Well for the weekend that is. I guess there is suppose to be a heat wave this week (same temp as last 2 weeks). John, being the spontaneous husband he is got a hotel in Seal Beach and we are just gonna hang out with the kids, have a bonfire at bolsa chica, surf and just avoid the "heat wave"...

What is wrong with me??

So you guessed it, the HIDA scan results were negative. Well, that's what I make from it. See, that's a problem you have when you work in the medical field. I got my results because I couldn't wait for a call back from my doc. So I took the liberty to get it myself (don't ask) and well it didn't say anything bad. But Monday, I had another attack that sent me home. I called my doctor's office and they said they would give me a call back with my results and to see what the next step was. Well, I'm actually one step ahead of them, but I am still waiting for that call...
So I'm gonna go ahead and diagnose my stomach problems as "gallbladder problems" until I get a call back or something otherwise is diagnosed.

HIDA, HIDA, HIDA, Ho!

Below is what I had done today. It's called a HIDA scan. In non-medical terms, it basically shows if the liver, gallbladder and all those bile ducts work. First I was injected with radioactive "stuff" (I know cool, huh?) and then this machine takes pictures for an hour. So I was able to lay down for an hour...that was the only perk. I shut my eyes and just rested, it was nice...

Anyway, I don't know what the results are yet I will have to call my doctor in a few days to find out. I know this sounds crazy, but I hope they found something on this scan today. I have had an xray of my gallbladder, a ultrasound of my gallbladder, barium swallow, and now this. I do have pain in my stomach, I really do. I feel like these doctors are suspecting that I may be making these things up. But I'm not and really wish I was. It's an awful gnawing pain which brings nausea and vomiting with it. It seems like I have been having more attacks lately in the past 6 months. I just hope someone finds a answer for me.
