Well i finally made the appointment and went to see the dr. two days ago. I actually saw the P.A. instead of the Dr. but it was good.
I really liked the P.A. he was quite the character really friendly, a little hyper and just the kind of guy you would want to have over for a BBQ or something..LOL.. anyway he checked me over, gave me a few taps around different areas of my abdomen, discussed heart disease and how he thinks it's my gall bladder causing the chest pains but he wanted to send me for an EKG just to be safe.
He also has me going to have an ultrasound on my gallbladder and he gave me a prescription for reglan to help me digest my food better and not have my gallbladder working overtime
He ordered bloodwork but since the lab if right up the street I had to go there for that. also urine samle which they called me back about as I was heading out the front door, i guess they ran it and the test results came up with a high level of white cells (infection) and the nurse wanted to see if i needed to have it treated. they wanted to wait for the culture to come back before they did anything about that.
So onto the lab and blood draw... I got there just as they were closing so the phlebot was none to happy that she wasnt getting to leave 5 mins early, handed her my paperwork and as we walked back to the chair i asked if my GF could do the draw, first the girl said no, they arent allowed to do that but then i said..ok well do you have a table or something because I'm telling you i dont do well with this.
She took me back to a recliner chair in the far corner, came back and handed my gf the needle and gloves and let her do the draw, i was fine..didnt feel a thing so that made my day a whole lot better
oh and in between the Dr. office and the lab I had to go to the post office and pick up my baby chicks
