Sorry you had a flare up. Hope you feel better soon. It sounds like your nurse is related to the TSA agent I encountered once who insisted I empty my pockets because I set off the metal detector. I explained three times I had no pockets but that my artificial hips were metal. But no she kept “wanding” me and insisted I must have pockets somewhere. Oy!

I’m so sorry to hear you’re flaring! What is any gastero doc doing hiring a nurse that doesn’t know basic anatomy? I hope you asked for a back-up gastero, and that when you finally see yours you tell him about your experience — it would be funny if it weren’t so serious!
My thoughts are with you.

Uh oh. Listening is a skill that needs to be practiced. I do hope you see an alternate gastroenterologist soon. Yikes! And, yes, the knitting will help.

Hmmm, your G.I. doctor is on sabat, I would try to get a hold of his personal nurse, (unless she is on vacation too),maybe a word to the head of department to find out someone who could work with you.This is nothing to mess with it as you well know. Take care Alison.You have more patient than I have.

Not fun. Rest. Take care.

Good grief! You need that like I need another hole in my head! Please take care. We all will be praying for you.

praying for you to be better soon — and to avoid that X-ray if possible!

Prayers, prayers, and more prayers…

Ugh… Prayers for you, Alison!

Thinking of you Alison, take care.

So sorry you have such a price to pay for the enjoyable time you spent with friends and family…

Knit away and know many healthy and courageous vibes are being sent your way – daily! 🙂

I do hope you keep improving. I’m glad the nurse seems to be interested in learning; she is no doubt encouraged by your patient explanations.
