There. No question. No real surprise after the bellyaching of the last two weeks.
My gastroenterologist is on sabbatical till the end of the month. Of course. The new nurse I talked to–well, she tried. After I described the problem re diagnosis of blood hitting air and oxidizing, and this morning there being absolutely no question but it was difficult to gauge volume for that reason…she stopped me with, Did you have any rectal bleeding?
Let me explain to her again why I can never have that again in my life.
Let me explain the Crohn’s+lupus thing.
I’ve got a ton of knitting and writing to catch up on.
(Update Wednesday morning: I simply wasn’t home yesterday, with errands that had to be run, so I never did talk to the doctor; the same nurse called back this morning and totally got it. Today is enough better that we’re holding off on the barium x-ray for the moment.)
