MEDICAL UPDATE.

HI GUYS. WENT TO THE CHEMIST TODAY. WAS VERY LABOURED AND SWEATY, I WAS IN PAIN WITH THE GASTRIC STUFF AND IT WAS GOING DOWN MY ARMS AGAIN. MY PHARMACIST LOOKED ME STRAIGHT IN THE EYE AND SAID CALL YOUR DOCTOR. I GOT BACK AND I DID. THERE WAS A CANCELLATION AND I HAD HALF N HOUR TO GET THERE, I GOT READY AND CALLED A TAXI. MY DOC TOOK AN HOUR BEFORE I SEEN HIM, HE ALWAYS GIVES TIIME TO HIS PATIENTS. HE SAID GO IN HE WENT UPSTAIRS AND MADE HIMSELF AND ME A CUP OF TEA, THAT WAS NICE. I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD BEEN GOING ON AND I TOOK THE SUPPLEMENTS I WAS FROM THE CHEMIST AS WELL. I WAS SWEATING AND LABOURED, I LAYED DOWN ON THE EXAMINATION BED.

DOC THINKS VERY LIKELY THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ON THE OSOPHEGUS, HE SAYS SOMETHING SPLITS AND IT CAUSES CANCER. HE WAS CONCERNED about THE INTENSITY OF THE PAIN AND THAT I AM LABOURED, IN PAIN AND OUT OF BREATH WITH PAIN GOING DOWN MY ARMS WHEN WALKING. HE HAS OREDERED A TEST, DYE GOES IN AND THEY MAKE TUR HEART RACE AND FLUTTER. THIS IS FREAKING ME OUT. HE IS CONCERNED about THE BIG POSSIBOLITY OF ESCHEMIC HEART DISEASE. I THINK HE ORDERED THE ENDOSCOPY, NOT SURE, CAN'T READ THE PAPERWORK; VERY OVERCAST AND HAZY DAY, IT HAS PLAYED HAVOC WITH MY EYES TODAY. SORRY IF I HAVE STUFFED UP A BIT.

MY DOC HAS ALSO REFERED ME TO THE UROLOGIST AT THE PUBLIC HOSPITAL. I EXPLAINED HOW BAD IT WAS AND JOHN SAID HOW DO YOU SLEEP, I SAID I DON'T. I HOPE IT IS NOT TOO BIG A WAIT FOR THE UROLOGIST. JOHN SAID THERE IS A VERY EFFECTIVE DRUG THE SPECIALIST CAN PRESCRIBE. IT IS NOT ON THE CHEAP LOST BUT IT IS NOT TOO EXPENSIVE EITHER. JOHN GAVE ME SOME SOMAC FROM THE CUPBOARD, SAMPLE PACKS, I TAKE 1 AT NIGHT, HE SAID IT WILL CUT BACK THE ACID IN MY GUT. IT WAS VERY NICE OF HIM TO DO EVERYTHING IN 1 HIT.

WELL I AM TIRED. I NEED A REFRESHING SHOWER. SEE YOU ALL SOON. BE GOOD AND TAKE CARE, AND THANKS FOR LISTENING.

KINDEST OF REGARDS,
THE HAPPY TURTLE.

I'M GLAD YOU POSTED. IT WAS GOOD YOU GOT INTO YOUR DOCTOR. DON'T GET TO WORKED UP WITH THOSE TESTS AS THEY ARE NOT THAT BAD, JUST SCARY, ONCE DONE YOUR DOCTOR SHOULD BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OUT BETTER!
MANY WELL WISHES AND KEEP US POSTED. PRAYERS THAT EVERYTHING STARTS GETTING BETTER FOR YOU SOON...

Sending you well wishes, hopefully things are not as bad as they sound I know from experience that many times we were told that what they thought it was and needed testing on turned out that it wasn't and nor was it as bad when they did figure it out. Did that make sense
? Having some brain fog today.
Hang in there.

HI GUYS, IT IS NOW A WAITING GAME ON THE TESTS. THE WERE FAXED AT THE DOCTORS SURGERY. THE UROLOGY APPT IS WITH THE PUBLIC HOSPITAL, THIS COULD BE A LITTLE BIT OF A WAIT. THE HEART TEST IS WITH THE HOSPITAL BUT IS A SUBSIDARY OF IT SO THIS MIGHT BE SOONER. WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.

CATCH YA LATER.
THE HAPPY TURTLE. PS I THINK HE NEEDS SOME VET CARE!! LOL.

HEY JAMIE,

I HOPE THE RESULT WILL BE OKAY. KEEPING YOU IN MY THOUGHTS.

HANG IN THERE AND STAY POSITIVE!

TAKE CARE MY FRIEND.

I AM SORRY TO READ THAT YOU ARE NOT FEELING WELL. I AM GLAD THAT YOUR DOC IS WILLING TO TAKE THE TIME OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE HIS NUMBER ONE WHEN HE IS WITH YOU. I WISH THEY DID THAT IN CALIFORNIA. I HOPE IT IS NEVER CANCER! PLEASE KEEP US POSTED. I AM WORRIED AND I AM SENDING HEALING LOVE YOUR WAY. GET BETTER SOON BABY GIRL. I AM AN EMAIL AWAY SHOULD YOU NEED ME.

I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON. CARDIOLOGISTS SEEM TO STAY PRETTY BUSY. MY DAUGHTERS CAN BE HARD TO GET IN WITH IF YOU HAVE TO RESCHEDULE. HOPEFULLY, ITS NOTHING SERIOUS.

PS I AM TOTALLY JEALOUS OF YOU. ID STEAL YOUR DR IF HE WERE CLOSER! :P

HEY JAMIE, I HOPE IT ISN'T YOUR HEART AND IS JUST THE REFLUX. BUT YOU KNOW WE ALL WISH THAT. JAMIE YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD PERSON... I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE ON THIS FORUM AND THAT I MET YOU. KNOW I AM THINKING about YOU AND SENDING PRAYERS.

UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR FEAR. BUT THINGS WILL GET BETTER. KEEP POSITIVE AND KNOW WE ALL CARE about YOU. ONE SMALL STEP AT A TIME. YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK IF YOU CAN GET ON THE CANCELLATIONS LISTS FOR THE CARDIOLOGISTS AS THAT MIGHT GET YOU IN SOONER.
PRAYERS AND WELL WISHES, COMING YOUR WAY.

THANKS GUYS. NO STRESSORS, OK. YES I AM ON THE CANCELATIONS LIST. SEE MY DOC AGAIN ON THE 18TH. I AM OK. THANK YOU MY DEAR HW BUDDIES. LATE NIGHT. HAVE TAKEN MEDS. AWAITING MY NIGHTLY CALL BACK.
