I went to the gastro doctor today and got a bit of a shock. First of all, I found out that I was STILL under the weight I was when I saw him for my IBS-D a little over three months ago. I am down 16 lbs. That explains why some of my newest jeans are now a little big on me. Duh!
He scheduled what he calls a *doppler* scan of my abdomen for Monday morning. He said he wants to make sure the arteries that supply my digestive tract are not clogged. Not because of any problem I am having but because he just wants to make sure that I don't have any problems because of something that can be taken care of easily. Easily? Hmm. I wonder.
It's another one of those tests where they tell you nothing to eat or drink after midnight. But I can take my necessary pills with just a tiny bit of water. The only ones *necessary* are the ones I take for the IBS-D. I have to take at least one so that shouldn't be tough to do. They are small....but mighty!
Another cold night ahead but a much warmer day tomorrow. They say we will be in the mid-to-high 60's. Our weatherman said it might hit 70. I'm all for that. I'm just hoping it stays decent for Monday. I told the Beast that I thought I would go for the test and then stop to see Cee on my way home. I haven't seen her for a while and it will be nice to just visit. The change of scenery will do me good.
Back to bed for me. I fell asleep watching the BBCA documentaries on the various areas in Africa, including the animals and how they exist in the various climates. I was more tired than I thought. I missed the Dino series on Discovery Family entirely. Chit! Oh well. I'll watch it next week.
Love you all. Dress for your weather and drive carefully. The life you save may be your own. ***Hugs***
