Doctors Doctors Doctors

I have a pair of socks cast on, but don't seem to get to them very often. Have been trying to do a few rows on my lacy shawl every night as well as working on my surprise project. I tried making a cell phone pouch for Gary's cell phone but it is going back to the drawing board I think. The one I made works good for my phone but not so great for his. Crystal has been wearing her scarf back and forth on her walks to and from school and says that it is cozy, which is good.

It does seem that this getting older is strictly for the birds. I told Gary last night that I am sure my doctor's receptionist is going to think that we are having an affair I have been there so often. It is bad when you walk into his office and she starts getting your chart without asking who you are, and then you take your perscription next door and they have you all pulled up on the computer by the time you get to their counter. I expect that in a small town, but I live in a city! Wednesday afternoon I had a pain start at the top of my stomach and I figured it was probably gastritis or somesuch and that if I took Gaviscon it would be better the next day. No such luck, it appeared to be worse the next day and didn't appear to be easing at all throughout the day so off to the doctor I went. He put me on the examining table and checked it out and said that he would give me losac(spelling) to help with the production of stomach acid and that I had to come back in one week to be checked again, or sooner if it wasn't getting any better. He told me that because of my Crohn's as well as the new drugs that I have to take for it that he couldn't rule out something with my liver. But if these pills worked then he could safely assume that it was the acid problem.

I am still waiting to hear from the hospital to hear when I go for my second scope. Since I haven't heard yet it seems that the appt won't be while Ryan and Tammy are here which is good. I am anxious to have it though and see if these pills are doing what they are suppose to do.

I am also waiting, not so patiently to hear from a friend who was having a procedure done the other day. She has been in my thoughts and I hope that all went well for her.
