Back From Testing [OT]

I'm so sorry you're having this setback. I'm sure everyone's premium is
different, and it probably varies state-to-state, but my sister's COBRA
premium was around $800 per month. Ridiculous.
It just makes me so mad all over again at the health care situation.
It's practically legalized extortion.
Purrs for a good outcome, swift and uncomplicated resolution.

Jeanne Hedge...

Yeah, COBRA is insane. I would have had to pay $350+/month just for
*me* to continue my coverage. I ended up going to a local agent and
getting a 6-month temporary policy (renewable 1 time) for slightly
more than $100/month.

And it didn't go too well. *SIGH*

Oh, my. That is worrisome. I hope it is not a bad as it seems.
Texas size purrs and prayers are headed your way from Cinder and Rosie and
me on Genesis in Charleston, S.C.

Many hugs.

Annie, crew for Rosie and Cinder

ROTFLMAO! You know, it could be, as much as I kiss on my furbabies!!! ;>

Wouldn't it be hiliarious if that's really what it is?!

Purrs that it be something simple and easily treatable and purrs for your
nerves, too.

First they had planned to just look at my stomach and upper intestines so
they did a "live" barium swallow x-ray. I watched my insides along with the
radiologist and saw the liquid going down. On this screen I saw all the
sausage-looking intestines and in the middle the small intestine was a
grapefruit sized mass (kind of looked like an anaconda that had swallowed a
grapefruit). The radiologist then said, OK let's just take a few more
"hard" films. They did that and then they came back and said they decided
to look at the lower part of my intestines so I had to wait a while for the
barium to get down there. Then they said they needed me to drink a *second*
large cup of barium. Then they said they needed me to walk around some
more, and they kept taking more and more "hard" films but didn't seem to get
what they wanted. Then the radiologist came back and did another "live"
x-ray and then they finally let me go.

My surgeon is out of town this week, so it won't be until next week that I
get an "official" diagnosis, but if his stand-in doctor calls with results
I'll let you guys know.

Monique Y. Mudama...

God. I'd be going nuts right about now wondering what they did or
didn't see. Many purrs, both for your nervers as you wait on the
news, and for this to be no big deal when you do find out what it is.

glsummer...

Uck -- sorry it was such a hassle. And I hope that the news from your
doctor is good.

Try not to worry too much in the meantime Lori, or make any assumptions
about what you saw. Especially so because you had the elective surgery you
did. I can imagine that could cause all sorts of problems.
