Seems it's my turn to be in the hospital -- not for any overnight stays, but for tests. I had to go in for a test today, and, of course, the weather is lousy. Cold (wind chill at 30) and rainy. Last week I also went in for a test (same problem) and the weather was just plain rainy -- hard, driving rain, but at least the temperature was around 70 degrees.
I've been having kidney problems for a couple of years and when we got home from vacation there were markers that I was having more than just low functioning kidneys, so I was sent in for an ultra-sound of my kidneys. That was last week and the pictures showed that there was a mass of some sort in there, so this Thursday (seems to be the out-patient day for me) I went in for CT scan. I won't know until next week what the results are.
I'm just lazing around wondering what's in there. Is it a large blot clot? Is it a large kidney stone? I've had small ones before. Is it a tumor (Yikes, I hope not!). Is it perhaps a hair ball? Just kidding on that one. I don't eat my hair like some people on TV do. Yuck.
Oh, yeah, I am NOT in pain, nor do I have any other complaints, other than the usual. To you young folks, don't get old. I said that to the nurse today and she said, "Do you know how many times a week I get told that?" I guess I'm not alone in the aches and pains department. My PT specialist says its the weather. Okay, I can buy that. We've had crummy weather for four days, and my pain levels have been at about 7 in all joints for that many days.
So, when I find out what's happening I'll post it here on the Fat Lady BLOG for all the world that is interested to know.
