As expected all the blood test came back totally average. I know that average in blood tests is a good thing and that is doesn't mean average in life or personality or anything, it's just that I wanted that easily found and easily cured red flag to show up earlier rather than later. What Dr. Mensch wants to do now is look for parasites and do an abdominal ultrasound. Now the parasites good Dr. Mensch is looking for, in case you are wondering, live in your digestive tract. Luckily there will be no search and rescue mission going on, but guess who has to poo into a container? And guess who has to give multiple samples of the possibly parasitic poo? I am breathless with excitement. Luckily Dr. Mensch's secretary took pity on me and sent me home with all sorts of latex gloves and other things to make the whole process , well, less like digging through shit and more like a sterile medical procedure. I'd take a photo (and it would be discreet and perfectly composed and lovely as can be) if I could keep the whole new kind of poo freak away from my mommy blog, but there are people out there I just don't want a hit from, you know what I mean?
As far as the ultrasound goes, good Dr Mensch told me he wanted to have an ultrasound of my gall bladder and then decided that since he already had me on the table, I should just lie still and have the whole area scanned. Since my mother had her gall bladder out at 27 and my sister had hers out at 32, I figure I am the family goddess of a long lasting gall bladder here at the tender age of 41. The whole gall bladder thing is a possibility since my chiro has been telling me for quite some time that he has to work my gall bladder reflex and that I need to cut down on fatty foods. Hahaha. What? Like I had no idea that Haagen Daz and potato chips were fatty! Gosh golly gee whiz.
So, the ultasound is for tomorrow and the samples, well, they need three poo samples and if everything goes along the way it has been going lately, I could accomplish that today and get it back to good Dr. Mensch in the morning. I know, too much information. Sorry
