Hi Gang
 I went this A.M. to get simple Xrays on my back since the MRI was denied for various reason. 1) being that regualr xrays were not done. So went & got them taken
no problem, right!! An hour later I get a call from my Doc's office saying I _MUST go
to ER now as they found something on the Xrays. No one bothered to tell me what, only I had to go NOW. So got very scared thinking they found some kind of cancer or growth or just had all kinds of stuff going thru my mind on the ride over there. I get
there & they say why are you here?   DAHH If I knew I would tell you. They do a
CT scan of myback find nothing. Do lab & uranalysis & the only thing that was found
a very minor urinary tract infection (beginning stages). So there is some good out of this, but, scaring  the crap out of me was not good for the BP or stress at all. They still do not know what the Radioligist saw on the Xray that would cause so much panic, accept my thinking is he/she might not know I was an RNY patinet and saw the bypassed
stomack thru the Xray & did not guess on what it was. I am on antibiotics for the
infection & that is good before it got way out of control & calmed down now, but
spending 4 hrs in ER was not a fun day for me. Just needed to vent a little. hope
you all had a better Thrusday then I did.
