PCP running test
Well, I have something going on with me. When I went for my one year post op appointment with my surgeon, he said that my bilirubin test came back slightly elevated. He advised me to follow up with my PCP. So a few weeks ago I went in to see her and she said well lets run the test again because ususally it is an isolated incident. So she ran it again and it came back elevated again.
She is completely dumb founded by this because I no longer have my gall bladder and I am not showing any of the typical symptoms of someone whos bilirubin is elevated. So she said lets run some more blood test along with an ultrasound to find out what is going on. I am trying not to be nervous about this, but she is testing me for everything from Hepetitis to HIV. I work in a dental office and there has been times in the past that I have stuck myself with an instrument. I have been tested for those then but it has been well over 5 years.
So I don't know what is going with me. I go for my ultrasound on Monday and I had my blood work done on Wednesday (7 vials of blood). I don't go back to see her for the results until the middle of July. It is going to be hard to wait that long to see what is going on.
Hi Cheri,
That is going to be hard to wait til july but stay busy, and as hard as it is, try not to worry since it's not going to do you any good anyway to worry for two weeks. your pcp is great to test you for so many things and very thorough.
Please keep us up to date on any news and I'll be throwing good thoughts your way,
Inky
