Anyone heard from Kim?

I wonder if they hospitalized her yesterday. If y'all hear anything let us know. Trudy

I'm here. Nope, no hospitalization. They ordered a CT Scan of my abdomen and I just got off the phone with the doc with the results. I have a thickening of the bowel wall at the jejunum. Well, that's where the tube is, and is somewhat expected. He said it is also not uncommon. And shouldn't cause all the pain or swelling. So I'm supposed to stick it out, see if it resolves on its own, and see Dr. D. on my next appt. on March 10. Keep taking my pain pills to have some semblance of life. Man I hate this. So I'm considering if I should go to Adventist and get a second opinion? I don't necessarily need to go to ER, but i don't know where to go and how to get an urgent appt. with someone else. Any advice?

Kim, I feel so badly for you. They couldn't give you any time frame for the "stick it out, see if it resolves on its own?" That is so frustrating. Bet those doc's never had such severe pain or they wouldn't expect it from you. I wish I had some advice for you. All I can say is that my thoughts are with you. I sure wouldn't rule out the second opinion. Even if it means sitting in an ER for hours. Hugs, Valorie
