CAT Scan

For the past few days I've been having a pain in my lower left abdomen. I called the surgeon yesterday to talk to her and see if it was anything I should be concerned with. She says, "I think you better come into the office". So, at 11:00 am, I leave work and by 1:00 pm I'm at NYU. After talking and poking, and talking and poking some more, she sends me for a CAT Scan of my abdomen and pelvic area. Her office is right in the hospital, so they made arrangements for me to go right over and get the Scan. It was a long wait, and I finally got home at about 7:30 pm last night. The frustrating thing is, they told me my surgeon will have the results in about 2 days.

I hate waiting for results of tests. In a way I hope they find something so I can just take care of it. It'll be worse if nothing shows up and I'm back at square one.

Keep your fingers crossed for me that they find the problem, but that it is nothing serious.

Fingers and toes crossed for you!  Keep us updated. Rosemary

Thanks Rosemary. I will keep you guys posted.

Hi!  Very interesting post this morning!!!  I have been having pain for about two days....Im trying to decide if I should call the Dr  or I just pulled something raking leaves....Keep me posted on how your doing....my thoughts and prayers are with you!

Thanks hun. After 2 days in pain I figured there was no harm in calling the Dr. and seeing if it was anything I should be concerned with. If your pain keeps up, you might want to do the same.

I promise to post as soon as I hear something.

You were smart to follow up with this. 2 days to find out?  GRRRRR! I'll say a little prayer that everything is fine for you.

Thanks Diane. The waiting is very frustrating.

Everything is crossed and saying a prayer for good results. Maria

I appreciate it Maria.

Hey Rachelle,
Did your doc suspect anything in particular? How are you feeling now? Any changes? I'm glad he's being proactive and checking your pain out agressively, but my guess is that it's not serious, as most things aren't. Please let us know when you find out. It sucks waiting, but the work is not allowing yourself to be in a place of fear about it. It sounds like you're on the ball with that (as usual)!

Hugs,
Amy
