saw dr. today in RE: my upper right side pain

[Guest guest]

well i called the dr. this morning, and talked with the nurse. her

1st suspect was my gallbladder too. bt since i don't have one, she

asked for me to come in and get checked out. i saw the dr. and he

spoke fast and asked a lot of questions... he pushed around and felt

up and down my body. he asked about my history of my previous

adhesions, hernia, and asked about my liver... then, he had the

nurse write me out a slip to have an internal ultrasound tomorrow

AM, and more extensive bloodwork done. he kind of scared me when he

said he wanted to rule out an ectopic pregnancy! he said i have no

real other signs (no bleeding, spotting, " cramps " or fever, etc.)

but he wants to be safe. he said b/c i am a post op GB, he wants to

use caution and rule out the worst first, then deal with scar

tissue, etc.

he deals with just about all of us in my area (my GB dr. sends all

his preggos to him).... he is aware of our condition and risks. he

also handles high risk pregnancies, on the daily basis... so i am

comfortable with him and his decisions. plus i have a real good

friend who is a family dr. and she said he is awesome and when she

gets pregnant, he's gonna be her dr. so he sounds good, huh? trust

is the key.

i will let you guys know what i find out about these darn side

pains. you know they haven't even really hurt much today though (i

think i am phyching myself out)... geees, i just thought it was

something simple. oh well, one day at a time and i'm not stressing

until i know for sure and then i will! )
