The Nurse finally called me back late yesterday afternoon (after I had to call) and I am even more confused now. My Dr is covering at one of the local hospitals this week so it was tough to break him free to read the report. He wasn't immediately concerned like needing me to be admitted and wants to see me in office to discuss the results. Naturally he isn't available to see me until December 8. Obviously I told the nurse that wasn't acceptable so she is trying to find a slot with one of his colleagues.
In the mean time I FedeXing the imaging to Dr K today so he can look himself on Monday. I love the fact that he always wants to look at actual imaging as he sees things relative to what he does everyday that a radiologist wouldn't be familiar with. Not that radiologists aren't good, they just don't specialize in his area.
Maybe this finding is no big deal but I am tired of feeling like garbage (one or two good days one or two bad days where I drop 5-7 pounds of crap). My fear is that since the nurse told me the report showed this finding distal of the distal anastomosis that near my BPL/AL/CC junction could have a hernia or adhesion in the CC area, and if needed repaired I could lose some of my absorbing intestine. Hopefully that isn't the case, but I still think I have a partial blockage from a hernia as I have all the symptoms I had before. I go to the bathroom 3-5 times a day on a typical day and on those flush out days 5-7 times, so I just don't see how this could be simple constipation....I also eat a variety of foods from fat to veggies to bad sweets so my shit should flow.
So it is hurry up an wait. Good news is that I am feeling pretty good today.
