I've been waiting to post for a few reasons. First, I knew we would be getting a "new to us" computer this week, thanks to Scott's sister and the great Kaboom! organization (THANK YOU, Mandy!!) Second, I was really upset and disappointed in my visit with the neurologist last week. I had such high hopes for that visit, and I was really not pleased with the doctor at all. Third, I was hoping to share results of all those tests and the MRI. I was able to get a copy of the VMA and blood work from medical records, but Dr. Al Hamda's office won't return my calls to tell me what they mean. So, based on what I can tell from the medical records, here's what I think we know: my thyroid is functioning correctly, and the VMA results (which I finally remembered was to check for tumors in my adrenal glands) look good. The only thing that came back high was the hematology - manual cell counts lab, which shows my ESR level is at 32, but should be between 0-20. I have no idea what the means, but the one I was eager to hear about was the VMA anyway. In the mean time, my brother called last night to recommend going to an internist to manage all of these different doctors. What a great idea! I am working on finding one as we speak. I think I will look for a new neurologist while I am at it. Scott and I are also planning on getting away for a few days over Thanksgiving weekend, thanks to his parents' willingness to watch the kids and hotwire.com's willingness to find us a cheap but nice hotel room in downtown Indy. We can't wait to get away for a few days and pretend that I am healthy!
