I Am Going Where?
Thursday's mail included some interesting things...
When I see an envelope from the medical clinic I go to, I have become accustomed to it being a letter from one of the many (transitional ) doctors I have seen there (I am one of those patients who will pretty much see anyone, not just my PCP) informing me they are leaving.
I have seen so many different doctors there in the last 6 months.
So, these two envelopes did not spark any excitement or wonder from me, initially.
Then, after thinking about it, I started wondering, "who is leaving now"?
So I opened them.
I was a bit shocked by one, and kind of scared by the other.
Envelope number one contained a referral (the shocking one). For an x-ray. Of my heart.
HUH???
No one mentioned having any questions about my heart, even after I had that EKG when I experienced those two sudden episodes of extreme chest pain (which was later speculated to have been caused from my low potassium level). I have determined I will call the clinic on Monday to clarify whether they actually sent the right letter to the wrong person, or the wrong letter to the right person...
Envelope number two contained something that did not really shock me, just made me think of something I didn't really want to think about ever again...
It was a referral (the kinda scary one) back to the U-Dub (University of Washington) dermatology department. During my follow up exam with my clinic doctor last week, it was noted that the lump that was removed from my ear lobe almost two years ago has rejoined the ranks of Jae's body parts.
You see, if the diagnosis from that first investigation was correct (not an actual lymphoma, but a pseudo lymphoma) the lump should NOT have returned.
So, a little more stress has now been added to my already troubled stomach.
Guess I will have to (again) prepare for battle.
This sucks so bad!
Not my favorite issue to have to face. But, I guess I gotta.
And just when I thought things were going well in my life...

I hope that there is nothing really to worry about. Take care, and let us know when you find out something.
