The neurologist nurse called Friday, said that the doc wants to do another deeper blood test, so cancel the appointment with the rheumatologist on the 18th. Set up for blood draw Monday morning. Saturday received a letter from my primary care physician about the liver tests. Yeah, my gut has been rough, and lot of random acid reflux. The liver levels are increasing, so wanted me to call to schedule a CT of the liver and gall bladder. Went in this morning for the blood draw. Later the nurse called to say "Whoops". It was supposed to have been a 24-hour alcohol and 12-hour food/liquid fast. So, rescheduled another blood draw for Tuesday morning. This time they're looking for rheumatoid arthritis and something about lipid metabolism and HDL. When the results of that test come back from Mayo, we need to have a follow-up with the doc since it's been since February since I've seen him. Everything has been through his nurse. Called my primary care physician about the CT scan. It's to be a barium contrast scan, with a 12-hour fast. His nurse phoned back with an appointment for next Monday with a follow-up with the doc later that day. Oh Lord Above, please direct them to the correct spot, soon. Thank you.
