Well, I finally have an appointment with the GI clinic. Ten days ago, when I called, they said they were reviewing my case. Today, when I called, they offered me an appointment on August 22nd. Naturally, I used my Army voice to insist on an earlier appointment because whether it's Crohns Disease, cancer or ulcerative colitis, it's eating a hole in my intestines. Of course, the poor admin couldn't do anything except give me the number to the case manager, which I sincerely appreciate. I left a detailed message and I have an appointment on Thursday. Considering the three emergency visits since my surgery, the list of symptoms, and the findings of the surgery, I have zero confidence in the case manager. Maybe she's overworked and underpaid, you say. Not my problem. My problem? The disease that's eating a hole in my intestines.
And today we can officially add pancreatitis to the list. My upper right quadrant hurts. Another score for Crohn's Disease.
