A parade of "ologists"

First of all thanks for the good wishes. The skin biopsies were no big deal. I saw the Gastro doc today to schedule an always enjoyable colonoscopy. Apparently since I have a heart murmur again they want me cleared by a Cardiologist. I see my primary doc again in two weeks because I lost like 12 pounds in as many days. So if it's the diabetes acting up , an endocrinologist might be in my future. I'm beginning to want to find somewhere to hide and hibernate till things slow down a bit. But that won't resolve anything. So I just have to keep marching on with the "parade."

I hear you about the wanting to hide thing!

My dad had to get cleared by a heart doc before they would move forward on his other stuff. So I have experienced the waiting game myself.

Thank you for the update!

Keeping you in my thoughts,
Pepper

Wow, Drake, I was just thinking about you today and wondering how you're doing. You are very brave and very strong. Your courage in facing your health issues is wonderful. Hoping that all is well. Keep us posted.

I have been thinking of you also. I am sorry things aren't going well. Just take one day at a time. Hugs.

Pepper, Heidi and mollgirl thank you so much. I have ano appointment to see my regular Doc. I am still losing weight without really trying. Lost a couple more pounds over the last three days. If it continues and my health declines I'll do the responsible thing. I will take action to try and get things back on track. My girlfriend is starting to get really worried. I am trying to keep things on an even keel so that she won't be so worried. She wants me around for quite a while and I want to give her what she wants.
