The nurse practitioner called this morning and said that my vitamin levels have improved and they just want me to add calcium with vitamin D twice a day and the stool specimen came back negative for H pylori - doesn't mean i am in the clear they may still order the endoscope of my stomach but that is up to Dr. V to tell me this morning. I feel like they are making an extra effort to keep me informed now since the delay is their fault and I can appreciate that. Feeling like I matter now which is a good thing.
I remember the first meeting with my second surgeon. he and his staff make me feel like Im number one. he found my complication a week after my first apt with him........so i knew he was not just listening but actually hearing me. good feeling
