Whoops!! Totally forgot I had a blog!! I was thinking last night, " There is something missing from my general "rounds" on the Internet. " It was the blog section of my routine that had gone missing. I feel bad like I've let someone down, but really, I don't think anyone cares. Ha!
Well, let's see. Seemingly lots to update about. Lets start with less fun stuff and go into a bit more exciting things. (And by exciting, I mean that I may or may not have found a quarter the other morning.)
Health update: MRI was clear (Woohoo!!). I don't think I had posted that, but it was tumor-free! The next step my doctor wanted me to do was to get a urinary test done. They literally stuck a catheter in me and filled my bladder with two different solutions. One of them is a placebo, and the other one is laced with some kind of protein. If I had anything wrong with my bladder, that protein would react with my bladder and sting horribly. Thank GOODNESS I didn't have anything wrong there. Phew. But lets step it back a couple steps for a minute. The nurse couldn't get the catheter in me right away. So I was literally being poked and felt up by the nurse for 10 minutes. Finally she called another Nurse into the room and used a different catheter. Leaving the office that day, I thanked them both for going to fourth base with me. Oy.
Since nothing was wrong with my bladder, I am now going to see a GI doctor on Thursday. Not quite sure what test they are going to do just yet. It will either be a colonoscopy or the test where they go down the throat. Gross. Knock me out for whichever one she chooses!!
Moving on....I think I am going to be changing my diet. While I am on low-carb, I seem to regulate and have about half the pain I normally do. I'm curious with the connection between the two. I've spoken with my doctor about the connection but really can't remember her answer (go figure). Anyway, I am meeting with my bosses wife downtown Milwaukee today, as she works for Whole Foods Market and is in charge of the Gluten Free section. She will be letting me know more about where to start, what to get, how she lives (as she has Celiacs Disease...intolerant to Gluten and Wheat). So I'm pretty excited about that today!
I just realized I have to get going!!!! I need to meet Autumn in about a half hour! Whoops! More later!

Hey T,
Glad your tests are coming back negative and hope when they figure out the situation it is just a dietary issue that can easily be fixed. Keep us posted. And, yes, we do care about your blog and how you are :)
