My gut still isn't really well

[redbird]

My gut is still bothering me on and off, so I called Carmen's office and asked them to give her a message. The receptionist called back, and I have an appointment to see her Thursday morning. In person: the receptionist offered telemedicine, but it sounded as though Carmen thought this appointment might work better in person. It occurred to me after hanging up that she may want more blood tests, and that will be a lot easier as well as quicker with a phlebotomist on site than if I had to try to get an appointment at Quest. (If necessary, I will call the office Thursday morning and ask to switch it to telemedicine.)

One of the things I want to ask about on Thursday is whether it makes sense to travel in a couple of weeks.

Based on my notes from a couple of months ago, I think this will produce a prescription for a different antibiotic, a referral to the infectious disease specialist, or both. Also, based on those notes, I probably should have called Carmen sooner, but it had seemed as though things were improving (based on tracking which days I took Imodium.)

You mentioned that this may interfere with your travel plans. Is it getting to that point?

thanks for asking

I forgot to include that in the post. So, I'm going to ask Carmen's opinion about me going to Montreal in a couple of weeks. I suspect the likely answers are maybe, depending on how I feel closer to the planned trip, or that I shouldn't go.
