So today I had my follow-up visit to the doctor for my Crohn's Diagnosis. I had my blood drawn last week for a blood count check, and totally expected him to say, "You're count is up, you're meds are doing their job, let's meet back in 3 months." That didn't happen...
As it turns out, my blood count is 10.6, which he said is lower than it was before the Colonoscopy. Truth be told, I thought it was 10.6 before the Colonoscopy, but hey, he had the chart in front of him so he would know.
He paused as he was looking through my chart and said, "Haven't you noticed that you are more tired lately?"
To which I replied, "Well, yeah, but I've been MAP Testing and I figured that since I'm working extra hard and am more stressed that it was due to that."
He just looked at me and then it hit me, the guy has no idea what MAP Testing is, or why it's so stressful.
Which is fine, he's a doctor, he doesn't live in the world of public elementary education, but it made me stop and think about how we all live in different little worlds. I have no idea what his world is like any more than he knows mine. Which is fine, it just made me think as he was sitting there, perplexed as to why I'm not progressing I should be.
So, next week I get to go in for another test. That's right, I get an abdominal scan!
So, if you believe in prayer, please pray.
I don't want anything else wrong with me...
Later!
