Belly murmurings
I’ve never been big on medicine. My dad always told me “Indians are tough and don’t cry” — not sure why he thought that would make me stop crying but it always did. So the fact that I’ve had stomach pains off and on for a few years now never caused me too much worry. They would come at random times, didn’t seem to have any patters in regards to what I ate and would usually go away after a good night’s rest. My most recent episode however left me buckled over in pain so Brad made me call the doctor and make you an appointment.
I won’t bore you with the details about having 3 vials of blood drawn and having CT scans in a machine that scared the cxxx out of me (in a trailor behind the hospital), but the story ends with my doctor calling me today to say that everything came up clear, he couldn’t see anything life-threatening and to “have a nice weekend”. Hmmmm.
been there done that. i remember watching Battle Star Gallactica as a youth and bending over in pain from an unknown stomach disturbance. The only thing that made me feel better was throwing up. I think it was from brad punching me in the kidneys.
I am glad there are no serious findings, however I know that doesn’t take the pain away.
