A quick update...

In the way of updates... just wanted to put in here some results of the recent doctor's visits. I hate doctors... have I mentioned that? Well, I do.

Any how... they scheduled an Endoscopy last week to make sure that my chest pains were not being caused by anything gastrointestinal. And among other concerns... Dr. Cline said that he found a place in my stomach that was hemorrhaging. Niiice. My guts are bleeding. Great.

And I'm not quit sure if it's the whole mind over matter thing, but ever since that appointment I've noticed that I've had sharp pains in my stomach. And lasting pain, not just one stab and it's gone. Not too excited about that. Dr. Cline didn't seem to concerned though, so I'm really not sure.

The "other conscerns" (which I will not get into) could be a huge financial straign. Basically, the doctor he want to refer me to is not currently covered by my insurance. They want a HUGE new patient set up fee before they will even submit for pre-approval from my insurance. I have found a cheaper route, but I'd have to travel quite a ways to get there. Confused yet?

Bottom line - either *a* my insurance covers it and I can take care of it locally; *b* I travel, cheaper doctor, time off work, possibly hotel costs; *c* do nothing and problem could be sever. What's a girl to do??

Well, I'm about to pass out - have been home for about 20 min or so and have been on the road since about 6am this morning. sooo tired. Will give ya details about the Single Conference and Family Reunion later... gonna.... go... to.... zzzzzzzZZZZzzZZZzzZZzZZZZzz
