Let the Games Begin!!

So today was the initial consultation with the docs at KU Med. It's literally been months we've been waiting to get this started, and today was the day...I have to say we were both pleased with the physicians with whom we met. They seemed to understand the significance of getting this figured out...on some levels, just being heard was a difference.

To begin, he's consulted with two internists, and a referral is being made to a GI at KU Med to start the process...they understand our frustration with how things have gone so far, and seem willing to look outside the box, which is what we desperately need.....

Even though nothing dramatic happened, and no new insights were immediate, it feels like we're finally on a roll and ready to get somewhere....in one of those good/bad experiences, Terry was feeling pretty crummy today, which has to help the diagnosis if he can describe how he's feeling when he's feeling it....

His immediate project is to collect 24 hrs of urine...fun....but it's something concrete for him to do, so it's good....I just need this rolling and getting somewhere before I have to go back to work...that's been the plan; that is the goal. We are officially on go now!!
