Scan went off with few hitches. Guy tech trying too hard to be personable, asking too many questions, just do it already. He also couldn't get the iv in good so while it returned well, it wasn't past the valve, so I have some pretty nasty swelling/soreness and an ugly bruise. The double dose of barium really works better for me than the hypaque, but still bites. I am zonked and have been to the bathroom triple the normal number of times for me. I also have a migraine. I think this is related to the iodine iv since I seem to get one every time regardless of prep.
Nurse called and said things looked ok, they would see me Monday and work on scheduling "things" with the surgeon. Sigh. Ack. (particularly since guy tech threw the words partial colectomy into his chatter today which sounds much more yucky than snagging the mystery bump.) Why couldn't they just say woo hoo mystery bump has vanished.
BTW-official name of mystery bump has been upgraded to "cecal lump" but I think I will call it Bob.
An ulcerative colitis err make that Crohn's story...with graphic tummy troubles in places...

Bob is an excellent name.
Sorry about all the yuckiness. :(
yes, I like the name bob better. Much easier to spell and remember.
Ummm not, not Bob. Bob = sea monkeys or CH's cat and neither of those are things I want to think about in relation to your colon. Well CH's cat maybe but, no.
Mystery bump.
How rude of Bob to keep hanging around where he's not welcome. Sorry you have to bring in outside help to get rid of him.
Well, it seems bob has been joined by bertha bump.
I really like the ignore it and it goes away method. Wish it worked long term.
