CT tomorrow

[Nano22]

I did. I have appointment with doc to go over today at 1:00. Couldn’t sleep. Cried on and off with fear. I have zero coping skills. I’m terrified what’s she is going to tell me.

Got text from dr. Rescheduled til tomorrow because scan results are not back yet. She knows how hard this is for me so she keeps checking to see if they have come back while she is teaching this morning. Said inpatient and ER scans are read first. Mine could take 48 hours.

everything will be ok

Thank you.

I am so sorry you have to be part of the waiting game. We all know how hard that is.

Best of luck! I have a CT tomorrow as well (checking out some rib tenderness and doc wants to follow up form a clear xray) and trying not to jump to conclusions. Hang in there and let us know what you find out.

did you have your scan yet?

It’s torturous. I couldn’t even function at work waiting to leave for my one o’clock appointment. Then when it was cancelled I went into full sobbing mode. I work with my husband. Poor guy feels helpless.

I want to thank everyone for your information and your kind words. My CT scan showed I have a small hernia near my belly button. And a small cyst on my pancreas which I’ve known about for 15 years. Think it actually got smaller.
Going to see PCP today. Stomach still bothering me.

Hernias are sooo common!!! I’m glad all went well!

Thank you. She wants me to have an upper endoscopy and belly button hernia surgery. The office just called to schedule a consult with surgeon and I freaked and couldn’t answer it. Scares me that I won’t allow myself care that I need.

This sounds like fear of the unknown, and I think it is partly a reaction caused by a real physical condition. Years ago when I broke my leg I had a real fear of amputation because I didn't know if I would lose the leg. All was fine and the stress and fear actually kept from acting on bad decisions in that early part of recovery (physical over-activity) during healing. What you describe reminds me of a reaction I had that may be similar. Once you know the diagnosis, the fear should evaporate.

Thank you for your reply. My dr said it’s minor surgery but you’re correct in it being a fear of the unknown. I’m terrified they will find something else when they go in to do the repair.
