So much for “making it through the weekend” and “no news is good news”.

Yes – Karen called me this morning with my Small Bowel Follow Thru test results.

In a word – Inconclusive.

Seems I have a Prominence [(n) bump, lump swelling or protrusion] in my lower Bowel and the techs and the doctors won’t / can’t commit to there being nothing wrong with me.

Capsule Endoscopy take pill with large glass of water. Pill is actually a camera. Ain’t technology grand? Nano, nano.

The camera will take a picture of my small bowels every so many minutes. After the end of the day, I’ll express the camera and that’s the end of it. I’ll return to Rex later that day or the next and the tech’s and the doctors will read the recorded images and hopefully WE will have a complete and correct diagnosis of what is or isn’t going on.

I need to find out what Crohns disease is all about. That’s something that came up in my conversation with Karen. She doesn’t think that I have this disease since I have no systems of anything, but this test will definitely rule it out.

Shades of last year – “we don’t know what it is, but we do know what it isn’t”.

Sounds like we are working backwards again.

Once again I’ve stumped the doctors and the tech’s. I asked Karen about my pump and meter which works with radio waves interfering with the camera and giving incorrect results. Silence. She then tells me that my question is a good one, but she doesn’t know the answer to my question and she’ll have to call me back.

Once again, I’m the guinea pig
