I met with the GI doctor on Friday (June 19). This doctor was so funny, he kept saying again and again that this is not something young and healthy people have, so he was so confused about it all. He believes that Dr. Midgley has a pretty good theory, however his personal theory is that we won't ever know what caused it and we won't ever know why. However, to be safe, he ordered an MRAngiogram thing (like an MRI, but different) to make sure I don't have any more blood clots circulating around my body. His big question is, if I did have a clot in my colon, where did the clot come from and where did it go? So we are working to see if we can find answers to those questions.
His prescription for me is to continue taking an asprin a day, as Dr. Midgley is having me do and to be sure I eat healthy foods and stay as healthy as I can, pretty much for as long as long as I shall live. New motivation to be healthy!
I will do the MRI this week, see Dr. Midgley again next week, and then the following week I meet again with the GI doctor (well, his PA).
That is the update I have for you all today. Not much else to say.
