I went to see Dr. Haney today for the first time since I filed bankruptcy 5 years ago. I couldn't stand the pain in my hip and leg any longer but I also had some abdomenal pains that I was concerned about, too. I was x-rayed. He found that the arthritis had flared up in my spine and that I had a spur pressing on a nerve in my leg. I was given two shots for that. Then he said he wanted to run some tests on my other pains to rule out whether it is my liver ailment flaring up again, my gall bladder acting up or an ulcer forming. I'm banking on ulcer, given what is going on in my life. At any rate I've got an ultra sound test for Monday afternoon and some kind of dye related test for Tuesday morning. What I remember of the ultra sound test when I had my liver problem several years back is that it will be painful. I cried when I had it back then because they pressed right down on where it hurt.


My sponsor and I postponed our dinner out for tonight due to weather conditions on her end and my stomach problems. We're rescheduing for after Christmas.
