Thank you for your concern! I had a zpack in my drawer for when I needed it (it's not expired and it is mine, my son takes liquid and I swallow pills).... and I did check with the nurse today and she said it was fine to take it if I needed it. They are more concerned with the herbs I take (incase they are blood thinners?) and so they prefer me to be on meds... go figure. That said, I have to stop all herbs 7 days before surgery and motrin/alieve 10 days before if not 2 weeks before. I am TRYING not to take the motrin (I can take tylenol but only liquid and I hate that stuff...blech) since my surgery is scheduled for the 26th... but I am taking herbs too, trying to not make this "whatever it is" worse!

I also had an ultrasound on Dec 30th in the ER, with all the Gyn issues no one noticed it said I have lymph node of concern on my pancreas. So I didn't think anything of it, until I had pain in that area today (could be I was just catching whatever my son has, but I am pro active about my health) -- anyway, the gastro can't see me for a month and told me to call my PCP for an MRI. I did, and he won't wriet for one because he wants the gastro to check me out. So now I have one office calling the other office (and you know they rush to do that!) about being seen. Tomorrow I need to call and see if I can move up the gastro appt or call the Gyn surgeon and ask for him to write for one. I doubt it's anything of major concern BUT before the go into my navel for surgery, I want to be cleared of anything that could be a concern. Whew.

So yeah... not a happy day for me! =(

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me... I hope we both have a better day tomorrow. =)
