Today I speak to my mum's GP for a good old doctor-to-doctor chat about her predicament. Apparently she was tested and scanned in some detail during her recent spell in hospital, and nothing particularly abnormal was found. But her nausea and vomiting remain, to the point where she is scarcely eating at all and has lost nearly a stone in weight (6kg) in 2 months. So what is to be done? Her GP is forced to admit there is case for upper GI (gastrointestinal) endoscopy to make sure nothing nasty was missed on the scan.
It's all a bit of a conundrum, but I feel a little better that I have at least done something.
Of course it will have to be me who accompanies her on the day, requiring probably a whole day off work. I suppose I'll just have to bear in mind one of my wife's more zen aphorisms:
"It is what it is"
Thanks love, for that one.
