I knew when I went to see my general practitioner, Dr. Vogleman that I'd be in for a giant barrage of tests, and I was right.
My main reason for seeing him was the weight loss I've experienced since last summer. In late July I weighed in at my normal 150 pounds, and yesterday at the clinic I weighed 136.
My neurologist said that some people with Parkinson's do lose quite a bit of weight but that I should see my G.P. to make sure there wasn't another reason for the weight loss.
Dr. Vogleman scheduled me for a chest x ray, a cat scan, a fasting blood draw, and a colonoscopy. I also have to go in for a couple of shots for the Bursitis in my hips.
The clinic called yesterday evening and said I should go to the hospital for the blood draw and the chest x ray and not to forget to fast for 12 hours beforehand.
This morning I got up and ate my usual bacon, sausage, eggs, toast and milk before it sunk in that fast is not the same as breakfast.
Oh well! I'll try again tomorrow.
