Hey Brad,
Even if you end up not getting checked out for this
particular ache, it is stil a good idea to get some basic statistics
on yourself, like normal blood pressure, HDL, LDL, heart rate, weight
and so forth so that if something does eventually happen, the medical
community has something to base whatever your complaint is against
what your normal is. It's just kind of a good idea.
Also, I think that if your complaint is in the abdominal
area, they may resort to an MRI or CAT SCAN rather than an x ray, but
I"m not sure. I'll defer to Sandy on that one. You know, it could
just be something like gall stones. Greg has had both gall and
kidney stones and a lot of that can be controlled with diet and more
liquids. We are in the midst of the holiday season where it is hard
to eat a normal diet, so that could be a possibility. I still have
a hard time keeping Greg away from the cheese, but that's a whole
different problem. GRIN! Cheese is Greg's weakness and it is also
his major problem, but we're working on it. GRIN!
