Time did tell...about being sick

So time did tell and after five days of things not really getting any better I finally decided to go to the doctor. Thank you for all of you who have sent me messages and been praying for me. After another rough night it was time to go to the stomach doctor, which I have found to be interesting here in Fresnillo for a couple reasons.

The doctor begins by asking me a couple questions about my experience thus far, including more detailed questions related to what I will say "the works." I can't say that I would ever want to be a "gastroenterologo" and know so many of the these details. After questions he took my blood pressure like most doctors and listened to my heart. However, I just don't understand how he gets to a final conclusion after the next step of the examination. You lay down on a table and he listens and feels your stomach--pushing on it in different places and asking questions. After this part is done he sits you up, you go to his desk and he types up the results including what medications if necessary. I would like to add that while he has a computer and a printer on his desk, he also has a typewriter, which he used to give me my prescription. There has to be a reason for using the typewriter instead of the computer/printer that I just am missing.

So, I left the doctor's office with three prescriptions today which I am really happy about because hopefully I will begin to see some changes. If you ask me what the problem is I can't really tell you. He didn't really tell me what it is. But that is okay, he is a doctor, right, and he gave me medication that is going to hopefully work wonders on whatever it is that is going on. He was a really nice doctor and I am sure that while this is my interpretation of the experience it really doesn't help that I can say very many medical terms in spanish.

Thank you again and again for your thoughtfulness and prayers!! My spirits are up already:)
