I called my doctor this morning. He told me yesterday he was going to call the UAB to set up an appt. This doctor I found out will be doing the IPSS test, it is the test where
they have to go in a get a sampling of blood from the pituitary.
Catheters are inserted and threaded to the
petrosal sinuses. These sinuses lie along the internal aspect of the
skull base and drain blood from the pituitary gland. Serum ACTH samples
are drawn from the left and right pertrosal sinuses and peripheral vein. It is the test that if given the choice I would prefer to skip.. But if I understood right, this is the last step of the testing stage. After this test he said he would call to get me an appt with the surgeon. When he called me back. He asked, have they not called you? I said, No.. He told me that the office of the dr at the UAB is suppose to call me when they have my appt scheduled.. Unfortunately they didn't call today. So hopefully I will hear from them Monday..
What about this weather.. brrrrr Yesterday was warm enough for capris & flip flops, today it is freezing cold.. ahhh life in the south..
