*Raises hand weakly* I'm ok!
I survived having a houseguest for a week! Maybe not very successfully, but I made it. Things were - hrmmm, tense, I guess would be the right word. Apparently my ex thought that there were going to be sexy fun times while he was down here and I - well, that was pretty much the last thing on my mind. He was rather put out when I told him he was sleeping on the couch, and from then on things were rather uncomfortable.
He wasn't horrible, or tried to do anything. But he was very - I don't know, passive aggressive? Taking verbal pot-shots at me, and although I'm pretty sure he was just teasing, having to deal with that for 5 days was pretty wearing.
We drove up to Seattle on Monday for my doctor appointment with the specialist, stayed the night in a hotel with twin beds, and then was told by the doctor that I had basically wasted my time going up.
I did, however, get an explanation of what was going on and why my stomach was hurting, which is a big relief. Apparently, in a small percentage of people, PTSD triggers something in the body and they become hyper-sensitive. They think this is what happened to me. So they told me the dose of meds I'm on is exactly what I need to be on, and that the pain will probably come and go for a bit longer until my body stops being so hyper-sensitive.
So, I'm not counting the trip a total loss.
And today is my Friday, so I just have to get through work and then I'm off for three days. Well, except for the CT scan tomorrow, which I am not thinking about because - Yuck!
I hope everyone is doing all right. Sorry I wasn't around last week, but I'm back. Take care, everyone, talk to you soon!

But glad the doctors can give you actual information. That's always nice.
