Doctor Doctor... give me the news!!!

Oct.26th I went to see Dr. Patel... The Liver Doctor.... After asking a list of recent popular questions.... Do you do drugs?... Drink alcohol?...Smoke Cigarettes?...How many tattoos?.... Piercings?....Medications?....Blah Blah Blah, Susan(his nurse) and I got acquainted....Dr. Patel and an Intern came in, they were really nice. He asked all the questions over again. I'm getting used to this and I know it is all for a good reason. Dr. Patel and I chatted for a little while. I asked him all kinds of questions about the future and if I did continue with the Donation of my Kidney would it have any effects on my liver and tons of other questions.  Basically, he thinks everything is ok and all will work out just fine. Not alarmed at any of the lab results from earlier lab test. Exercise and Proper Diet is the key to a Healthy body. Simple as that. Dr. Patel decided to send me over to the lab and get some  liver specific lab work. He( Well, a Lady also named Susan- She makes the third Susan of this whole process) scheduled a liver ultrasound for the next week(Today-Nov.2nd) So as of this moment I am beginning to fast for my 3:30 appointment. This will be the toughest part of my day.... NOT EATING!!! :-/ I don't usually go too long without eating. So wish me luck on that. Up next, Tues I meet with Dr. Wise for the psychological evaluation. Until then God Bless!
