Rather than head to the garage as I had earlier planned, I cleaned house for Sidekick.

I should grab some meat to grill this afternoon as well. In the mood for smoked goodness.

I'm tired of waiting for daylight. I am going to get things done in the garage and to the car. Have enough to do to keep me busy until 5:00pm at least. Then, I can totally slack off on Sunday.

He was making it sound like the end of the world and suggested she might be bleeding internally. Then made a referral to a GI specialist.

The doctor doing the second opinion has, from what I understand from Sidekick's call, a very low opinion of the guy.

She went from 98 to 92 according to the tests. They just tested today and it's at 96.

Sidekick just called.

New doctor's opinion of prior doctor's diagnosis/concerns..

"Bullshit"

I think she's just a little iron deficient. Hoping that is all, anyway.

Her hemoglobin, according to some tests, dropped precipitously. He started going on about internal bleeding and some such and referred her to a GI specialist.

The test that showed the drop was not the in house one but an outside one they had done. Looked to be graded on a completely different scale.

No stool sample taken or anything of the sort.

She's going to a real doctor today.

Nervously waiting to find out if Sidekick will be admitted to the hospital or, if what we suspect is the case, she received and errant diagnosis from a PCP interested in making a referral.

If it's the latter, I will wind up in jail if I cross paths with him.

A weekend of gardening, working on a riding mower, bike riding and coding awaits.

Just have to get through "normal working hours"
