Greetings from the hospital! As you may have guessed this stomach pain has not subsided. After i finished my third round of pills the pain came back. I went to see the doctor who gave me more pills. Additionally Polina's dad who is a doctor was in town visiting. He paid me a special visit and was very thourough. His prognosis was that if the hospital origingally didnt find anything in the blood or urine that it should clear itself out. If no success in 3-4 days go back to the hospital. As you may have been able to guess, it didnt go away and the pills are no longer as effective as they once were.
One would think that going to a hospital that was operational in Chinese would be a nightmare. To be honest its really not that bad. The doctors and even nurses speak English fairly well, and the receptionests/other people who work here are very friendly in helping me find my way around to the various places i have to go for testing.
To top it off i had an ultrasound of my kidneys, a blood test, an x ray, and a urine test done with results given to me within an hour. I didnt even have time to figure out the Sudoku puzzle i brought with me.
The prognoses in the kidney was good. No problems there. But the blood test showed a high white cell count which means there is probably some infection going on somewhere. I am currently waiting for a gastrologist to check me out. He starts in 10 minutes and I am number 22 in line. Hopefully he can figure out whats wrong with me so I can get back to work and get on with my life. At least ill have more than enough time to figure out this sudoku puzzle. Hopefully an update with a good bill of health is on the way soon
