Moving forward

We got a call yesterday for Phil's second opinion.
(I use the term "we" a lot because I feel like I'm going through this as well, I'm the messenger, the call taker, the schedule, the secretary, the note organizer).
Today I called to schedule an appointment.
With a second opinion, you only get one appointment, which you may or may not have to pay out of pocket for.
So Phil had a big decision to make. Get a new GI, stick with the old GI, or go in for one appointment with just a second opinion which may or may not bring the answers that are needed without further testing (remember, only one appointment for a second opinion).
Phil opted to get a new GI. Apparently these GI doctors are hard to come by. His current GI books several months out with his appointment, his referral was for a doctor who we couldn't get an appointment with until April. So I asked for first available, after the old GI signs off on his paper work.

So far, we haven't had to go to ER this week. WAHOO
Phil has really bad abdominal pain. The pain meds aren't even working right now. He spends most of the days in and out of sleep so he doesn't have to deal with the pain. Sometimes he moans in his sleep from the pain.
He describes it similar to passing a kidney stone.
His pee smells like ammonia (sure you wanted to know that, right?), his head hurts and throbs.
50% of the days this week he has been white as a sheet. One day he was sick to his stomach. He feels nauseous everyday.
His nose has been doing something crazy. It just starts leaking water. He can go to pick Ava up and there will be an entire puddle of "water" (clear liquid) from his nose dripping. The other day he looked up his nose. The nasal polyps are back.

He got blood work done Tuesday. I hope we get a call soon about the results.
I also hope we get a call soon to schedule with the new GI.
