Last Friday (6/12), I had to have another CT scan done, as I was still feeling the lower abdominal pain, this time on my right side. Sure enough, the left side had improved (there was still a little elevated level of bacteria), but the right side is a problem.
Observation: between the high heat and humidity of Saturday's 13-mile run (we ended up walking the last half), I think conditions were ripe (no pun intended) for aggravating the adenitis. By mile 10, I felt that vice grip creeping up, again.
This time, my doctor is ordering a colonoscopy, because she saw something else in the CT scan, and said that all I can do now is rest. She also admitted that she's probably wasting her breath telling me to rest, since I'm nearly constantly in training. However, I'm happy to take a week off! My trainer is a bit concerned about that, but, I'm not. If I have to walk the marathon that's coming up in a couple of weeks, by golly, I will, LOL!
My research tells me that I have heat disease. Good grief!
