I Am GroovyVic and I Am Old

It's hell to realize I'm not immortal.

I went back to the doc this morning for a follow-up on that Prevacid I've been taking. Long story short, I have to go to a GI doctor and may possibly have to have another scope.

I had a scope done ten years ago which was how I was finally diagnosed with GERD and not dying of a heart attack. It wasn't fun, but then I remember little after they gave me the sleepy drug.

This is turning into a pain in the ass because it's yet another damn doctor I have to see...and did I mention the X-ray I have to get? Yeah, the doc felt a mass in my upper abdomen that really hurt when she pressed on it.

Dammit. First my boobs, now this.

Oh, yeah, I never mentioned it, but the doc found a lump about a month ago, for which I endured my first "pancake" test. That came out fine, but I was still in a blind panic throughout the holidays.

So now! Yes! I get to be X-rayed for another mass!

Will this madness ever stop?
