I'm glad things went well for you at the hospital. -mist

> I went to hospital on Tuesday and felt ... let`s say *not too well*. Ok - I don´t know whether I mentioned it before, but my very first "hospital experience" was the worst thing ever happened in my life, so I expected the same horror to happen all over again. But it was completely different! I had a room just for me, my own bath room....unbelievable! When I had settled in, a doctor politely knocked on my door, asked how I felt and then we talked about 30 minutes! He examined the hurting area beneath my ribs, but doubted it was a hernia.
> They then made an X-Ray of my lung, blood tests and ultrasonic examination. All results were ok, so they decided to make a computer tomography the next day to make sure they would not miss anything.
> Result: intestine, pancreas, kidneys...all organs could hardly look better. Everything ok :o)
> The only odd thing is my liver. It looks pretty healthy but I have a bit *more* liver than other ones. Normally it is located at the right side of your chest, but mine reaches also the left side. They found it *intersting*, but it`s just a *variety*, nothing pathological. So - if anyone needs a bit liver... I have enough to share

> Hmmm... the only problem is, that this *whatever it is* still hurts. They are under the impression, it is most likely a nerve, perhaps irritated by a long forgotten damage of my rib. I will see a *pain specialist* in September...
> At least, it`s nothing serious, I don´t need an operation and am back home. :o)
