if i can convince myself that i haven't figured this out by the time i've run through these blood tests, i'll let them scope me - because i'll be out of options.
but, if i can convince myself that i've figured this out without needing the scope, i'll do that.
so, what i'm going to want to do is delay the scope. and, chances are that it won't be for a few weeks, at least, anyways.
it's a minimal risk, but i'm pretty risk adverse with my health. the chances that they're going to find anything are likely remote; if i rip my stomach out, i'll deserve a darwin award for it.
