Today I had appointments for a bone scan, MRI, CT scan, chest x-ray, EKG, blood work, mammogram, and pedicure (which technically wasn't a scheduled appointment but seemed like a nice, relaxing break on my way home).
Of course they are not allowed to tell me about any of the results, but I was able to see the bone scan as she was doing it and did not notice any places that jumped out as areas of concern.
I will get all of the official results when I meet with the oncologist next Friday, but the way I see it -- I did not receive any BAD news, and my toes look pretty, so it must have been a GOOD news kind of day.
I had a lot of time to think today; sitting inside a machine for 40 minutes unable to move was not altogether unenjoyable, I don't often get that long of a stretch to sit quietly and ponder. I have a lot to say about what I am going through (none of you who know me are shocked about this LOL), but for now I am headed to bed as it has been a very long day.
Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. I have enjoyed reading through them, it is comforting to know we have so many people standing behind us through this fight.
It's a sad indictment of our lives as mothers when we enjoy waits like those in MRI's. LOL. I know I never complain when I'm kept waiting at a doc's office. I rather enjoy the time to sit quietly and read.
ReplyDeleteI love you, we continue to pray for you... I am glad mom is there with you..
ReplyDeleteThought of you all day yesterday. I said quite a few prayers. Keeping those positive thoughts is so important and from reading your blog, you seem to be doing that. You are the only person I know that could go through all those tests and still be up for a pedicure on the way home. You, Jason and those precious grandbabies will be in my thoughts and prayers as always. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI don't think that day would have been complete WITHOUT the pedicure. Glad you thought to throw that in. :o)
ReplyDeleteYou are simply amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou should get a spa treatment every time you get poked or prodded. Loving and praying.
