This week has been a little rough. I often hesitate to write about the small things that are happening in our family's world when I read people's blogs about serious problems. Life-threatening, gut-wrenching, down on your knees, flat on your face issues. I recognize that our needs are small.
Tomorrow I am heading over to have a "breast sono". I'm down with the lingo, let me tell ya. This hilarious lady that was scheduling my appointment said "Girl, you gotta call it the right thing! You're not having an ultrasound of your breast- you're having a 'breast sono'." So a breast sono I will have. After my last mammogram the doctor ordered an MRI because some abnormalities were seen. On the MRI 2 spots were found in my left breast close to my armpit. They're going to get a closer look tomorrow. I'm a bit worried about the appointment as they said it will last about an hour. I'm not sure I will be able to be still for an hour. I have a pinched nerve in my back that is causing pretty severe pain and crazy tingling and numbness in my right upper leg. It probably sounds like I am more worried about being in pain during the test than the actual test itself and/or the results of the test. I guess that's true. When I got the call telling me about the spots, or should I say abnormal findings on left breast at 2:00 position mid to posterior depth, I was pretty upset. And then I started thinking and praying. And I felt better. I see God's hand in my life in every way. Every day. And I trust Him. Thankfully, I feel very peaceful about this entire situation. I'm not saying that I have some pie-in-the-sky confidence that everything is fine. I just know that whatever happens, my life is in His hands.
My appointment is at 1:00 EST. If you think about it, please say a prayer for me.
Linda
I'll be praying for things to go well tomorrow and for good results.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all the test will not last an hour. The whole appt may but not the lying still. And it's not critical you lie still. But I thot the whole leg thing was tied to the yeast???? What's up with a pinched nerve? Are you getting care for that?
ReplyDeleteI've been praying and God is answering since you have peace. I will continue to pray especially from 11-12 my time. I love you and yes, God is in control. Aren't you thankful you can rest in that? What a great God we serve.
Donna- the yeast infection is gone. It's a pinched nerve- causing unbelievable pain in my right leg. My care is Hydrocodone right now. But as you can see- it is 2:30 a.m. and I am still up- can't sleep because the pain is so intense. It's fine as long as I'm moving around but as soon as I sit down or (especially) lay down it starts hurting. This too shall pass.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking about you and praying for you.
ReplyDeleteLinda - I'll be praying for your today and praying for normal breast sono results!
ReplyDeleteLinda my heart goes out to you. Do not feel like this isn't important compared to other people's blog posts. You have every right to feel nervous, and anxious about it. I like how you said you are trusting God and you have a peace about everything. He will never leave you nor forsake you. I looked in my bible to find some scripture that I thought might encourage you. I came up with Psalm 91. Just reading that chapter gave me some comfort. You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers today. God bless you as you go through the test today.
ReplyDeleteLinda,I hope everything turned out ok for you today.I had to have a breast sono a little over a year ago and it turned out it was just a cist,it sure was scary when they called me after my mammogram wanting me to come in for the sono though.Hope yours turns out to be nothing,too:)
ReplyDeleteHow did it go, Linda? I hope all went well. And I totally agree with Kim, "don't feel like this isn't important compared to other people's blog posts"--this is very important, and is a big occurrence in your life. Looking forward to your updates...
ReplyDeleteLinda, I hope it went well - and I agree with Kim and Becca. I'm also glad you have a great family and the on-line community behind you.
ReplyDeleteI read this after you had your appt. I still said a prayer for your peace of mind! This is a scary process. I went through something similar a few years ago. It's a scary thing to go through
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteI prayed for you yesterday. I hope you are doing well. Please keep us posted!
I hope everything went okay!
