Hibernation

I've hibernated the past few days. The news from the doctor sort of shut me down. I needed quiet time to process the information and recover my equilibrium. Today I'll go by the doctor's office, and they'll draw blood for six different blood tests (CBC, SED, CMP, ANA, ANCA, and AntiGBM Antibody). And sometime this week or next, I'll have another CT scan (pelvis and abdomen with contrast). We'll get the results back from those, I'll go to the OKC doctor again, and we'll go from there, either a lung biopsy or treatment (if the blood tests reveal a recognizable disease). I have it mapped out in my mind so I'm good to go again.

I have been touched by the support shown by both my online and offline friends more than I can adequately express. You have gathered around me and lifted me up. I appreciate your words, your prayers, your concern, and your love. I'm not sure what's ahead, but I am not alone as long as I have God and all of you. Thank you for holding my hand figuratively and literally.

In good health news, yesterday I got my blood sugar below 100 for the first time in months. It was 97. I did it by limiting food, having only one soft drink, and walking. I'm trying for two days in a row now.

Time for work. I hope you have a great day. Talk to you soon.

I continue to keep you in my prayers--and I'm doing a lot of that lately, so we'll find out if I have any sway upstairs. ;)

I have had two friends go through biopsies in the last four months, each for a different type of cancer. Both of theirs came back negative. The questioning and worrying was the hardest part of it all. I suspect yours will go just as well. And, soon you will be just as overjoyed. :) God is good and he has His hands all over you.

Great. You sound like you are coping ok. I know you do that(sound ok) when you are still not, so just know prayers are not stopping, nor is the love. Let me know when you head to the city and maybe we can meet for lunch?

FF, I know you do. The prayers of a righteous woman availth much ... or something like that.

Michelle, I believe what you're saying is right. I think God has more for me to do down here, and with His guidance, help, and healing, I intend to accomplish it. :)

Roen, love ya. And I'll see about lunch although I don't know why that would go, depending on the news. I have a turtle response to things, you know.
