• Getting it checked out

  Well, I have a busy week coming up.  I told the head of the clinic where I work what was going on, because I'm going to have to miss quite a bit of work this coming week.  She was very supportive and caring.    "Your patients will just have to understand.  Your health has to come first."  

  Monday, I have the Cat scans in the afternoon.  Tuesday I see the allergist about my antibiotic allergies, Wednesday, John and I will meet with the Hematological Oncologist  (that scared the dickins out of me!) Then Friday I'll see the surgeon to see if I need a needle biopsy of my lymph nodes. 

  John hates dealing with this kind of stuff.  If it was possible, he'd have me handle all the boys' medical appointments, but for this, he agreed to go with me.  I told him I needed him, and he said, "You always need me." 

  This is true!  I do need him, but I know how I get when I get as stressed out as I am right now.  I don't know how much I'll be able to take in from the doctor on Wednesday.  John keeps telling me not to worry, he's sure it's just an infection, and if I'd exercise more, I'd be healthier.  (Yes, he's still alive and uninjured.) 

  I love seeing how God answers prayers.  I had asked for prayer at church last Sunday -- specifically that the doctors would find out what's wrong quickly.  The surgeon's office said they were booking appointments in April, the CAT scan wasn't supposed to be available until then either.  Yet, I have both appointments next week.  Divine intervention indeed!!
