Since
I have a lot of time on my hand I decided to tell about my situation now.
What
a trip. My son and daughter-in-law took me on a vacation to the Niagara Falls. I
had such a wonderful time except for one thing. On the third day I got sick, and
it wasn't sick of my son and daughter-in-law. Couldn't breathe real good. We
came home and after a couple of days of work I knew something was terribly
wrong.
I
went to my doctor where they sent me to all kinds of specialist, after putting
me on a nebulizer. The lung specialist did a cat scan where he informed me that
my lymph nodes were swollen, and there was a 90% chance of it being cancer.
After having a pet scan the doctor informed me it was 99% that it was cancer. I
had to wait almost 2 weeks to have surgery. The biopsy they took was on the
lymph nodes. They decide not to do the lung because the lymph node came out
benign.
So now in 3 months from my surgery I have to have a cat scan
and if the spot in my lung changed in any way then I will have to have the
biopsy. I definitely need your prayers.
So
now we have another problem. 15 years ago I had surgery on a hiatal hernia. They
put in what they called an angel chik. After doing some research on this
prosthesis I found out that it was taken off
the market a year after they put it in me. Plus, now this is good, 85 % of the
people that had this put in has had it removed. Hmmm now what predicament am I
in?! My doctor never heard of it but after checking out the sites I gave him
decided that it needs to be removed immediately. Now the problem we have now is
the surgeons here know nothing about the angel chik. We cant find a doctor that
will do it. Wonderful right. So now we are still searching and also waiting for
a call from IU Medical . More waiting games.
So I haven't worked for almost 4 months but I will say my customers are
wonderful. They have proved they haven't forgotten me by the many cards and
emails I got. I tell them all I will be back! You know I think I will!. |
