My friend Sandie Dixon wrote a revealing blog about going to the hospital to see if your cancer is still gone..... Fear, Anxiety, Worry, Amazement, Relief, Joy...
That was my day at the Hospital again today.. A CAT scan with all of its big jugs of iodine solution.. Drink up !! Then lay on the table and ride thru the machine.. Breathe........ Now hold your breath.......
Then you wait in the tiny exam room for the Doctors to read the scan... Now completely alone with your scary thoughts.. The first time I've had to face this alone...
Well when they had me almost in tears with anxiety, they came in and said I was clean..
Oh, on the spider bite front, its not a spider bite any more.. Its MRSA the flesh eating bacteria... Yesterday I had the in office lancing.. They then packed the wound with a packing... It drained all day yesterday...
The packing needs changed again tomorrow.... It takes about 45 minutes to get to the hospital ... each way.. I will have been there three out of the last five days..

ReplyDeleteWhat a sigh of relief you must have felt when you got the results of your scan. Sorry to hear about the MRSA - once you have it in your system it seems to come and go, Good luck with everything.
