Ok everyone... I hate to complain but I'm just feeling fed up and OLD!
For the last 10 days, every other day I have gotten a call from my doctor. First I went to see her and she said I shrunk almost 2 inches. I'm short anyway and can't afford to lose height! So I had a bunch of tests done. A spine X-ray (bad back pain for 8 months), a CT and a brain scan (because I had a tiny stroke last year and have been having headaches and dizziness again.) So one day she calls and says she got my CT back and I have a big ole cyst on one of my ovaries. Then 2-3 days later she calls and says my spine x-ray is back and I have degenerative osteo arthritis and my disks are closing in. That's why I got shorter and have terrible back pain. Thank god I had SOME good news. A few days later she calls and says the brain scan looks better then last year and there is no evidence of new stroke.
With all this AND my husband taking a hike it's just a little too much. And I don't really have any family close by that I feel I can talk to. I really miss Emily too (my daughter who's on a mission).
I'm just grateful I have this site to occupy me in much of my free time! But if you could keep me in your prayers, thoughts (or whatever you believe in!) I would SOOOO appreciate it! I'm only 44 (going on 26) and not ready to start feeling like an old lady.
