DAVID'S PET SCAN NEGATIVE

Got a call from the next Dr. who will be doing 3 different scopes and an ultra sound on David's Esophagus tomorrow at 2:00. The PET Scan that he had on Tuesday did not show any abnormality so no cancer cells lit up on it. That is good news. If all is well, I guess I will schedule my laparoscopy. Not looking forward to it but would like to have the pain go away for good. David's Dad is not doing so well. He has bone cancer now. They are giving him radiation in his back to try and give him some pain relief. He has it in his neck also but that isn't bothering him.

TRIP TO ER

Went to the General Surgeon. Was feeling kind of sick. After she pushed around on my stomach, I really got sick and I threw up 3 times! I know "YUCK!". My BP was 185/113. I was hot and cold. Had to have a cold rag and laid down for a short time before I could leave. Anyway the surgeon had gone on by then. I am supposed to call for an appointment to have a laparoscopy done so she can see what's going on inside me. Don't know as I will do that until David's problem is taken care of. Anyway, the Surgeon's nurse thought I should call my family doctor so I did. They didn't call me back until Linda (she drove me) and I were half way home. He wanted me to go to an ER so we stopped at Paola's ER and after about 4 1/2 hours later, I was headed home just fine. Oh, another factor was that I had had chest pain and achiness and tingling down my left arm. (The tingling and achiness was probably from having my BP taken so much! Lol) I don't know. I could only think it was better safe than sorry. I didn't even call David or tell him til I got home. I am ok now so it's all fine. Thanks for all your concern.

EYE SPECIALIST APPOINTMENT

Well, one down two more to go. My eyes are in good shape according to the opthamologist. They dilated my eyes (which they still feel like there is pressure on my eyes. Have a headache actually. His diagnosis is that they are in good shape. I have some signs of cataracts starting but not bad yet. He suggested I get back with my optometrist to get the bifocal raised a bit.

Tomorrow I go to my General Surgeon about the pain I have in my left side that has been hurting me off and on for about 10 years now.

Next Wednesday David will see the Oncologist about his Esophagus. Hia apptmt is for2:15 but they told him to come in at 1:00 to get information and whatever taken care of. Sounds like it will be a long afternoon. This is just a consult visit they said.

Got to go. My head and eyes are hurting.
