PRAYERS AND FINGER CROSSING NEEDED!

OKAY....Well, I did all of pre-op stuff this past Thursday, in preparation for my surgery, this coming Monday (3/16/09), and well, as usual, what I thought was gonna be a breeze, has turned into a potential nightmare.

I did a chest x-ray as part of my pre-op.  Last Friday, I recieve a call from Josette, telling me that  the x-ray that I had revealed a nodule in my lung.  So, that afternoon, I rush over to Baton Rouge Radiology to have a CT scan.  I went home this weekend and tried to NOT think about it.  I decided I would try to go to work yesterday and be somewhat productive, while I wait  for results.

The phone rings and I know that it is the doctor's office calling.  I am expecting her to say, "all is well and we are proceeding...see ya on Friday for your appointment with Dr Haussman."  Well, unfortunately, that is not even close.  Josette told me the CT scan that I did on Friday, shows that I have TWO nodules in my lungs.  Josette said they were decribed as  "soft tissue".  So she calls the Lake to see if they can fit me in today to have a P.E.T./CT scan,  so they can rule out things.  Dr. Haussman needs to make sure it is "nothing" before we can proceed with my bariatric surgery.  So I go home last night, and cannot look my family in the face and everyone at home thinks I  am  mad at  them, when in fact, I  am SCARED AS HELL!!!  I pretty much cried myself to sleep last night after reassuring my husband that I was NOT mad at him or my girls.  

So, now I am waiting.  It will be another day or two before I will have the results of today's tests.  Meanwhile my surgery hangs in the balance as well as my future.

I just wanted this all to be easier.  I  am emotionally drained and physically tired.  I don't want to  go to work and I don't want  to be at home. I have had enough!!!!

So, please, cross your fingers and toes, call your prayer line, say a novena, slaughter an animal...whatever you need to do....Just keep me in your thoughts!  It looks as though I am gonna need a miracle report from this test in order to proceed with my plans for my surgery on Monday.  Otherwise, I may find myself needing prayers for a whole different ballgame...

(((((Kim)))))  I will keep praying for you to have a positive outcome which will enable you to have your surgery as well as a long and healthy life. 

You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Keep us updated on this part of the journey.

Kim,
We will keep you and your family in out thoughts and prayers.
It is so nerve racking to have to wait on results!  I had a similar situation with a mamogram a few years back so I know how you feel. 

I do however have one small request.  Instead of slaughtering an animal, can I just look at one really mean???

Of course!!!  I would actually prefer that, but I always feel, to each his own...lol

Big Big Hug Kim!  I am praying for you even now.  You pray too!  God, Your will be done!  Amen!  Sometimes He is doing several things in and for us at one time.  Sounds like he's getting you ready to be a PATIENT.  Patience required!  Big Big HUG!  Nannyre P.S.  No animals were injured in the handling of this need ;o)

I got the results...The nodules were SOFT TISSUE! NO MORE WORRIES! THANK GOODNESS!

Thanks for all of your prayers and concerns!
