Real Life Scary Things

This will probably be my last post until Friday night or Saturday morning.  Tomorrow we head down to Virginia Mason and I don't know if the hotel has Wifi or not.  Or a pool.  It doesn't say anything about either on the entire website.  Ch. 30 of LoF is at 2475 words and I will probably write on the car ride down to Seattle as a way of distracting myself.  I hope to finish this chapter as well as the next one of You're What?

I don't mind admitting that I'm scared.  I've dealt with so many medical issues over the past eight years and I just don't know what to expect right now.  I don't know what they will find.  I have been tumor free for five years and I keep my fingers crossed that I shall continue to be so.  I hope that the scar tissue will not be a problem for any of the tests they will be running.  I hope they can fix me, because I really can't see living the rest of my life this way.  The worst thing for me is if they say that nothing can be done surgically because if they do, it will mean living this way for several more decades and I'm not sure I can handle that.  The last time things got bad I almost lost a kidney and I did lose my gall bladder and appendix.

Anyway, my appointment is at 9:30 Friday morning.  Please pray for me, cross your fingers, send out vibes, whatever.  I want to get through this and be okay again.  Oh, yeah, and if you don't mind, ask that I don't have an allergic reaction to the contrast dye as well.  Because I don't need that on top of everything else.

*takes deep breath*  I can do this.

You will have my thoughts and prayers, dear. You deserve good news!!!! *hugs*

*hugs tightly* You've definitely got good thoughts and prayers coming from me. Here's hoping that things go very smoothly and allergic-reaction free (my mom and I both have to worry about things like that, too, so I totally understand that concern). Hopefully you'll get the best possible results ASAP and this can be yet another bump in the road that's soon disappearing behind you in your rear view mirror. ;)

Take care and let us know how you're doing whenever you're able. *more hugs* ♥♥♥

I haven't been following you too long, so I had no idea you were dealing with all of this! I'm so sorry. I'm praying that things go as smoothly as they possibly can. *hugs*

I hope the appointment is a complete triumph for you and modern medicine. You have every right to be scared, but it's good to see you're being strong while you're scared.

You're in thoughts and hopes and wishes and prayers here on the other side of the country. Here's to the very very best news you can possibly get.

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning. Good luck! And NO ALLERGIC REACTIONS? Got that? Good. :-)

Sending you good thoughts!!!!!

I've been a huge fan of your writing for a while, but only recently found my way to your LJ to keep track of updates. I couldn't read this and not comment, however.

The waiting game is the worst aspect of all that. I'm a doer and a fixer; show me a problem I can *do* something about. Waiting is interminable.

You're in my thoughts and prayers. I hope the results are good and that you have no allergic reactions to anything!

Oh, fingers and...well, okay, crossing my toes on one foot (the other foot kind of hurts my ankle) but I'm sure I've got TONS of hairs crossed!!!! I'll be thinking of you while I'm in the MRI for my ankle. I thankfully have no special prep for mine.
