At the urging of my boss, I called Dr. L's office today to see if they could help me interpret my PET Scan results. The nurse read it the same I did as it was completely clean without any signs of aggressive growing tumors. Unfortunately, she was not able to answer any questions and could only offer for me to come in to see Dr. L sooner than May. I'm going to go with what we see and not worry about the rest. Yeah, maybe I have small cell growing (PET Scans only show fast growing tumors) but I'm not going to worry about that. I'm going to enjoy the rest of March and all of April and push cancer from my mind (short of watching for symptoms).
My eyebrow is still healing nicely. The scar is still pretty obvious and it is still bruised and swollen but I think it will continue to heal and eventually will disappear. I kind of laughed this week. Dr. S told me to put Neosporin on it each night. So faithfully I grabbed the tube and put it on. It just didn't seem to do much. It was Wednesday night before I realized I was putting Hydrocortisone cream on instead of Neosporin. What a dork. Not nearly as good as Gregg's toothpaste story (which makes me laugh out loud each time I think about it) but still humourous.
So I don't think I have another doctor's appointment until 4/11 and that is with my Neurologist. Won't she be surprised when I tell her what has been going on!!
So you ready for funny? Well it is self depreciating humor, which you know is part of my MO. So I got some new shoes online. I ordered the flattest shoes I could find with a back. I ordered some Aerosole "slides" with a peep toe. The heel is 3/4". I also ordered some strappy Naturalizers with a back strap. Those are about 1" total but the front is about 1/2" so it is about 1/2" lift at the heel. Well I thought I would bust them out this week because it is such nice weather...and I have my daring denim blue nail polish on my toes. So I put on the slides to wear to work Wednesday. I was walking around the house getting stuff ready and I was obviously walking cautiously which looked very funny. So I switched them out for the strappy sandals. Again, could barely walk around. There was no way I felt like I could wear them in the office. I was walking with my arms out and very clunky when I realized....this is how a baby giraffe walks when they are learning to walk! Not so graceful. It was pretty funny. So I dumped them off my feet and put on my old sandals and headed to the office. I'm going to keep working on it. Hopefully I'll be sporting my new shoes next time you see me...without the giraffe walk. You get the picture.
I am so glad it is Girl Scout cookie time because I did enjoy some cookies tonight! Because.....there is always room for cookies!! I hope everyone has a great weekend despite the weather. I know I will!
That is too funny about your shoes. Remember when we use to use a broom to hold on to when we learned how to roller skate? Maybe you could use a walking stick. Mom
ReplyDeleteOhhhh....I forgot all about the broom! I wonder if that is why I used a shovel this winter when walking on ice. A subliminal idea!! If I continue to feel uneasy, I will consider a stick (not a cane mind you!! Haha). There is a guy I see down on 2100 South and 1100 East selling fancy walking sticks. Hmmmm.
