Monday May 24th is now in my books for the worst Monday morning EVER! When I get done with this post, you will think my day sounded like a funny crazy country song. I can laugh about it now .... that is, because it is OVER.
I headed out to take Hunter and his friend to school, then I went to drop Henry off at my friend Kelsey's house. That part of the day went great, no problems, no worries!
Next I was off to my appointment for my results on my cancer scan. Oh yeah that dreaded morning. I even got a cute "positive" text from my friend Lauren to keep me going... I was pumped. No matter the result I was going to be o.k.... well, that is what I thought.
NOW, go ahead and get a visual of this. As I'm sitting in the lobby I look down and there is a piece of cabbage... oh yeah.... CABBAGE showing out of my bra. I have cabbage on my boobs because I had to ween Henry and dry up the milk. And in doing this process you have to leave the cabbage on for 24hrs... You can only imagine my thought as I'm trying to adjust my shirt and bra.... without drawing attention to myself. I had to put good smelling stuff on so that the doctor won't smell the cabbage. Nice huh!
THEN as I continue to sit there I realize my period JUST STARTED... oh nice! So I go to the bathroom and OF COURSE they call my name as I'm in the bathroom.. SOOOOO I do what any desperate girl does... I take half of the paper towel roll and put it in my pants...and I hope nobody notices me walking like I just rode a horse.
The doctor comes in and unfortunately gives me some bummer news! The cancer has gotten bigger and they suggest I do surgery. Apparently the cancer wanted to permanently live in my neck! We discuss some options and then I cried & cried & , cried... did I mention cried! Crying just seems to make it all better for the moment. As the doctor leaves to go call another doctor, here comes another positive text from Chelsey. It did take my mind off of it for a brief moment just long enough to text her and collect myself, you know remove the nose boogers from the crying that you DON"T want the doctor to see...
I tell ya I sure do have earthly angels taking care of me.
After leaving my appointment, I called my sweet Hubby and he was so bummed but very positive. We are grateful that the cancer hasn't spread to any other place. The lord has blessed us in that way and many other way's with AMAZING doctors. As of right now we don't' know anything else... waiting on the doctor's to contact us and let us know what is best for me.
I was grateful for the hugs, emails and sweet phone calls that my dear friends gave me.
It was a LONG day good and bad... with cabbage boobs (Victoria secret watch out... I got the new bra style), cancer results and a my "girlie time" starting (what a mess)... and I'm SO glad it is over.
Hello Tuesday!
