I apologize for not blogging sooner, but I just haven't had the energy and didn't think I had anything interesting to say, so, here goes...
I went in Wednesday to get my blood tested for the treatment on Thursday. When I got there yesterday I told the ladies that I thought I had another Urinary Tract Infection. They looked at the numbers on my blood test and agreed. My appointment was 9 am, so we were sure we would be out of there by 11:30---wrong!
This time when they paged the doctor he called right back and said to give me another hour's worth of anti-biotic. They did. I was finished at 11:20. Hurray! When he called into the cancer center to see what they wanted, he told them to tell me to wait right there that he would be in to see me.
Well, he didn't get in there until nearly 4 pm. You talk about tiring! The good thing is that there were two families that I have grown up with at church. We have all been married 29 years, our mom's all died 20 years ago...lots in common. While that certainly isn't an ideal situation, because that means everyone has something seriously wrong with them, it was great to spend time with them...ok, not that much time. Even that long got really boring! Actually, one of my friends was getting her blood tested because her blood is so low...I haven't been able to get in touch with her since we left, so I don't know what her results were.
I guess I don't understand all of the time we had to spend there. Usually people in the Cancer Center are sick and surely don't feel like waiting that long. Thank God he is a good doctor!
Anyway, we he FINALLY got there, he read the blood test reports and didn't seem to think that the blood levels were high enough for this to be an infection. He wanted me to go see a
Uro-gynecologist. I called that doctor and can't get in until September 4th. What a long time to keep hurting. I am going to see if Am's doctors have one of those Specialist in their office. Well, Am checked with her doctor and they recommended the same doctor that my doctor did. She said they told her he is phenomenol.
The doctor also took me off of all medications until we can find out what is going on. No more Erbitux either.
Thank you all for your continued prayers. BY HIS STRIPES!!!!

What a long and tiring day! My heart goes out to you.
Boy, that's really a long time to wait to see the Uro/Gyn...I hope you can get in sooner. Seems like you are in a test pattern of waiting - but, as usual I'm going to the Great Physician on your behalf and moving you to the front of the line....
By the way, in regard to your blog title, I have been wondering! I love you and pray for you daily.
Thanks for the update. You are constantly on my heart and in my prayers!
Waiting that long is exhausting!!
You have been on my heart all week, am so glad to see your blog today.
Praying! Praying! Praying!
Lots of love.
Pat, kaymac and trish, thank you all so much for your faithfulness to pray for me. This entire thing has been exhausting but I will get t-h-r-o-u-g-h it! God is the Healer and yes, the Great Physician too.
Oh shush, you got a new car today. That is rejuvinating! You can't be tired now! You have to drive all over the place to make sure you like the thing! If you don't I liked it just fine. I'll be glad to trade my bigger truck (kids included) for your Edge and some quiet driving time! Just kidding, did you call your Dr. to see if he can get you in sooner???
My, what long wait. Did you get something to eat. In India you give your blood sample in the morning, go home and get your report in the evening and get an appointment with the doc the next day. Its longer but you don 't have to wait at the hospital.
Pray your infection doesn 't cause hurt and your appointment comes out OK
