April Fools ... I wish!

On Friday, "A" and I sat around the house waiting for a phone call which never came. It is funny how I can become scared of a phone call. Since the CT Scan that occurred on Tuesday, I have been waiting for a call regarding the results. During the meeting with Dr. G, I found out that the bone scan x-ray was "generally good". That is, there were no indications that the monster moved to my bones around my hips or backbone. This, from what I understand, is where the cancer will go first, if it begins to move. This is not guaranteed, however, this is generally the progression. When I was at Dr. G's, he was kind enough to be proactive and call the radiologist to find out the results first hand. This is an awkward position. He is one the phone, talking about the results and "A" and I were trying understand the conversation, even though we could hear only one side of the story. At one point, they were discussing a "hot spot" in my left sinus area. "It doesn't usually mastitis there, does it?". "A" said she was going to faint when we heard this comment.

The question that I am waiting to hear the answer for is if the cancer moved to my head area. Gees I hope not. The funny thing is that my left eye has been "twitching" uncontrollably for a while. I think it has been doing this for quite a while, however, I am starting to think this has just started about a month ago. Can it be the twitching is related to the monster. Dr. G. indicated the "hot spot" can be the result of a sinus infection and I did have a bad sinus infection in January. I am hoping this is what is. But I have to wait for the results of the CT Scan.

The good news was I was able to expand the CT Scan to my head area. The original test was just for my abdomen area but Dr. G. made a couple of calls to make this happen. This was great.

On Friday, "A" and I waited for a phone call. We decided that if no phone came, we wouldn't sit and wait. We would make a trip to Ottawa as we originally planned in January. On April 5, out grandson Boh will be celebrating his first birthday. So we made the trip yesterday and arrived in Ottawa at midnight. It was a very good trip with Max and "A". We didn't say much ... we just kept each other company.

When I woke up today, I wondered if all this could be a April Fools joke. I wish it was.

I just finished a snooze and dreamt everything was OK. I guess it is. I just woke up to noise downstairs. W and J are having the official birthday party for Boh and they invited their friends to come over and recognize my grandson's first year of life. He is turning out to be a miracle kid. I will give him hug and kiss today and wish him a great first year birthday.
