October 28, 2013.. I started tests today. I got the round of blood tests drawn first thing this morning and then got the bone marrow biopsy that I had been dreading. I am always glad when they have gotten the bone marrow finished. I don't like that at all. It goes pretty smoothly until they do what they call "the pull" during the procedure.
Tomorrow the only test I have is the PET scan. It is at 2:30. I will not be able to eat anything from now until after the test is finished.
I found out last week the doctor I have been seeing since we started coming here is leaving to practice in Boston. I wish she were not leaving. We both really liked her and had confidence in what she told us. I thought it would be best to start seeing the doctor I will likely be seeing in the future so I scheduled my doctor visit Thursday with Dr. Zangari.
Jerry, thank you so much for doing this blog. It helps hearing from you and knowing you all are doing ok. You and Reta are in our prayers. We love you and look forward to having dinner with you both when you return. Hang in there....

Jerry and Reta, I'm so sorry I did not know you were having to make this journey. I've been busy with mom (have had to place her under the care of Hospice) and just lost contact with a lot of my friends including the two of you. So, I will be very interested in keeping up with your care and progress via this blog. Know that my prayers are with the two of you. Hugs and love to you both.
ReplyDeleteHi Jerry & Reta, We are glad your apartment is fine and that you are warmly welcomed and cared for by the church. We look forward to reading your blog each day. We pray that your test results will be encouraging and that your faith in your new doctor will grow rapidly. We think of you both often and wish you the best in the days ahead.
