Can we get good thoughts?

[themysteriouswife]

I know I have a lot of sick in my family. I'm just over it. Last week H spent the day in the ER. He has a 7mm kidney stone. While running test to figure out the pain, they ran a CT scan. (It did not present as kidney stone) In the CT they found a 13-17mm mass on his lung. He goes tomorrow for another CT and X-ray to get a better look. They want to do a more detailed focused scan. We should get the results sometime next week.

In the hustle and bustle of running around to get RXs and dinner, I was in a wreck. A girl was putting on lotion while driving and rear-ended me. I spent Monday night in the ER. It has been a week and I am not feeling much better. I am going to call tomorrow to schedule another appointment. I missed all of last week at work. I am under 90 days and had to go back today. I shouldn't have, but I don't have a choice.

This upcoming Friday H has surgery to remove some suspicious spots on his back and a cyst on his rib cage. We knew this was coming. It has been scheduled for a while.

A few weeks ago, Allie had a nasty fall and busted her knee open. We had to carry in too. This is after wearing an ankle brace for a little over two weeks due to a bad sprain. She just fell over at the park.

Just send whatever you can our way. We need it.

Other than the medical woes, we are doing fine. Allie is going to be 7 next month. Shockingly, I am not doing a big family party! We are doing a small school friends party in Sep. It is refreshing to not stress over party planning.

Oh no! You guys are really having a tough time. I'm so sorry. Please do what you can to rest and take care of yourself. I will send all my good thoughts your way. I'm wishing the best for all of you.

And the wait begins 3-4 days before he gets results.

[themysteriouswife]

Fuck. His PCP called. He is recommending an appointment with a specialist ASAP. Dr. is going to attempt to get him in tomorrow or Thur. I'm trying so damn hard to keep it together.

And my aunt died today of lung cancer. I hate having a large family. People keep dying.

::hugs and love::

I'm so sorry for your loss. Hopefully they have found what's wrong with your husband early and treatment will be easier.

[themysteriouswife]

The doctor would not talk about it at all. That terrified me. His doctor is typically very open.

Shit. I hope you get some answers soon.

[Kristinmo]

Oh honey. I will keep you in my thoughts. Keep us updated. 

[gogadgetgo]

Lots and lots of good thoughts to you guys (((MW)))

[themysteriouswife]

I'm laying in bed trying to figure all of this out. Every little cough he has had in the last few months, I am replaying in my head. Just last month he started complaining about how hard it was to breathe while exercising or walking stairs. I asked him to go get checked out. He said he would if it got worse.
I have cried all night. I keep telling him it's over my aunt. Deep down he knows I'm scared shitless. He smoked for 5-6 years. His parents and grandparents, our friends, our extended family all smoke. Unfortunately, it is a way of life where we grew up. I come from a family of tobacco farmers.

I'm getting so worked up, I bet it's nothing. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

[themysteriouswife]

3:15 EST today. I'm going to be worthless at work

[kelle017]

Oh no!
I'm sending you guys prayers.

[gogadgetgo]

Lots of good vibes being sent to you. Let us know of you need anything. (((MW)))

[bugandbibs]

I'm here, anything you need.

[themysteriouswife]

You know what I need? A pedicure. I know this is a stupid rant at the moment. That stupid idiot who hit me screwed up my week. I didn't get a chance to go get one. This week I am too busy playing catch up at work and running to doctor appointments.

And I got the police report. She was putting on lotion while driving. It spilled down her leg causing her foot to slip. O_ o

What?! Why, can't people just focus on actually driving when they are in a car?

Dude, if you were here I'd take you for a pedicure. I'm thinking of your family and sending good thoughts.

[gogadgetgo]

Lotion? Ugh. People suck

[themysteriouswife]

Still no solid answers. The doctor said it's a 50/50 chance it's nothing. They seem to think it is a hamratoma. Only his doesn't have the boney matter to be certain. He has to do a PET scan in Sep. They want to see if it grows between now and then. They could do a biopsy, but it still isn't a 100% answer.

I feel more lost now.

[gogadgetgo]

I was so hoping you'd have an answer today. It's ok to feel lost. (((MW)))

[bugandbibs]

Ugh. Being in limbo sucks. I'm sorry

[Kristinmo]

Grrrrr...... I was hoping you would get answers. Sorry!

[kelle017]

That stinks. I'm sorry. I was hoping you'd have answers too.

[themysteriouswife]

Poor Allie and her FWP. She told me her summer wasn't fun. She hasn't been able to swim due to her knee and we have spent all her free time at the doctors office or at home. She did go with my brother, but it was during the open wound issue. They couldn't do much. I think we may go swim tomorrow, since her knee is closed.

Any cheap or free suggestions?

And thanks for the love and listening.

Do you guys have summer movie deals? Here the movie theaters show kids movies at 10 am for $1. They aren't new releases, but it's lots of fun.

How about events at your library? During the summer ours has special events once a week. Last week there was a magic show my girls loved.

What about a treasure hunt? You could make a series of clues that lead to a prize at the end like a new book or a basket of bubbles and chalk.

J really likes visiting the animal shelter. She could visit with the cats all day.

Not cheap, but you guys could go get your pedicure.

[bugandbibs]

Dup

[themysteriouswife]

Hell no. Pedicures are my only saving grace. I don't share. Lol I take her the day before school starts.

Thanks for the ideas. I'm looking up the dollar theater now.

[themysteriouswife]

Rio 2 it is! I'm not sure why I didn't think of the movies.

[themysteriouswife]

Another update. The cyst of concern ruptured earlier this week. The dermatologist said she didn't want to bother it. Surgery turned into a mole being shaved. The PET scan should show abnormalities in Sep.

[themysteriouswife]

Another H update. He saw the urology doctor today. His kidney stone is no longer in position for a blast. He had to pass that big boy. 7mm by 5.5 mm. A normal stone is under 3mm. O _o

Today at work a display broke cracking me in the face. I'm a lovely shade of bruised. My right eye looks the worst, but my left is slowly catching up.
