This week I have two medical appointments. One is a long-scheduled cardiac check-up that I expect to go alright. It is one of those 5 minute appointments that the wait at the secretary's desk is what takes the longest. I have no echo scheduled and no real new problems. I have some continued shortness of breath but I think it is getting a little better. I hope to have my pro-time done so I can check it against my own machine.

However, on Friday I have an appointment for a CT of my neck. Earlier this year I had lip cancer, Moh's surgery, and then topical chemo-therapy. I have had a neck node that has been under observation. I am really hoping that this will not turn up anthing and hopefully I can forget about it for good. I have to admit though that I am somewhat anxious although I know God will give me strength to deal with anything that turns up. ( I would rather opt out of this one though...if you know what I mean ;) . Anyway, it is probably nothing, but if you remember, please pray. Thanks
 
Hey Betty,
I am sure you do just fine on your Cardiac checkup. ;)
I hope everything turns out OK for you on your other appointment.
Looking forward to seeing you and Tom again in Oct.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Take Care
 
Sometimes it seems like a conspiracy, like there's always some darned thing going on. I think when they get good patients, they're just reluctant to give them up, and pass them on to their doctor friends instead.

I will be thinking of you this week, and of your concerns and worries. I am hoping that things come out well for you, and they will have to leave you alone for a while. Waiting is still the worst part, and you've had to do enough of that for a while.

Keep distracted, be well: you're in our hearts.

Very best wishes,
 
Hmm, someone undeleted their post. Good choice. I wondered why you deleted it to start with.

You know you have me riding on your back whereever you go with prayers in hand! :)
 
Betty,
I am hoping for the best for you. I will be thinking of you. Bob is right. They hold on to good people. Just hang in there.
My love,
Bess
 
You'll be just fine!

You'll be just fine!

Hi Betty, I always pray for all of you, but I'll say a special prayer for you and Yaps for her house seems to have been completely destroyed by the hurricane. I know how you must be feeling and hope you'll soon post here saying it's all over and you're doing great! Try to remain calm!

Hi Betty,

You have come a very long way. Everything will be work out for you I am certain. Your shortness of breath is probably nothing more than anxiety. I live that scenario from time to time. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Try to relax. Take care.
 
Betty,

Here's hoping that you get these 2 appointments behind you and get a break in the action for awhile to enjoy the beautiful fall weather in NC (knock on wood :D). There was definitely a hint of autumn in the air today!
 
Think positive!

Think positive!

Think positive, Betty! :) I'm sending you tons of positive vibes. I just know you will be okey dokey. :)
 
Hi Betty,

I'll be sending positive thoughts your way and will be hoping the Karma Fairy gets it right and brings you good news for both your appointments.

All the best
Anna : )
 
Betty,

Just know that we're adding our positive thoughts to the top of the pile... :)
