Betty,

A little bird just told me it is your turn for GOOD NEWS!

Sorry we can't take the worry away between now and Friday. . .hurry up and wait already!

You will be in our prayers, too.............

You will be in our prayers, too.............

for a clean bill of health all the way around. Please let us know how your appointments go. Sending hugs your way and prayers to the Big Guy upstairs.
 
One appointment down and one to go. This one was just as I expected. No changes in meds or treatment. Next echo in 6 months. My venous draw INR was 3.87 and my home protime unit was 3.7 about an hour later. I'm right in range (my target range 3.0-4.0 and accepted range 2.5-4.5). All in all, it was a good appointment. I'm still in sinus rhythm and it seems I'm not in the toxic range for my flecainide either :) .

I'm hoping that the Cat scan Friday has the briefest of reports...."NORMAL" would be music to my ears. I probably won't know the results until some time next week though. Maybe it is scar tissue from the Swan Ganz catheter? The dermatologist who ordered it said he couldn't tell if it was a lymph node or an inflammed salivary gland or both. Either way, he said it needed to be checked because of: 1. The history of S.C. lip cancer and
2. History of radiation treatments when I was 14
3. This he didn't mention..... but I think there is some CYA
factor here as well. :)

Thank you all so much for your concern and most of all your prayers.
 
CAT scan Friday usually means results the following Tuesday, unless your doctor is a real gem and gets it for you early. So, unless you say different, You'll be on my mental "watch list" at least until then.

Best wishes,
 
Hi Betty, glad your first appointment went well....now we'll concentrate on all kinds of positive energy for the second one! Good vibes flowing toward you!!

Best wishes

Hello Betty, I'm happy that 50% of your worries are behind you now, which makes it a bit easier to deal with the other half. I'll keep on praying! Take care and have faith in God! Good luck on Friday!

Me too, Betty!
You will probably want to go dancing when the strain of the wait is over. If you don't, I'll go dancing for you!
Still praying for you,

Hi Betty,
I couldn't get through to post prior to your first appointment, so I'm very glad to hear that went well. Will keep all my fingers and toes firmly crossed for your next appointment.
 
I've only got a minute but I wanted to let you all know that I just got the results of my neck cat scan.......it is NEGATIVE ! Thank you for all your caring and prayers. And last night the tornado skipped right over our house! Over-all it has been a very good week. :)
