SOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!


Good news! My mammogram was good this morning. Praise God!

My appointment was set for 9AM and I was told to be there at 8:30. I was and they called me back to registration right away. Computers were down and the check-in part was chaotic. I was dressed for tennis since I needed to be on the courts at 10AM and I thought "no problem". I was shown into the actual room for the mammogram by 9:10 which I was happy about. The technician did the mammogram and left me to go show them to the Radiologist and said she'd be right back. Sure. I waited. And waited. And then waited some more. I had visions of them going over the images and discussing changes. I was so nervous. Just being in the hospital, but especially in the very room where I was diagnosed less than a year ago, was so nerve wracking! Like the old saying..."My panties were definitely in a wad". I began to pray. I kept telling myself to not think negative thoughts. The doctor might be on the phone or in the bathroom, etc. and the technician was just waiting for him to read them. F-i-n-a-l-l-y, she returned to report everything is good. I left the room and hurried to the ladies room. My stomach was upset and has been ever since. This too shall pass. But, oh my, what a morning I had. I got to the tennis courts right on time, but I was shakey, I wasn't sure I'd play well. It ended up being the best thing I could do to take my mind off of the scare. Thanks everyone for your prayers for me this morning. It's so comforting to know prayers were being lifted for me.

Praise the Lord that your x-rays are clear. I knew how difficult it would be for you today so I prayed for strength for you. Playing tennis was the best thing to do to work out your stress.
Be blessed.

I know, I know...I still haven't scheduled it yet. I keep "meaning" to, but then I get busy and just forget about doing it. I should TAKE HEED to your voice of wisdom!
