After the past few busy weekends I had a couple of doctors appointments for my annual full body physical. EKG, Chest xray, Bone Density, bloodwork, etc... After the first round of results came back, my sugar/A1C #'s came back great.... however, some of my other numbers did not. My vitamin D was low, way low. My EKG came back abnormal and my white blood count was too high. What!? I'm working so hard on the blood sugar #'s that this all threw me for a loop. So, re-did all those tests, and my white blood count was even higher. OK, do that one again. Not fun. When I read the results report, written across the report was "test for lymphoma, leukemia"... and some illegible other junk. WHAT?! You cannot think of anything else when you see those words. I went to the lab for the bloodtest on Thursday so I had the whole weekend to stew about this. Horrible, Horrible! I was a grumpy, grumpy momma.
While waiting I attended another shower. This time a wedding shower for my friend Kim. I'm taking pictures of all of Kim's wedding activities to make her a memory book. This gave me something to do as a little diversion in my mind. Kim did receive one piece of personal lingerie as a gift so she had to model!
So, Monday I go to work and wait. I carried my cell around with me all the time just in case the results came back.... My cell phone rarely rings at work, except for that Monday. I got calls all day long! None from the doctor. I was a mess.
Tuesday.... same thing. Wait, wait, answer my phone, not the doctor. Pull my hair out.
About 4:30 the nurse called with good news. All the numbers came back in range so I was ok. Whew.
Well, nearly. Now I have to go tomorrow and do a Cardiac Stress test.
Stressed. WHO ME?
