    My Dr. Appointment

    I'm posting this here since this is where I know everyone. I went to a Pulmonary Specialist today and wasn’t real thrilled when I left. She basically said she doesn’t think I’m dealing with pneumonia. There’s still an area on my lung that they want a clearer picture of what it is so I will be having a cat scan (no puns here). There were a few things she threw out the will be testing me for.

    And of course ruling out anything cancerous. I’m sure all tests will come back just fine but it’s nerve wracking until you hear so.

    Since I’m in the cat section I will also mention Avon is at the vet today. For many weeks now she keeps vomiting and we noticed she seems a bit thinner. I will post her results here when I hear from the vet.

    Just wanted to update you all..thanks for listening.

    The waiting time is always the toughest to cope with, I think. You know it's something, just not what.

    Wishing you all the best for findings that are easiest to handle and heal.

    I've been thinking about you and wondering when you would see the specialist. When is the cat scan? Soon I should think since you are being referred by a specialist. Many positive thoughts being sent your way that the scan shows what is really wrong with you and that it's something that can be dealt with quickly and completely. I hate it when my body gets sick, I feel so out of control of things. Please try to think of this as one more step towards getting well.

    Is your husband managing to cope with all the park cats and your own? Do you have any volunteers? Did you ever see the cat with damaged front legs again?

    Thanks so much for asking. I’m a little scared here. I went in Friday for the cat scan, and they had me scheduled for 5/15 for the ultra sound. I got a call yesterday morning, which I thought it would be middle to end of week before I heard, from the Dr. to schedule a consultation. Then they noticed my ultra sound appointment and said they would call me right back. 5 minutes later she said to be at the place today at 2:00 p.m. and then they want a consultation with me when they get these results. All the rushing here has me a bit concerned. I’m still in hopes it is nothing and they are being precautionary here. I will update you all as soon as I hear. Again thank you!

    Lisa, just get the test today at 2 over with. At this point, you should be hearing results from the doctor before the end of this week. So the wait is coming to a close. Thinking of you and praying for good test results and a fast reply from the doctors.

    My cat scan has shown there is definitely something on my lung, but still don't know for sure what it is. I will be going for more testing for breathing, sleeping, and another cat scan in a couple months to see if there are any changes in the area. They said I do not have full capacity of my lung so an extensive breathing test in the hospital is ordered. So, looks like the wait is still on.

    Gosh, Lisa, how scary!

    Seems like if there is "something on your lung" that they'd want to find out what it is....?

    Sure hope the rest of the tests help you find a solution and that it's nothing really serious.

    I would hope that if they suspected the nasty C word that they would have you in in an instant! So maybe waiting is a good sign.

    Lisa - I am sorry - but when you said they found something on your lung, I was thinking "HAIRBALL". Sorry, I just went warped!

    Hope you could get a smile from that anyway....
