A NEW DAY!

I'm grumpy...or maybe anxious is a better description.  I am on my way to get a biopsy on my throid.  I am not a nervous person, but this type of thing always makes me a bit cloudy.  On top of that, I am thinking about our family business.  We get along very well, but as in any family business, there are always hiccups.  I am trying to figure out how to deal with this one and really not finding a great solution.

Anyway, as I rise up on the freeway onramp to my doctors appointment, the most beautiful sunrise appeared over the trees of Sacramento.  A brilliant sun fronted by a few strung out, fluffy clouds.  God spoke to me.  It's a new day and a fresh start.

Get your fresh start going.  I think you meant Thyroid...not throid.  You must be nervous.  Anyway, my prayers are with you!

Thanks, my friends!  The biopsy was easier than I could have asked for and I will have the results, hopefully Friday.  I will keep you posted.

Hi to all of those who wished me good luck!  Here is what I know:

I called twice today and once yesterday to ask that the doctor let me know as soon as he has the results.  I did not hear back from him.  However, the receptionist was somewhat helpful. She said the results were in and when I said something to the affect of "I hope I will be happy when he returns my call", she said "you wil bel".  I am hoping that means that the biopsy showed the tyroids nodules to be nothing to worry about, but until I hear from the doctor, I am not assuming anything.  Having said that, I know that I am fine! Thanks again!

Paula - It sounds like all will be fine. I understand why the receptionist can't say anything, but still it's frustrating.  Just don't go nuts in your mind imaginging the worst.  When I had breast cancer, that was the amazing part - how my mind went to such dark places before I had the actual diagnosis (mine turned out to be completely treatable, but I still began choosing my husband's next wife!)

 

Will be thinking of you.
