Tap # 2,234 - (not really)

I had a spinal tap today. It had been a little over two weeks so it felt like it was a long time since my last one. 

I get nervous and then I have to remember to turn my anxious thoughts over to God and then I calm down. 

I had to be there by noon and we were out of there by three or a little after. The cafe in the hospital has my favorite soup on Tuesdays so it's a little bonus for me. I've definitely had a soup fetish this spring!

Anyway, my spinal went well and I just have to say thanks to God! He's amazing!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. 

So Little Hair

Wanted to say a bit about my hair. It's coming back slowly and more gray. I'm not worried about the gray because as soon as it gets long enough I will dye it to the color I choose but I DO have a reverse Mohawk of sorts. It is growing more on the sides than down the middle of my head.

See what I mean?  :)

PET Scan

We went over to the doctor's appointment on Tuesday to get the results of my PET scan. The doctor said that everything looked good. The only thing that the PET scan doesn't look at is the brain so I will have an MRI in 6-7 weeks to see how everything is up there.

I will continue getting the spinal taps every two weeks until we get the results from the MRI. It would be so nice to shave a week off each time and only have to get the spinal every 3 weeks.

God is incredible, isn't he? We are all celebrating this good news! Let your feet do the happy dance if you agree!

Then shall your light break forth like dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Isaiah 58:8

We Must Be Up North

Shelby has a softball tournament today in Park Rapids today. Dan took her to school at 6:30 this morning to ride the bus with everyone else.

GUESS what? Is was snowing this morning. White covered the ground when I got up at 7. It's windy and not suppose to get above 50 degrees today. 

Shelby's team is winning their first game. She's playing 1st base right now. 

We're sitting in the truck right now trying to stay warm. Hopefully, it won't snow anymore today.  

Drugs

I've felt good this week and so I've been cleaning out a few cupboards here and there. Someone has apparently been on vacation for a long time and she needs to get off her bum and get organized.

Anyway, I just went through all the drugs I've been on in the past year and am ready to get rid of them. I put them all in a bag but some wouldn't fit. What a mess, huh? I'm so glad to be off of all of this! I only take my thyroid and vitamins daily now.

Fun in the Sun

Last week we still had some snow in the yard. It was nice one day and I decided to let the kids "have at it". Here are a few pics.

Update

Hi. I had my first spinal tap with a new doctor today. I got a call last week that my favorite doctor had to have some surgery herself and wouldn't be able to do the tap. The new doctor did a great job and I'm at home resting comfortably. Thank you for your prayers. God has been so good to me!

I had a PET scan on Monday and will get the results when I meet my doctor next week.
