The Bone Marrow Test Results

are normal!!!!!


Thank you God!

Thankful Thursday

Yesterday I went for the bone marrow biopsy and it wasn't painful. Today it's sore but the procedure went fine. I have an appointment to see him on May 4, 2011 for the results. It takes two weeks. Nitza stayed in the room with me while the did it and that was a huge comfort. Last night Ale insisted that I wear this bandaid:

And THAT made it all better.
Thank you so much to all the folks who have sent me good wishes.... I truly appreciate that.

I cannot exercise until tomorrow so I'm a little stir crazy.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend. I am excited to go up to my mom's house with Nitza and Ale. It's always so fun!!

I feel so truly thankful today for Nitza and her willingness to do anything so I feel relief and comfort. I feel thankful for Alejandro who always puts life right back into perspective seemingly just when I need it. I am thankful for my mom and Tom who answer the phone every time I call and who call me just to chat. I'm thankful for my treadmill and my beautiful home.

Worries and Worries and Worries, Oh My

Tomorrow morning I am going for my bone marrow biopsy and lymphatic tissue removal for testing. I am scared. I don't like to be scared... but I am. I have a highly recommended hematologist/oncologist and it will yield answers to questions we've asked ourselves over and over for the last number of months. I will definitely update tomorrow... Yesterday at a routine dental visit they found a spot on an x-ray that I have to go see an endontist about and then an oral surgeon... seriously... this stuff is kind of becoming comical if it didn't give me such a stomach ache. I've always been told that God doesn't give you more than you can handle, and I'm not certain that that's true, but I know that I have a solid network of friends and family that can help me handle whatever it is that gets thrown my way... that I know for sure. Nitza will be with me and that gives me such a warm sense of security... I feel safe when she is near.

I am supposed to have a PFT this week to see how the lungs are rolling. I have a cold, I know you are all surprised... and they just want to be sure nothing is growing...

I am looking forward to this weekend. Our trio is going to see my family for their annual easter egg hunt and it will be great for the little cousins to play and to see my sisters... I love my family!!

It's so nice to have a life with things to look forward to... waking each morning. There are some circumstances workwise in my life right now that are difficult to swallow, but I'm grateful... for what I have in my heart and for the person I am.

Until tomorrow...
