Where to start? Perhaps with the best first. The CT scan came back. It looks like I probably don't have lung cancer. Praise God for that. They can't be sure, so they will take another CT scan in three months. But right now they are leaning towards no cancer, because there was no growth in what they were looking at.
Thanks for all the emails of concern, asking about John and me. And so sorry I didn't reply to all of you sooner. It has been so hectic and I have just been trying to keep up with things at home, and doctor's appointments. John still has bronchitis and the flu. He went back to the Physician's Assistant today, because he still has been running fever's all week. This has been for a week and a half now that he has been sick. The Physician's Assistant ordered him some more antibiotics. We found out that the antibiotic was contraindicated with another med and he can't take it anyway. Hopefully this matter will get straightened out by tomorrow night when John is supposed to start a new antibiotic.
John has a follow up appointment on Monday, hopefully he will be substantially better by then. I don't know. His fever just spiked again a few minutes ago.
Okay, so what's going on with me? I've been running around trying to do a lot, LOL. I am so behind on chores, errands, etc.
And my shoulder and arm have been killing me. I have been going to Occupational Therapy and working really hard. I was given an extra week by my Orthopedic doctor to get my shoulder/arm in shape, to try to avoid surgery. But I don't think I will be successful in avoiding surgery. I have made tremendous progress, yes, but don't see how I can avoid having the surgery. This is not a bad attitude, it is just a fact. Maybe I am wrong. We will see. I am working SO hard. I am slightly discouraged I guess. I let the therapist stretch my arm until I am in severe pain every time I go to Occupational Therapy. She does it for maybe 20 minutes. Sometimes I scream a little bit while she does it, and say "you HAVE to stop now". Then she stops. Sometimes, LOL. Sometimes she waits a few more seconds before she stops. Ugh.
So we will see what happens in the next few weeks. I don't know what the recovery time is for that surgery, but I just don't have the time to have an operation right now.
So that's about it. I haven't had time to have fun. I would watch a movie tonight just for fun, but I keep having these narcolepsy fits. As a matter of fact, I started writing this entry well over two hours ago and am just finishing it now, because I keep falling asleep. I can't stand this Narcolepsy.
Okay, I guess that's it for now. Sorry I don't sound real positive tonight. I'm mainly just tired. And I am trying to get off this entry. My narcolepsy is so bad tonight that I keep falling asleep and this entry has taken me over 2 hours to write, maybe three. I hope I have not made a bunch of errors in this entry, LOL, I am too tired to go back and read.
Okay,so that is me. I really am fine, though. Just tired. If I could just get past this narcolepsy...
Love you all, Krissy :)

THANK YOU GOD!!!!! John is in my thoughts,,,poor guy. I hope your shoulder gts better, surgery defintly needs to try and be the last resort <sigh> so lets stay positive as we can :) I know how frustrating it can be. And if you need surgery I have heard much sucess with those types so even if that happens we are gonna keep our chin up girl :)
Hugs & Love

Glad to hear that the CT scan news is good.
You need a rest, you have so much going on, its bad enough trying to cope with ones own problems phyically but when you have to look after others too it becomes taxing and takes its toll on us.
