This morning sharp at 8 am I called the doctor's office and left a message on their answering machine. The message basically informed them that I had the bone scan on Friday and kindly asked them to call me on my cell phone to let me know of the results.
At nine am the girls and I were at the Girls Scouts meeting - to find out what it is all about and if there were any troops accepting new Daisies or Brownies. I may actually end up being a Troop leader or preferably Assistant Leader, so we can have a troop at our elementary school.. We'll see, I need to contact a few people.
Then we had to go to the dentist for Ada. She has always had problems with her teeth - so I was worried. Especially since she is getting her 6 year molars and as they break skin, the pocket that forms over half of the tooth is a perfect place for bacteria to hide. So far so good, no cavities. The doctor encouraged us to pull her second wiggly tooth, so Dan will work on it tonight.
Then just as we were driving from the dentist to the girl's friends' house my phone rang. It was one of the nurses that works for my oncologist and she told me that the bone scan looked normal. Yaaay, yaaay, yaaay! I had been so worried. Over the whole weekend, I had several parts of my body ache and hurt. I found the spot that bothered me on my back, it is the corner of the scapula (shoulder blade) that faces the other scapula. So now that the bone scan looks normal I am relieved that it is just a muscle that tenses up even more as I worry about it.
I am so thankful and grateful for this wonderful result. Last week, Deniz asked me quite a few questions about the bone scan. They were specially bothered by the fact that we had to stay away from each other. She wondered why I was having the scan done, what would happen if the scan showed "something", etc. I tried to answer her questions correctly but did not want to talk about if the scan result was not good. We left it at, " we'll talk about it if it come to it", so I am so happy that we do not have to have that talk.
Well, tomorrow our semester starts. Thankfully I do not have any classes tomorrow, just need to meet with my research students. It will be short week with no labs. I am looking forward to the next semester but cannot deny that I really did enjoy this wonderful break.
Wishing everyone a great week!
