Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
They have found something on my lastest breast ultrasound and I am going for a cone biopsy this coming Sunday. I'd appreciate prayers that all will turn out to be okay.
I appreciate the personal attention. The nurse understood that I lost track of scheduling my visit due to my recent loss of my mom and my husband’s health issues. It’s lovely to see people who have compassion. My doctor has gone above and beyond in caring for her patients.
I wish all doctors were as caring. She’s young, up on all new treatments, doesn’t overbook her appointments, caring but professional. My old doctor who was ready to retire became less interested in medicine. He scaled back his hours so much that it was hard to get an appointment. He hated having to keep records electronically and never failed to mention how he didn’t like ‘new’ changes. Honestly, if he hadn’t retired, I would have found a new doctor anyway.
When I selected my new doctor, I purposely chose a younger doctor who had wonderful training.
That is so very young to lose your father. I am so very sorry.
Hubby is still feeling badly. Hopefully, the stone will pass soon.
I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. That’s awful. I understand how horribly you feel for your aunt too. Every parent wants to die before their children.
Our bodies are fascinating. I admire nurses, doctors and others in the medical field. I can’t even imagine doing certain professions in medicine, in particular, a brain or heart surgeon. In my opinion, they earn every penny they make.
My cousin is a nurse anesthetist and she makes a good salary. She always says that she does most of the work with patients but the anesthesiologist makes a huge salary.
My Dad passed away from pancreatic cancer when I was four years old. My mom told me that the doctors said his body was riddled with cancer already by the time it was found. Mind you this was in the 1960's. It's sad that it is still so hard to diagnose until it is too late in most cases.
I don't handle pain well. Pap smears are always extremely painful for me for some reason. I even fainted during one once. Don't even talk to me about dentists. Arghh! I go to a dentist now that uses sedation otherwise I'll have a panic attack.
Yes, my daughter has had to have the larger stones that wouldn’t pass broken up. Hopefully, it won’t be an issue for him to pass. When they measured the stone it wasn’t very large. My husband said to me, “How can a little stone cause so much pain. He’s not a wuss like me. He can tolerate most pain but he says that the pain from kidney stones is pretty bad.
What causes these stones? My daughter has had them several times. This is the second go round for my husband. He had them not long ago. Does diet have anything to do with it? It’s supposed to be a calcium buildup. I guess I am wondering if they can be prevented somehow or is it a random experience?

Geeeeez, I suppose that I don’t do well in these situations. I tell myself not to freak out but I usually do. My best friend is the opposite. She remains calm in a crisis, then it hits her later. Me, I start freaking out immediately! Then I got upset because the traffic on Napoleon Ave. was awful. Parking was fine because the hospital has a garage.
Anyway, it was kidney stones. So, they gave him fluids in an IV and pain meds. Hopefully, will pass them soon.
My oldest daughter gets stones too. I have never had them but I hear from them that they are painful. I hope that I don’t get them.
I’m glad it wasn’t anything more serious. Again, thanks for your support. I appreciate it so much.
