What a Week...

What a week last week was. My poor Bug had the flu so I worked from home all week to take care of him. I realized that I couldn't be a teacher or home school my kids.



The trainer looked at Roo again last Monday and sent him for x-rays and then a MRI. Thankfully, he only has a crack in his growth plate and will not need surgery.

The doctors here love us....

Along with my medical issues, my Roo has a UCL injury. The trainer was able to look at him yesterday. Right now they are treating him as just a pull until after the weekend then they will re-evaluate him on Monday and if he hasn't improved, he will be schedule for a x-ray/MRI to rule out a more serious injury to the UCL. He cannot pitch for 1-2 weeks and can only do short plays and DH. He was not happy about this. He is already stressing about if he will get to play in their double header this Monday. He is also nervous about possibly have the MRI done. It's easy to tell him not to stress and worry about things you cannot control or may not happen, its another to actually do it.

So once again....the waiting game begins.

5 Week Check Up - More bad news

I went for my 5 week check up today hoping for good news. However, I heard the same story as always...just sooner than normal.

The doctor didn't like a certain spot around my incision area so I am being scheduled for another biopsy. Given my history of the cancer recurring, he was telling me about a new drug that has just been released. Just my luck, it's $50,000 for the 60 day treatment and insurance doesn't even cover half. So we can go ahead and write that option off. So it's back to the surgical option again. If I have to repeat the surgery, I am looking at having a skin graph done because of how they closed the last time.

I really don't know how I feel. I know that I am mad because I don't understand how they can miss some when they are checking it under a microscope throughout the process. I also realize how unlucky I am. The surgery is suppose to be 99%. I have had it twice in the same area and have been in the 1% both times. What are the chances? Really? The 3rd surgery should be free by now. One would think after 5 years, in the same area and as much as they have cut on me...they would have gotten it all by now.

So I am back to the waiting game to have the biopsy done and results back to see where I stand. I wonder if this is God's way of teaching my the patience that I pray so much for? It's in his hands, always have been. All I can do is pray.

Here is a pic of me at 5 weeks.
