"Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They're what make the instrument stretch - what makes you go beyond the norm." (Cicely Tyson)
Hello, my lovely friends!
I know I promised a special something for the blog today, but I've got a little secret: it's continuing on Saturday. I'll have the full blog on Sunday for you all.
The refreshing break from the heat is over. After a glorious taste of cooler weather, summer is back with a vengeance. Yesterday, the temperature soared to 98 degrees, and it looks like it's here to stay.
I'm ready to trade in my shorts for sweaters and my iced tea for a pumpkin spice latte. I can almost smell the crisp autumn air and hear the crunch of colorful leaves under my feet. And with the holidays just around the corner, that means I'll be back to writing full-time blogs soon!
My mom's health journey continues with another chapter! Tomorrow, she's seeing her primary care doctor for a check-up. She's got a whole list of questions ready to go, trying to get to the bottom of all the new developments.
It's been a bit of a rollercoaster lately with her MRIs. The first one suggested she had fractures in her spine, which meant she couldn't get the injections she needed. But then, after a specialist took a look and requested another MRI, the results came back with a twist: no fractures! Now it looks like the injections are back on the table.
My mom is a trooper! She has a biopsy next month, and while it's all a bit much and the medical journey is getting long, she's taking it all in stride. She's completely focused on getting better and is ready to tackle whatever comes next.
Before my mom's appointment on Friday, we're making another trip to the lab for more bloodwork. My mom loves to joke that with all the vials they've taken, she's surprised she hasn't run out of blood yet!
So glad you stopped by! Wishing you the coziest morning/afternoon/evening ahead. Can't wait for our paths to cross again!
Many gentle hugs for your mom and you (and Scooter, of course)! Medicalizing is not fun, so if your mom can find humor and laugh a bit that's a plus! Sending waves of peace and comfort to you!
ReplyDeleteYes, it seems one appointment leads to another and yet another.. and on and on. I think of getting on a conveyor belt and going along as one person does one thing and then you move onto the next. Huge hugs for your mom, it is tiring doing all those things just to get to the root of it all. Take care all of you!
ReplyDeletePlaying musical doctors and healthcare bingo is not fun. Wishing you and your mom blessings filled with love and caring. 🤗💖
