Nerves...
I have had almost all the tests done over the last few weeks and as I sit here I am anxiously waiting for the path report on the biopsy of the lump removed from my breast two weeks ago. They apparently lost it?? That really makes me nervous. And it's a quarter to 5 so I am starting to get upset that they will probably not get back to me till tomorrow. ARRRRRRGH. The only thing that scares me about it is IBC - inflammatory breast cancer. The mammogram was clear so that is great, but the area looks a bit like what IBC is described as. So I just want to hear that it's nothing and get on with my life.
I got the results of the MRI's back last week. I have polyps in my sinuses and one side is completely blocked, as it was 3 years ago in the MRI. So I am going on to an ENT to discuss sinus surgery. The scars on my brain have not changed in the last 3 years so that almost entirely rules out MS. The numbness I feel in my face and hands etc. can be caused by migraines I guess. Also looks like something funny going on in my spinal cord with the nerves in one area so that will be reread. Mostly really good news there though. Still have to do the EEG and VER and then I am homefree.
The memorial service for my sister was on Friday and that was really hard. It was a nice service and my sister was honored as she deserved to be. It is all much more "final" now though. We had to stop at Walmart for milk and suddenly it's all Christmasy - toys and signs of the season all over. It was very difficult because Christmas is, was, my sister's favorite time of year. She was such a giving person. She loved to give all the little kids gifts and could just watch them play for hours. She was one of those who gave attention to the kids like they were the only people on earth. She was such a great aunt to them, and such a wonderful sister too. I will miss her everyday. It just seems so unreal that she is gone.
Here is a slideshow I made for the memorial service. She had requested that I sing Amazing Grace if I could, and I know I couldn't do it live so I put it on the slideshow.
