Hello Wolves Howoooooooooooooohhhhhdy!!
Just a quick update. It's been a heck of a week for doctor's appointments and follow-ups. I'll start with mine. I hoped to get the all-clear from the vein doc to get back to work this week. No such luck. During the ultrasound of my leg,the technician informed me that I have developed a pretty sinificant leaker on the back of my right leg where the clot was found originally. It seems the clot was big enough to "bust" the vein wide open instead of disolving. So in short,the clot along with oodles of blood has leaked into my leg and is making its way to my feet. Hence the heavy discoloration and fatigue. Makes sense now. In the past,I had laser surgery and injections, similar to the expanding foam you might use to seal off a window, used to carterize or seal off a leaker in both legs. Well,the left leg is still doing ok,but,more intrusive surgery seems inevitable for the right. Yay.
My darlin' went back to her endo doc to try to get some sort of explanation as to the nodules in her lungs. This doc,although very young,is an old soul with old school methods. Next tuesday Teresa will have a Petscan done,which involves drinking a ton af a very sugary dyed substance. Tumors and Cancer LOVES sugar,so if scans following her ingestion come back glowing,we will worry. Otherwise we are looking at an infection in her lungs. Still not great,but much easier to treat. Her scan from this time last year was compared to the last ones and these nodules are new. Her doc explained very positively that if it is anything bad,that she and her staff will be able to handle it in its early stages quite easily. Depending on what they find,a bone marrow sample will clear up any questions. The doc is very methodical and quite pleasant so her demeanor has taken much of Teresas worries and shelved them somewhat. Thank you,God,for blessing us with her skills. More to follow when We get more info.
Ok,so my brother Kevin has reached LVL 500!Kev,I can't tell you how proud that makes me. Great work!
I'm in the mid 1400's last I looked,but that's down a full 1000 since I've becone a Wolf. I've had opportunities to fly with some of you recently,and due to battery issues,dropped out of some heated competition. Please forgive my electronic incompetence. I would never just up and leave the pack in times of battle.
PADRE,I too have noticed a drop in postings. I look forward to reading even the simple one liners or seeing simple bean can pics. I posted a followup to Kevin s Beans with my own Wolf Beer to wash it down a week ago, but nobody saw or commented. I know better than anyone that life happens. The new alliance was a buzz for a day or two. Medical appointments and other real life family stuff take priority too. I try to check in at least once a day. Yesterday was a monster busy day and I honestly believe I missed my first day of flying, ever.
I know reading lengthy posts like this one can be too much at times and I apologize. I can get pretty winded sone days. I am part of the Wolf Pack family. A family that I've grown quite fond of. And,like my own son or brother,I care to hear what's happening. I understand and respect privacy concerns. I'm an open book and quite candidly to a fault some days. Rambling is sonething that I do out loud most days. Must be senility setting in,lol. My wife even gives me a hard time about it. But through it all,I love being here with all of my brothers and sistersn sharing banter and caring about each other in a way that is still somewhat of an enigma to me. I love my Wolf Pack family. Keep in touch,my wolven brethren,even just to say "hey,I'm alive and well and I just farted and blamed the dog"
I dare you to make us all smile.
Myrlin
