Tests You Just Can't Study For

I never thought I would see the day that I would lose sleep from being excited about taking a test ---- especially one involving very long needles. Even though I now know what a bone marrow biopsy involves, I can't wait for my beautiful Brazilian oncologist to worm and work her needles into my hip bone. Because until we pass this hurdle, I won't know what the next few weeks will bring. The test is scheduled for this afternoon and I am supposed to know the results tomorrow.

But, let me tell you about my oncologist. She is absolutely gorgeous! She is tall, perfect figure, long black perfect hair, wonderful accent, and the one thing others in the profession say about her is she is smart. What I like best is her sense of fashion. The woman wears the most wonderful shoes! And they are always high heels or high wedges. Even the day she did my first bone marrow biopsy, she did it in 3 inch heels. Could there be anything NOT to trust when you have someone like this providing your care? I think not.

I guess I'll go look for my breakfast tray. They leave it outside the door and if I don't go get it, it sits out there until one of the CNAs decides to bring it in the room. Sort of makes me feel like a caged animal. Oh, that's right . . . I am a caged animal. Hopefully not for much longer.

Hey Debbye,
You amaze me! Your sense of humor is awesome. You know, you could write short stories in your spare time. So you are excited about long needles being placed in your hip? HMMMM. Seriously, I know it is necessary and am praying for an A+ on this test. You are strong beyond belief and I am inspired by you. Tell your son to keep his chin up. Things will get better.
Good luck this afternoon and God Bless you.
Love ya,
Becky
