The last few weeks have been a little tough. I haven’t been feeling very good, so we started another round of specialist visits trying to find out why. After seeing two doctors and having several scans and tests, we don’t know very much more than we did already. One of my doctors moved up the outpatient surgery to replace my bile stent to Dec. 7, which is a procedure that I need to have done every three months to keep it clear. I was also given some new medicine to try, but I haven’t noticed much change. I’m not feeling as bad this week, and I see the doctor on Wednesday and have chemo in Indy. We’ll talk about this with her and see what she thinks.
I had a CT scan today that left me in tears. My veins are getting worn out from all of the IVs and sticking, and the CT requires an IV to inject contrast for the x-ray. The nurse didn’t get the first stick to work, so she moved down to my hand. The stick wasn’t too bad, but the injection of the contrast really hurt. I think I jumped off the table and yelled pretty loud. I’ve had trouble with the last three times I’ve had to get an IV, so I’m getting worried that my veins are getting bad. We’re going to talk with the Doctor on Wednesday about any options we might have.
On the un-sold house front, we’re changing to a new realtor this week and relisting the house at a slightly lower price. We’re at the point where we just want to house to sell and not be a problem any longer. This wait (two years) to sell our house has seriously tried our patience, but we’re still confident that God has a plan. Please keep this in your prayers.
The holidays were wonderful, and we were able to spend some great time with all of our family. We’re all looking forward to Christmas and New Year’s, especially the girls!
Thanks for your support and continuous prayers.
Love,
Sandy
