All these great ideas...

I have all these great blog post ideas at night while I'm lying in bed trying to go to sleep.  I write the entire post (and they are pretty good) and then come morning, I can't remember half of what I "wrote"!

It has been quiet.  I knew it would be.  I have follow-up tests in July.  Blood work, CT Scan and then Dr.'s appointment.  I still occasionally have some discomfort in my rib/liver area when I take a deep breath or yawn.  It's much better.  I am going to get my mammogram this month.  It was due in March but I wanted to wait until my incision had healed well before I went in and had everything smashed!  Just trying to keep on top of everything.  I did go back to my OBGYN this week for some other issues that have been bothering me.  She put me on a prescription and I'm hoping that it helps.  She did a quick ultrasound to see how my liver looked (she read the scan and report about the possible seroma or abscess).  It looks good--she saw one spot that might still be a pocket of fluid .  She did say it's not a very good picture and the scan will be much better.  It was fun to see though.  She pointed out my aorta and some other stuff.  I've seen my scan but they mostly concentrate on my liver.  I'm hoping my small tumors have remained the same and that there are no new ones.  Dr. W. has said that the increased blood flow from surgery can cause them to grow (tumors feed off blood so it makes sense).   

Insurance.  Got the news.  My plan as it is now (free to me) is going to cost $73 a month, which is not really bad but it's $73 I don't have!  I can change plans but there isn't anything "better" that doesn't cost a lot more!  I've decided to stay with what I have.  I would hate to have to switch doctors now.

I'm trying to lease Abbie and not sell her but I've had no calls.  My trainer/instructor said she had a girl emailing her all weekend while she was on vacation and she'd tell me about it when she got back.  She's back but I haven't talked to her yet.  I'm hoping something works out there and that I don't have to sell her but I will if someone comes along and wants to buy her (and meet my criteria for a good, loving home for my baby).

No vacation plans this year.  I haven't got any vacation or sick time left.

I'll keep you posted on all the nitty gritty....

Thanks!
