Scans and God

Today I had my PET scan. This is like a CT scan only with much more detail. Hopefully it will help to find the primary site of the cancer, but I doubt it. Part of the preparation for this scan was to drink 8 glasses of water the night before. I did and did not sleep well at all as it resulted in 8 trips to the bathroom during the course of the night. Anyway, I should have test results in 48 hours but the weekend doesn't count so I should hear by Wednesday. By then I will have had the opportunity to visit with two other doctors. Before the test I had to sign an ABN form. That stands for if your insurance company doesn't pay you will be responsible for $9675.00. It is a non-invasive procedure but my wallet could be severely invaded. All part of the joys!!!

Last night I had one of my infrequent conversations with God. Unfortunately I am not a spiritual person but I do the best with what I have and what I am. I feel god understands this as he knows the heart of all souls. I hope he wasn't pissed as it seems the only times I seek him out is when I have a problem or need His help. I told Him I would try to correct this discrepancy and planned to have further contact in the future. It certtainly doesn't hurt to touch all bases.

My next appointment is on the 19th and I'll have more on that.
