Dreading the news…

Jump to Comments

I don’t have a great deal of time to write tonight. I need to get to bed. I have to go with DH to a Dr appt in the Big Town an hour away and it’s at 8:30am. (That’s 5 hours from right now).

He had been hospitalized for chest pains in October. They ruled out his heart by doing several tests and a cath. They thought it might be his gallbladder as it can have pains all over the body as poisons back up. But they did an ultrasound and his gallbladder was fine… however.. they found a spot on one kidney. It alarmed them enough that they set up a CT scan.  Since he did not want to wait on the hospital to arrange it, the cardio Dr set him up to have it done at his office. Well, they got the results back from the CT scan a few days ago and said there was a 3inch diameter spot on one kidney and they were going to call a speicalist.  Apparently an appt was set up for him that no one informed him of,  and he got a call from the Urologist office reprimanding him for missing it.  So he called the cardiologist and asked and they discoverd he’d never been told.  The nurse who had looked at the CT scan results was quite upset and called and set up another appt for ths morning and said he HAD to make this one. He needed to see that dr ASAP.  …

So, now we’re worried silly over what they’re going to tell us. I researched it, and I think the next step is an MRI. But the Urologist, may forego that and demand a surgery immediately. Who knows. THANK GOD we have health insurance.  These bills are going to take our tax refund, but at least we’ll be able to pay them. Not like when he had the heart attack and we had to file bankruptcy. I am still heartbroken about that (pardon the pun).

So, those of you who read this and believe, please say a little prayer for my husband and my family. Thank you.  I’ll post and update on his diagnosis when I get a chance.
