Pass me a Pink Ribbon I guess?
On Monday at 5:30 am a thunder storm woke all six of us up, I got Jeff and the kids back to sleep, but I was awake for the day and I knew it! I got in the shower to start my day. As I was washing I noticed I had a brownish/red sticky smelly discharge from my right breast. I knew my breast had been very tender for the last two months but I was not worried about it. I got all four kids to school (on time), and got Jeff off to work. I called and the Doctor said to come right down. From 9am until 1pm I was at the hospital clinic where the PA Kate poked proded and tested me. I had a full double mamogram that left me brused from my neck to my belly button, a chest x-ray, and blood drawn. They took a sample of the discharge to send to the lab. Everyone there was acting like I am alot sicker than I feel. They offer me a home care nurse to come to my house for a few hours tonight. I said no I do not want a nurse becaue I do not feel sick!
I am trying to hide from the truth because admiting it means that I might not be able to handle everything that life throws at me. The Doctor was busy so I was told they would call me at home. I missed the first call and called them back. Kate is a kind PA so she started with the good news, my blood work was in a normal range, they are still reading my Mamogram, the lab is working on my pap, and cervical samples, and they want me to come in to answer more questions. Then when I thought she was done she told me that they can see a possible positive on the culture of the muck from my right breast. They also made me an apointment with a Dr.Kelly some 30 miles from here for May 5th. Truthfully I am getting scared now and I know that Jeff is too. He and I talked last night, and he is not even able to think about me being to sick to get out of bed or having to have a major operation in the next year. We agreed not to tell any of the kids a thing about this because they have a puppy to get use to living with right now. I am so blessed to have good friends to share the important things in my life with.
