Update

On 8/10 I managed to tear a muscle in my chest. Called the doc the next day to get a muscle relaxer to help get it out of spasm. Was referred for a chest x-ray to make sure I hadn't broken a rib in the process. While waiting for results, a CT tech came out and said they were going to do a CAT scan. Had the scan and talked to the radiologist. He saw some abnormal lymph nodes in my chest. I was referred to a pulmonologist. Ordered a PET scan just on a whim, expecting it to be negative. Had the scan on 8/24. Unfortunately it came back positive and I have now been referred to a cardiothoracic surgeon for biopsy and removal of the nodes.

Several possibilities: histoplasmosis (a fungal infection due to and indigenous fungus in the soil in the midwest), sarcoidosis (an autoimmune disease affecting lymph nodes and lung tissue), or lymphoma (Hodgkin's, or non-Hodgkin's type...either way a possibility of lymphatic cancer).

The appointment with the surgeon is 9/6. I'll keep you posted.

On the plus side....the rib wasn't broken :rolleyes:
 
Good Morning TC.. hope y'all find yourselves dry and with a home.. My heart goes out to those from Ohio to Nawleans.

Well, here's hoping it is the fungus infection (as that sounds least serious). I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

It goes without saying the entire gang here has you in our thoughts and prayers :rose:

Don't go driving yourself nuts thinking about this.....bad time to be a nurse, huh?

There is also the outside possibility the machine that did the test burped, or maybe your nodes are different to begin with.......have had experience with those lung fungal infections, nasty little boogers. I'm gonna keep my thoughts focused that this will all turn out as just a wake up call, telling you ain't 18 any more :kiss:

Confession is Good For The Soul

I think of sex constantly
I am addicted to pleasure
I am extremely turned on by domination
I get a tremendous hard-on while spanking a nice big ass
I love to have my cock sucked more than anything
I was sexually abused between the ages of 9-12
I would kill my abuser if he were alive today
I masturbate when my wife doesnt want sex
I travel too much and hate sleeping alone
I love a woman's body the BBW the better
 
Thank you for the words of support. I am of the opinion that whatever comes, I will deal with, good or bad.

I'll keep you posted
 
Good Morning, TCers....

BAD news.. I have to work today.. No winner in the lottery. :(


Jeff, Man I wish I could say something good will come of this experience.. but MY thoughts and prayers are with you as well.. HOping upon Hope that the machine malfuctioned... Something other than the list of worst case scenarios .

{hugs for you} when a ^5 just wont do

Good Morning TC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hope this day finds you dry warm(not Too warm) and safe.

Things to Ponder ...

A stitch in time saves nine what? After eating, do amphibians have to wait one hour before getting out of the water? After they make Styrofoam, what do they ship it in? Are female moths called myths? Are part-time band leaders semi-conductors? Are you telling the truth if you lie in bed? Before they invented drawing boards, what did they go back to?

Can a stupid person be a smart-a@@? Can fat people go skinny- dipping? Can you buy an entire chess set in a pawnshop? Can you get cavities in your dentures if you use too much artificial sweetener? Could crop-circles be the work of a cereal killer? Crime doesn't pay... does that mean my job is a crime?

Day light savings time-why are they saving it and where do they keep it? Did Noah keep his bees in archives? Do blind dogs have seeing-eye humans? Do blind Eskimos have seeing-eye sled dogs? Do boxer shorts box? Do cemetery workers prefer the graveyard shift? Do crematoriums give discounts to burn victims? Do fish get thirsty? Do hummingbirds hum because they don't know the words?

Do hungry crows have ravenous appetites? Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? Do jellyfish get gas from eating jellybeans? Do mass murderers kill only in church? Do people in Australia call the rest of the world 'up over'? Do pilots take crash-courses? Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"? Do Scottish Terriers get Scotch Tape worms? Do stars clean themselves with meteor showers?

I can tell you from the sad past experience with Charlie, carpetbaggers come out of the woodwork and the government is all promise and very little action.....would you beleive there is still a huge storage lot of whilte FEMA trailors that has never made it to victums of Charlie not 45 minutes from where Charlie came ashore? Minimum of 50, maybe as much as 100 2 bedroom mobile homes that has just been sitting there for the past 6 months or so. And yes, there are still people here homeless from Charlie.
 
Good morning everyone. Happy 3-day weekend for those of you fortunate enough to get one!

I know...long time, no post. I have no good excuses...but I have been checking in to see how you are.

Hi Lusty! Hope you continue to survive the classes!

Jeff -- my thoughts are with you and as I said last night -- I expect regular status reports.

Oman and Jenny -- hello!!! Oman, I had no idea you were in the social work field! You rock! (even more than I thought you did before). Jenny -- I can be a bit of a reality show freak to, much to my own embarrassment. What's worse is that I have managed to suck Nigel in, and with him being an actor, its sacrilegious for him to watch.

KK -- Welcome back to the thread!! You have been missed. It had made me smile to see you back posting again. Not if we could gather all of the members of the Pocket Brigade and have them all posting at once, I would be a happy woman.


Confessions:
*We have to move again and I am not a happy camper. The landlord is getting out and selling our house before the bubble bursts. We have not even been in the house a year. I can't seem to get motivated to pack.

*I am really tired of Nigel's work schedule. Its hard to feel connected at times. Lately, I have been increasingly frustrated about it because I feel like so much of my time is spent alone, without him, and there is no way to resolve that until he is able to find a better position. I just miss him.

*I have some nagging insecurities which are really bothering me.

*I need to find another job, but it boils down to trying to find one in the social work field that would pay me as well. It isn't happening, so I feel trapped. I don't like feeling like I don't have good options.

NG,SIS!!!!
been missing you!!
Hoping and praying you get the work and home situation worked out soon.
I know how both can be,we have gone through both together here,too!
In fact, even though we dont work opposite schedules anymore. I havent had a day off since I dont know when! and anytime off,Ive been looking for better!
I just try to remeber the days when we werent together at all,except through the PC. Keep strong,if someone as special as you keeps striving and has the support of the pocket brigade,YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING!! In fact, look what you accomplished when you put your mind to it! Tou two are together!Right?
Did you imagine you would be in California,a few years ago? No,but you accomplished it!!
Insecurities??? Dont give into them. Just remeber how great you are!! Youre NG!!!!
 
Evening TCer's from my hot and humid cell here in homework jail :rolleyes:

NG - it was more than great to see you post - we really miss having you around. And it sounds like you could use a little of TC's TLC. Life sucks sometimes and there are basically 2 things you can do about any situation; change the situation or change the way you think about the situation. If you are spending too much time alone, then find something to do. Didn't you say you were an artist? Maybe something like volunteering to teach art to inner city (do they still use that term?) kids could satisfy at number of levels. The work thing is a personal choice; I worked 15 years in a field I wasn't overly fond of because the $$$ was just to good to pass up. But some forced down time brought a good deal of reflecting time. And for me, the $$$ was a pretty dumb reason for me to give away my time....my time that was being spent doing something I didn't like.....time that I would never get back.

A big :p for someone special

Every time I drive past those trailers, just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. And after all that happened here in FL last year (4 storms), you'd think the gov. and all those agencies that request $$$ would have figured it out just a bit better. Perhaps a little OJT is called for....all those paper pushers should have to sit through one of those storms, see their home vanish, lose all material items, then have to spend the next 30-60 days in search of things like food, water and shelter (BTW, their job was blown away too) then maybe they might begin to understand what is needed and how soon.

Politics is a business. Not there for you and I any more than Walmart is...they are there to make $$$.

What is the reason they were sent there? My dollar says it's greed, plain and simple.
