The latest...

So Halloween has come and gone.

Thanksgiving will soon be here.

I found out last Tue (a week ago) that after meeting with a foot/ankle specialist that I do NOT have cellulitis on my foot/ankle. So today I received my call from the hospital and I've just scheduled a bone scan for next Thursday the 13th. It will be all day at the hospital if you're not familiar with bone scans, my check-in time is at 7:15am, 8am I have my blood drawn, at 12noon I will have an injection and will need the next four hours to pee it out of my system, then at 3pm is the bone scan. Whew. Sigh. I'm not sure how much longer after the bone scan I will actually get the results, but I will keep you posted as soon as I am informed. I'm a bit nervous and the foot doctor doesn't know what it is... he thinks it may be some sort of disease. Will see if the bone scan will have something light up or have any "hot spots"...

The pain has increased and has travelled through different locations. I have pain also in my shin and knee area of my right leg and also my right arm, as well as my left foot. Nothing like feeling a burning sensation and sharp pain in both feet at the same time! Ergh. I'm a bit worried, and feeling a lot like I need to get all things in order in my life right now. The pain has been a bit intense, and I really don't know what to expect at this point but hopefully find out soon. The foot dr, that my family dr has referred me to, also plans to retrieve the results from my lab/blood work that was done at my dr's office. If the info he needs is not on those results, then he will have my blood drawn at his office and send it for testing for the info/details he needs to find out.

It has been brought to my attention that should nothing come of this testing... then perhaps I should be referred to an internist for internal medicine. One thing at a time... and we'll see where this step takes me.

I went to church last Sunday with cousin Diana and her family and Uncle Gary and Aunt Carol came along too. We met up at their stake center for stake conference. It was nice.

My thoughts are pretty focused on a few things lately. I've been doing a lot of pondering too.

Funny where life takes us sometimes - eh?

Things are ok over here and I'm doing good despite the physical pain and the journey that goes with it. I manage to smile and laugh still. It's nice to want to come home and to a home that feels like home. My roommates are wonderful. I feel at peace here.

I hope any of you who read this are doing good and healthy.

My love,

Christy
