My job is going insane.  My cell phone went wacko last night and I missed an emergency call from the hospital (cell phone malfunction) and got chewed out..for a phone malfunction.  So I'm freakin' on that.  Literally cried for 2 hours last night and T came over (he never spends the night but did last night and just held me when I was crying as I'm under alot of stress there right now).

I found out today that mom, who is a nonsmoker and always has been, has two lung nodules and is having a second CAT scan in 2 weeks, five days after her birthday and two after mine.

Just really like this>

@avDillard:  Thanks so much...I needed that hug.  Been doing plenty of crying btw.

@Ms.Tofu:  Thanks so much also..needed your hug also.  Please just send prayers/positive karma/thoughts our way. 

My job is so stressful that one of the few of us (there are only 6 between 3 facilities) had an emotional issue last week and I had one last night complete with full blown anxiety!  It was horrible.  Just horrible.  And my mom is 3 states away and somehow can't seem to immediately get me the result of her cat scan (the first one) faxed to me so I can read it or see a copy of it.

:( 

I cannot begin to thank all of you for the positive thoughts and prayers.  My mom's next CAT scan is 3/31 and work is getting a teeny bit better, but this weekend will drain me...literally.  I am working both tomorrow and sunday and on call too.

It's just alot having both work and family issues too.  But it's going to be better.  Once I get my hands on her prior CAT scan report, I can glean alot more from it.  I haven't seen anything yet and I am in the medical field so I know enough and my bro in law is a surgeon so we will know what  we're up against.

It was wierd today b/c one of my patients today had a nodule and another one later on a lung mass.  I suddenly saw a different face on them, my mom's.  We don't know if it's anything yet to worry about, but I'll have a good handle on it if and when I see her CAT scan report and the scan itself on a CD. 

T and I are hanging tough right now and after the less than perfect trip to Jamaica, it's wonderful to know that you've got somebody there to hold your hand thru it.  I am not going to tell my son anything about grandma because we don't even know if it is something to worry about or not.  Just kinda surreal feeling right now and more tired than you can imagine.  I'll have worked seven days straight by sunday and then working five more days..no rest until next weekend..  

Geez, the universe is sure making itself known to you this week, isn't it?  I'm sorry you're going through all of this right now.  I just went through the lung nodule issue with a friend's mom.  I'm sure you know all of the best and worst possibilities, so I just wanted you to know that I'm hoping for the best.

I've definitely taken my licks this week too, so I can empathize well, sister!  Computer hugs!

Thanks so much everybody..I love ya all.

Hive hugs also to MsSL82be:  Hoping the path reports on your dad's polyps come back negative..the waiting part stinks.

Crossing my fingers, praying, and hoping for the best until the 31st.  I told my mom good or bad or inconclusive that she is to call me asap with the results and that the doctor request the results phoned to him as soon as the CT is read.

My mom sent me a card today (to son and I actually) for Easter.  It was very sweet.  I've got a gorgeous one to send for her birthday and will send some tulips to her also.  To make her feel better.

With her having had pneumonia, I did a bit of probing at work the other day.  One of my coworkers and a doc I work with both said that there could be non cancerous granulomas or questionable areas that look like nodules from pneumonia.  The fact she's not a smoker and that nobody in our family has a hx of cancer are both good signs in our corner.  

Thanks CW!  I needed that.
