Finally!

I saw the cardiothoracic surgeon today, Dr. Joseph Graham. I really liked him and his office. We will be having the biopsy done on Friday, April 1. Hey, I hope that it isn't going to be an April Fool's joke. He said he thinks it will show sarcoidosis too. He seemed really excited to do it at Davis Hospital. He has been trying to do more surgeries there. Andy said to me, "Sorry I'm using you as a stepping stone for the hospital", but I can sacrefice for the job.

Who the Heck Knows??

Crazy how time can just fly by, but I've been very busy with training for a new job and going to doctor's appointments. I've had blood work, x-rays, CAT scans, skin biopsy and getting ready for a biopsy of a lymph gland in my chest. We have to get a definitive diagnoses for either sarcoidosis or lymphoma. I don't see the cardiothoracic surgeon until March 29 and then schedule the biopsy. I'm a little uneasy waiting for that time to pass. I pretty much feel like all I've done for two and half months is wait for doctor appointments and have different tests done. I'm just trying to keep positive thoughts until we have an answer.

I really thought 2011 would be my year of no surgery or illness, but apparently that isn't going to happen. I really have to stop making that my New Year's resolution. It hasn't worked in five years.

Wishing the weather would get warmer so I can go for a nice ride on Patrick and relax! We are all suffering from cabin fever and the only cure is sun, sun ,sun!!! My oldest will be 10 years old on March 20 and we have been planning her birthday party. She is going to have a Minute to Win It party. I really hope it turns out and that the kids have a good time. Every year the weather is different on her birthday. It has been so nice before that we have had it in the backyard and other years so cold we had to move it to our garage ( it is the biggest room in our house ). I've learned to just roll with the flow when it comes to my girls' birthday parties.

With devastation happening in Japan, I feel very blessed to have what I have and to have my family. When things get ya down, remember there is always someone else who is having a tougher time then you. The grass really isn't greener on the other side of the fence, it just needs to be mowed.
