Have ever had those days when you just feel... depressed?! I am a "real" person, and although I sometime smile when I break bad news to people, I DO actually feel pain... just thought I would tell all the plastic people out there that I actually have nerve receptors and, today, I say "OUCH!"
Okay, I am really sounding strange, so allow me to explain myself...
I went to the doctor yesterday because I have been having serious muscle spasms for a long time, and they just seemed worse... and, since it is not easy to give myself a back message, it was really getting to me. I also wanted to ask about the 14 or so bruises on my legs (I have always bruised easily, but I was just curious why). Don't you love it when you go to the doctor for one thing and they diagnose you with another (having a muscle spasm as I write)... So the doctor started her routine of checking things (I had not been to my family doctor for a very long time), when she made a discovery that I forgot to mention...
I have been having trouble swallowing food for a while... food gets stuck (thought it was just because I have acid reflux), then there was this itching on my neck, then a couple of weeks ago I made the same discovery the doctor did (but, I was hoping it was my imagination... after all, I tend to be a hypochondriac). A lump... yes, I said a LUMP! YIPES! The doctor says it is on my thyroid. Not sure what it is all about... might be just a goiter, says the doctor. My blood tests came back normal, and I think they are going to run more tests (I hope they can get that thing off my neck before it gets any larger... saw some pictures of people with goiters that get really large, and it can get quite gross!) So, here I am at my house panicking... and, in a serious need of a back message!
I have had a lot of fun watching my children play today... but, there is that nagging question in the back of my mind, "What is up with the nodule?" I was told about some of the tests they might do and my family doctor is hooking me up with some other doctor... probably a specialist.
Oh, by the way, Ron is bald! He shaved off his hair because the chemo was really making it fall out big time! I still think he's cute!
On the good side, Ron and I have been spending more time praying together... and, our family is singing more together... and, I read Bible stories to the girls... BECAUSE...
"When all around my heart gives way, HE [Christ] then is all my hope and stay"
Clinging to Christ,
Sarah

We are still praying for you and your family. So sorry to hear of this new problem that is happening to you. My sister is struggling with the same thing. I hope that all works out for the best for you. You are in my prayers...
Sarah you are in my prayers and the prayers of our church. I'll be praying that all will be ok with you. Talking about muscle spasms, I started having those when I was carrying Tricia and I still have them. Not so bad that I have to sit down but very incomfortable at times. Or it could be I'm just getting old. Who knows??!! Anyhow, take care and know that you are loved. We are praying. Love you. Gale
