A Rotten Week...LONGFrom: joan (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun Feb 13 12:08:53 2000
Hi everybody! It's me Joan... Sorry I haven't written much lately. You all won't believe all that's been happening in my life lately! When it rains... It pours!!! I've told you all (atleast I think I have) that my hyst is scheduled for Wed Feb 23rd. That's probably the only good thing going on... Although, I am nervous! Anyway, my husband had his annual TB test last week, and tested positive, so myself, and my 2 kids had to be tested also, and my 6yr old daughter also tested positive! We all tested negative a year ago, so they were exposed to someone with active TB at some point in the last year. They had to have blood work, and a chest x ray, and they go on Wed. to get the results. My husband will have to take medicine for 6 months, and my daughter (who won't even take tylenol) will have to take medicine for 9 months. That should be real fun! Oh well, it's still better than worrying that some day they could come down with active TB. Then we found out that my mother in law has terminal cancer. It's in her lung, sternum, mouth, esophagus, stomach, colon, lymph nodes, and blood stream! On Monday, she goes for a CT scan, to see if it's in her brain, they're also going to check her bone marrow. They've given her 3 months without chemo, and 6months with it! If she can tollerate it. She's only 65 but, she's not been in good health for a long time... My husband is a mess! He's in the military, we're stationed in Illinois, and our families are in Upstate NY. My daughter is in kindergarten, and, my husband takes college classes part time. With my surgery this month, and both of them in school till May, we feel like we're stuck between a rock and a hard place! I won't be in any shape to move till atleast the end of April, and they need to finish school. I hope we make it in time! We're putting in for "humanitarian" orders to Mass. So, as you can probably tell, I'm stressed to the max!!! Because as all of you know, that the pain doesn't stop just because you're too busy to deal with it! I'm SO exhausted! Oh well, I guess I shouldn't complain, but sometimes, I just can't help it!! My husband's feeling guilty because he's not there, and he's worried about me having surgery, because if something should happen with his Mom, and he needs to go up there quickly, we don't have any family or anyone who could just come over to help me out with the kids... My Mom said she would come, and that was nice, but I'm praying that it doesn't come to that... I know that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, but how strong do we really need to be??? Oh well, I'll quit whining now... Just needed to get it out, I guess. Thanks for putting up with me... Love, Joan
