Oh Lori, I just saw this and your comment above. I'm so glad for you all. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt, *real* journaling and layout. It is an overall stunner. This is going right to my faves.
Wow. Your journaling conveys your feelings so well. I think many of us can identify with it. Great journaling. My thoughts are with you as you go through this. Hang in there!
A little therapy. Sorry it's a novel. Journaling says: Now you say you told me about it "a little while back". Three or four months ago? I really don't remember. I guess at the time I must have thought it was one of the many bumps and bruises of childhood (though you're barely a child anymore). When your dad called it to my attention on Sunday, I thought I would get the doctor to take look at it. I'm not worried.
Your appointment was Tuesday at your pediatrician's office. (Really need to get you to a family physician, I guess). She didn't seem worried, but she did use the word "biopsy". I'm not worried, though. She told me to take you in for x-rays and gave me the name of an orthopedist.
I stood behind the wall with the x-ray tech and watched as your arm appeared on the screen. Although I didn't know what I was looking at, there seemed to be nothing glaringly amiss. So I'm not worried at all. Really.
Thursday I went by and picked up your x-rays to take to your doctors appointment on Friday. Into the doctors we go again. He took a look and he didn't {seem} worried, but did mention (in front of you) a beautiful 16 year old girl who had been in recently with a bump below her knee that turned out to be {The "C" Word}. I'm not worried; I know I'm not, because you'll be okay. You have to be.
Following Tuesday- I've been working the night shift Friday night through Monday night, but I've had three hours of sleep this morning. That's enough. So off to the radiologist for an MRI. He puts you inside the tube and you're okay. He just moved here from Chicago. He has two kids. One's been having headaches (probably "just allergies"). You're lying very, very still inside the tube, his "best patient of the day" he says. His name is Eric. We watch the screen together. I see the inside of your bones. There's something... "It's probably just a growth plate, Eric says; "very common in kids your age." I'm not worried... You have to be okay.
Now we wait... just 6 more days...144 more hours...8640 more minutes. Then we'll know that you're okay. I'm not worried...
