I have some good news and some sad news. The good news is that the lump is not cancer. The doctor called with the results and totally took alot of weight off my shoulders. Thursday I went to see my primary doctor. He took more blood to check my sugar level. And he discussed with me about whether or not I would consider having a Gastro Intestinal Bypass. Now that is something I really have wanted to have done for quite a while. So he gave me the name of someone in Elkins Park, Pa. I called them gave my insurance info and they will send me a bunch of forms to fill out, send back to them and then they'll set me up with an appointment for a consultation. Please keep your fingers crossed the insurance approves it for me. Ok now some bad news. It is official. I am a diabetic. I am now on a pill I take at dinner time for the diabetes. But my doctor said I get the surgery to lose weight and the diabetes could go away.
Now I have sad news. At 3:30am this morning my father in law Walter M. Sawn passed away. Jim's mom is ok, she has family at the house with her. Jims talked with her on the phone. The funeral is going to be private, a gravesite viewing and burrial. Jim and I and Dan and Emma will attend the funeral. Dan's brother Walt and his Mom will be here to watch the kids. We're leaving the girls home from school on tuesday, so they don't have to worry about going to get the kids. Jim wants to talk so I am going to go now. Keep us in your prayers ok.
Dear Cindy, well good news about the cancer...just as I predicted, I just knew that this tiem all would be ok with you. Prayers do work sometimes even as quickly as we would like them ! I am sorry about the diebetis part although one pill a days is not to bad a burden (my wee great Niece has 6 injections a day and has been deibetic sinse she was 7 she was 16b last week and also has celiac..so you can imagine what her diet is like)
ReplyDeleteNow my thoughs love an dprayers are with you all on the death of Jims Father. I will especially be thinking of you all on Tuesday. Give Jim an extra hug from me please x

ReplyDeleteso very sorry to hear about your father in law. My prayers are with all of you.
ReplyDeleteand thank goodness about the GOOD news. I want to have that surgery too. maybe someday I can. But you don't have cancer, and if you have the surgery and lose weight, you probably won't have diabetes anymore either!!
accept my condolences on your loss, please give jim a hug for me.
ReplyDeletehappy to hear the lump is not cancer. woo hoo.
seems you've been losing weight of late with your diet, can you not keep that up? gastric bypass is really a major surgery with lots of side effects. did you think about a lap band surgery, it's less invasive.
prayers...
That is good news about the cancer. I hope the surgery/weight loss takes care of the diebetis.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences to your family on the loss of your Father-in-law.

So sorry to hear about your loss!
ReplyDeleteon another note glad the lump is not cancer!
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased for you that you don't have cancer. My condolences on your loss; all strength to your husband, yourself and all the family at this sad time.
I can't believe I just made it here. Your journal doesn't show on my dashboard. I'm so glad you don't have the big C. What a blessing! Sorry about the diabetes, though. Think about the surgery. You might feel a lot better!
ReplyDeleteSorry about Jim's Dad. Give him my best.
Love ya. xoxox
I am so happy this was not cancer. THe Dr. is right that sometimes the diabetes goes away with weight loss. Sometimes the weight loss surgery is very successful. I hope that your insurance covers it. I would do it in a heartbeat if I was eligible. My heart goes out to Jim and his family because of the loss of his Mom. And the grandmother situation is tough too. She's made it so long to get that sick. I'm glad you all are going to get to go to the funeral.
ReplyDeleteVery thrilled the lump is benign.
