Good morning from Boston! It sure looks a lot different here than it did when we left. (disclaimer: I did not take this picture!) All I can say is that time flies and seasons change when you’re healing. 🙂
It was a late arrival last night, partially due to the 2-hour delay on American that seems to be the norm rather than the exception these days.  But, we’re here and that’s all that matters.
We have a super-hectic schedule with my MRI this afternoon and doctor appointments all day tomorrow. Â We are feeling VERY good about things and praying for excellent news.
I will admit, the first follow-up is always a little scary. Â But for me and my experience, the second, third and fourth are more cause to get the blood pressure rising.
Based on my limited understanding of these things, the first scan is most likely to show what appears to be cancer.  It could be inflammation, which I know I have because the outside of my ear is still not 100% healed.  It could also show scar tissue, and I certainly have a lot of that in the region, with so many surgeries I’ve lost count.
So what I find myself asking is whether a three-month scan is even really necessary, and why do they do it in the first place?  I guess that (and maybe there’s a doctor out there who can confirm or deny) it’s to look for larger, scary things that were not there before; those that wouldn’t be surgically related.
Either way, we are not expecting to hear “you’re clean, looks perfect!”. Â We are hoping for a simple “it looks just like it should, and we will continue to watch it.”
So I lovingly ask for your prayers and love and light and all of the good things that can be teleported our way for a successful follow-up visit in Boston. Just believe, along with me, that there’s nothing big, new and scary inside my head this time. That’s all. 🙂
I will report back with news on Friday and then we’ll have that well-earned glass of champagne.
Love K
