Another Note Of Appreciation

I wanted to thank everyone for their comments and emails wishing me well after my "pity party" a few days ago.  I have made an appointment on the 11th to have a full lab work up done.  Then on the 13th I will see my doctor for the results and to get the rest of my physical.  So we'll go from there.

My sister Dee emailed me in response to that email (on which my post was based), and told me to make sure I had my doc really do a good job of checking my heart, because she had experienced some of my symptoms right before they discovered that she had an aortal aneurysm.  She was also waking up in the night with chest pain, though, and I don't have that, thank goodness.  But I will tell him about it and see what happens.  (This was about sixteen years ago, by the way, and about 4 years ago she had surgery to repair it.  It had grown and got to the point where she had no choice but to have surgery.)  Her email was cute, though.  She closed it with this:  "You do a wonderful complaining letter.  You're an idiot, you know.  Love ya, Dee"

I told her she was right, and that I take after my big sisters. :)

LOL... I love how she signed off and what you said back!  LOL  I am VERY glad that you are going to the docs...  Ask them to run a standard rheumatological panel too.  That's my two cents... just in case!  Sending prayers...

be well,
Dawn
