thinking happy thoughts

  • Hey there momma. Well another work week behind me. Not that I'm doing a lot of work while at work, but you know that already. Actually a while ago I was doing a lot of bible study, catching up for the weekend. I read the last three chapters of Genesis and the first 3 chapters of Mark. My bible study guide likes to switch it up between the Old and New Testaments.
  • The last few days have been okay. Wednesday afternoon Dad had a follow-up with Dr. Athos, he was being kind of a jerk and seemed to have an attitude. The good thing that came out of it is that Dad's COPD is mild, and is O2 level is high. Thursday morning he went to have a chest x-ray, just as part of the follow up since he was in the hospital with pneumonia just a year ago. A few hours later we went to Dr. Robertson for a check-up and his assistant noticed something in his left lung. She talked to the radiologist who took his x-ray earlier and they said there was a mass there. We're thinking it's probably scar tissue since his lungs got pretty messed up from the serious pneumonia plus all that smoking. We're hoping it's not something else. He has to get blood work done this morning and will probably get a CT scan on Monday. I'm pretty sure this isn't serious and am praying really hard right now. The worst thing we need now is to lose Dad. I'm going to keep thinking positive thoughts. Things are just starting to get back to normal, we don't need anyone else getting sick.
  • Other than that giant worry looming over me this weekend, I think I'll have a nice relaxing few days. Tonight I'm going out with Noelle and possibly Michelle to dinner at Claimjumper and maybe hanging out somewhere there in Fremont. Saturday morning I'm working in San Fran and then Cathy's dragging me to Jenny and Mikey's kid's 2nd birthday in Antioch. It should be interesting. Sunday I'm going to church and I'll probably go walking and do housework. So yeah Mom that's my update from down here, in case you missed anything. Talk to ya later!!
