Thank you Lord for feeling better

Well,  maybe we can try his again and do better this time.  Although not much has changed with the cancer, I did get a stronger antibiotic for the gall bladder infection.  I've had 4 doses and already fever is better or possibly gone.  But that has made a world of difference to have no chills or fever for about 12 hours.  Usually up to 102 by 7pm. So really encouraged.  I was afraid I was gonna feel that rotten till we got this thing whipped.  I have been up for 7 hours and still feel like posting so that's big.  Although the dr appt yesterday was still non conclusive about liver he did pay a little more attention to my complaints of pain and fever.  He really does not want to operate on Gall bladder until he knows what all needs to come out so he can do as much as he can while I'm open for gall bladder. Makes sense to me but the pain I was in and the frequent fever and chills need to end according to me.so he added pain reliever, and anti whatever for infection.  They were talking about me going septic and that sounded scary so I'm praising God that we seem to have the infection on the run.

Then there was the blood pressure.  Apparently the less blood you have the less pressure you have and can run the risk of kidney damage which of course we want to avoid.blood count was down to 8.4 and apparently guideline say don't add till its down to 8.  So I'm drinking lots of water and taking iron to build that back up.  Blood pressure is better.

Friday I go for a hida scan for gall bladder then next week a pet scan.

I've figured out these tests.  It's all a breaking it to you gently thing.  If they found all the problems and told you all of it, you prolly could not handle it.  So all of them do all these tests and tell you a little bit about what could happen.  After a couple of weeks of this you have heard it all so when they tell you the full diagnoses you have heard it all before.  I hope it will be easier that way.

All in all no real news. I have a bad gall bladder, colon cancer,and looking elsewhere for more.  But it is amazing to me how much easier it is to have a good attitude when not in pain and fever free.  I know it's not gonna be easy but it'll be worth the effort.  I love life and I love God and although I suspect were all gonna die someday, I really don't think this is my final run.  I expect to learn a lot through these coming trials, and I expect God to use these events to bring Glory to His holy name.
