be authentic - believe in myself (read all 25 entries…)
Vacillating 10 months ago

Oh, dear. What a day. I’ve had some questionable test results, so I was on a return doctor visit. My ob/gyn is an okay sort. Her bedside manner is a bit unusual. As she’s working she says things like, “Boy, I’ve been a real cancer magnet recently.” And “I’ve been sending Dr. X alot of business lately.” Dr. X is a gyn oncologist. No diagnosis yet, but doesn’t that sound oh so reassuring?

I feel good. So I worry only a little. Then I feel great and want to buy valentines and postcards and examine things from different points of view and just want to make the world a better place. It’s a little bit of an emotional roller coaster.

Oh, Gemmword

Thank you so much for the support. If the need for treatment should arise, I would more than welcome all resources available.

The doctor is strange. She calls me by the name I prefer and treats me personally She knows about my work and I know about her kids. I like that. I think medically, she knows her stuff. But she has an unprofessional mouth. She may be trying to be humorous in preparing me for possibilities.

Thanks again {{{Gemmword}}}

Start me out

with some alternative links, my friend!

Although I come from a traditional medical background, I am open to all sorts of possibilities. Knowing me, I will concoct some hybrid method of dealing with whatever this is myself. All ideas are welcome. Thanks, gemmwork!

RuthG raises a toast for a fruitful 2010!

Sheesh!

What a strange doctor you have. I guess she assumes that because you’re in the medical field yourself, you’re detached from the negative possibilities of these test results?!

She DEFINITELY has an unprofessional mouth.

Love & prayers, my friend. Keep us updated!

And we are so very different

We were discussing my anxiety to a closed MRI. She wanted to know what I said to my patients who have MRI’s ordered. I said that I ask them how they feel about the MRI. If I get an anxious reaction, I notify the patient’s physician to take some action to make the patient more comfortable.

Thanks for the love and prayers, Ruth. I won’t know anything for a week. My mood should even out by then.

DoctorTeeth says, "Oh Sky Cake, why are you so delicious?"

Bizarre

Some doctors just don’t know how to talk to people. I hope things go well, and keep thinking positively!

Thanks DoctorTeeth.

Thinking positively is exactly where I’m going with this!

Jessy loves a clean slate and a fresh start. Happy 2010!

Ack, Mama Kitty . . .

Your doc must not have taken “Bedside Manner 101” in med school.

I am sending positive thoughts your way and hoping for the very best news on those tests!

Hugs, Mama Kit!

Ha ha

I found out yesterday that she was a social worker before she was a doctor Beside not having a good salary, I wonder how that job went for her.

Thanks for the good wishes. They are so very welcome. Somehow, I believe the positive spirit behind difficulties can be tremendously healing.

Oh dear...

I’m so sorry to hear about the biopsy and questionable test results. Wow, a week to get results??? That seems crazy to me. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers my Dear!

In the meantime I’m glad to hear your anxiety level is fairly under control. Today I was having some anxiety about something and called a dear friend. She came through for me with a great Bible verse that I would now like to pass on to you:

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34

{{{{{HUGSSSS}}}}} MamaKitty!!

Wonderful Scripture.

Thanks, Carm. That scripture is extremely comforting. I know I can ride along with the results of this. Some other things in my life, I’m not so easygoing. This may be a good Lenten scripture for me to meditate upon.

{{{Carm}}}

You know, sometimes I feel a tad like Roseanne Rosanadana, “It’s always something…”

I also...

find that one comforting. In fact I think I need to print a little sign with that verse near my desk so I can frequently be reminded of it.

And yes, it IS always something! That seems to be the nature of life. Happy Valentines and have a great weekend Kitty!!

I was thinking

something similar about the scripture.

Are you and Walter doing anything fun for Valentine’s Day? I work this weekend so John and I went out to dinner tonight. We were going to see Slumdog Millionaire, but driving in St. Louis is nuts these days…lots and lots of road work, so we did not make the show on time. Still in all, we had a nice time. Hope you have a great Valentine’s Day, too!

I've heard...

that is a really good movie! Maybe you can catch it another day.

I’m taking tomorrow off work (and away from the computer) to spend it with Walter. We’re hoping to go to the Sci-Fi Museum in the afternoon (I’ve been wanting to go for a long time), then out to dinner at Outback. It should be a fun day.

I hope your work shifts go well and there’s nothing too crazy going on. Take care!

be the reverse polarity

cancer magnet? poor woman, probably doesn’t realize what she’s saying. If so, would certainly rephrase.

be well, MamaKitty. Iffy results are one reason I do not schedule doctor visits. The doctor should look me over, poke and prod, set me up with the machine and the lights, and pronounce me young in body and spirit.

And same for you!

Amen to that!

And yet, I understand how this process works. I am open to how this will transpire, for these things take time. For now, I don’t know what is going on, and it is out of my hands. I will not waste energy on worry.

As far as considering possibilities, I would really like to read more about your nutrition and supplements experiences. What you think has worked for you and why. Where you got the information to help you decide what choices you have made. You know, things like that.

In the meantime, we will remain young in body and spirit!

I will try

first off, I do research for a living. This means I’ve got confidence in my findings, built on a pattern of success. I don’t say this to brag but to offer my qualifications.

Second, I’ve had positive experiences with herbs and homeopathy, over decades.

Years back, I had surgery to correct a uterus with a septum down the middle. I was miscarrying. After being discharged, bleeding began. Heavy, scary.

At the hospital, they decided the only solution was to take the uterus. I had to sign that I realized I might die if I left without that operation.

I went to an acupunturist who had helped a friend after a stillbirth. Master Ni could barely speak English. I was very weak and could barely move. He put needles in my head and give me Chinese herbs, and would not let me talk or have cold food.

A year later I got pregnant, and daughter V came to be. My western doctor said he could not understand what the herbs and needles had done, but had no doubt they had saved me & my uterus.

That is the first story. What I got from that is determination is a powerful force.

I’ll skip to the present. Master Ni is in west LA or I would be seeing him or his son. When I felt not right in my body-the pains in the ankle and trouble walking, and the bladder that felt infected but wasn’t- I researched what it might be and what could help.

I also went to the doctor to make sure it wasn’t cancer or whatever.

Although I juiced daily, a test showed I was low in anti-oxidents. So I added into my diet doses of anti-oxidents from many sources during the day.

People on 43T suggested turmeric. I took that in capsule form morning & night, cranberry pills, acai juice, blueberries, pomegranite juice, and green juice.

There were several supplements too- resveratrol, lecithin,B,r-lipoic acid.

The way it worked was I used them a few weeks, then tapered off. Now, I just eat fresh whole foods and walk a lot.

Hope this helps, and that you find what you need. I google symptom by symptom in advanced search with word remedy.

the last reply was way long, sorry

One more thing about research – there is a lot of garbage out there. So if you come across something that sounds smelly discard it.

good luck!

ridiulous doctors...

with their crap communication skills.

Don’t get me started!

New Isabella is wishing you a Happy New Year in 2010...

((((MamaKitty))))

I feel for you. I went through something similar a few years ago. Know that I’m keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

I’m glad that, in spite of the stress and fear of waiting for results, you were able to spend some time playing with Wordle. That’s the spirit! :)
