So....we left this morning at 8'o'clock and we JUST got home about 45 min. ago! Dead run ALL day. Mark came home to take his daily nap and I took the baton and kept a steady sprint until I landed at the Set Free Thrift Shop to chat with two of my flat lander buds, Carol and Beth. Jerry K. was there also and of course we had a little pow wow...which consisted of loud and CRAZY talk because that's how we are...just cuz.
Anyway, enough about them, back to me :) The MRI was a test for sure because I had to be still for almost 30 min. And let me tell you the position I had to be still in was quite interesting. I was on my stomach which is ok. My arms, up and straight, was tolerable. The "table' like thing that I was stretched out on had two holes that resembled a mini out house (double seater) . Uh huh, guess what dangled in the two holes...yep, you guessed it! I had to start praying immediately when they slid me into the tube because I wanted to start giggling (remember...don't move) with the visual that was going on in this horribly wicked mind that I have...Hep me Jesus , hep me Lawd, Hep me hep me!!!!! LAWD have mercy. HAHAHAHAAAA!
Anyway, seriously, the MRI showed that the tumor has not (so it seems ) gone anywhere else but to my skin. Also it does not appear that it has grown into the muscle or rib, and THAT my friends is very good news! How great is our God?!
Thursday I have an echo cardiogram (sp) because the chemo (red one) can cause heart damage. Next Tue. I get the port put in and the next day I begin chemo.
Tired so tired. Gonna go kick off my shoes and do nothing...maybe just move a little furniture to decompress myself.

Catching up on your blog....been a couple days since I've been able to read. Thinking of you hourly and praying for you and Mark constantly! Amen for the good news that it has not gone anywhere other than the skin. Yes, the picture you painted of the MRI definitely made me giggle! :-) Luv U both!
You make me laugh. That was just the humor I needed to hear before I go to bed. Joy is our strength and you have it girl. I will need to get that vision out of my head before sleep. lol Blessings to you.
Wanted to let you know that my friend Liz Groo in Ft. Worth just put you on her chuched prayer chain. We never have too much prayer support. love ya
"The Breast Book" by Susan Love, a recommendation from Liz :) Ha Ha and big ha on your experience, at least they had you lay down and it wasn't like the old school head in the hole arms up in the city court yard for all to see. I wonder if the holes are adjustable? Such wonderful news Mama! Your pals in L-town are very very excited for that news!
Trying to decide if reading commentary from Julie is as funny as being in person with Julie
! Both crack me up! But being in person with Julie would win every time, because laughing with you in person...well, that is an experience in itself! What wonderful news you share!!! God is good.
Oh my goodness, I'm still laughing! What a visual you gave, I don't know how you kept from chuckling yourself!! So happy for the news! We do serve a mighty God hallelujah.
The scan would have never gotten done on me because once I get the giggles I can't stop! Good job on keeping it together :)
