Well, I have been suffering from shortness of breath for quite a while now. I had pulmonary function tests(PFTs) done this past Weds. I was supposed to meet with the doc on May 29th to go over the results but they had a cancellation today and said that I could come in this afternoon. The lady who did the PFTs said that everything seemed to be okay and my results are within normal ranges. But I am still scared that the doctor may say something different. I keep thinking "what if..."
What if the technician misinterpreted the results? What if the doctor interprets something that she is not trained to do? What if he wants me to do more testing? What if, what if, what if... I HATE THIS!! I took Klonopin to calm myself down and I keep telling myself I have to accept whatever the outcome because that is my fate and that God will give me the strength to deal with it.
I have a friend who is so non-chalant about matters involving his health. His last urine test revealed high sodium levels and the doctor wanted him to get a re-test. He didn't even bother doing it. He wasn't afraid. He is just so laid back and not worried that he didn't even bother. WHY CAN'T I BE LIKE THAT?! MY LIFE WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER AND I WOULD BE SO MUCH HAPPIER!

Let us know what the doc says (I'm sure it will be great!!). I'll write more later, my son's MRI is this evening and I need to drop my other son off at my parents place.
I'll be thinking good thoughts for you!!!
Hope you had a very positive visit and great results!!!
Take Care!
How was your son's MRI? I hope your family got positive, definitive results so that you can put this behind you and move on.

The MRI went great. I mean, aside from the fact that we had to do an MRI on a FIVE year old!! He was amazing. He had 5 cycles where he had to lay still for 3-5 minutes for each one and hold his breath for part (not long) of it. I was so proud. They are going to compare the x-ray, CT and MRI and get with the orthopaedic on Monday. I will probably start bugging them Tuesday am if I haven't heard anything. Actually, I'll call in the afternoon, my son's preschool graduation is Tuesday morning!! OH NOOOO!!! Kindergarten here we come (as if I wasn't having enough problems with anxiety)!!
Again, I'm so glad the doctor visit went well and you got fantastic results!!
Have a good trip, I hope it is a relaxing one for you.
I hope you are doing well today. Are you about done with school now for summer? Is that any relief to you? I know the kids here are out tomorrow.
Have a good day!
School ends in 5 weeks! We get out the end of June. Honestly, it is worse for me when it is over...then I don't have my schedule and then I dwell on things and I have worse anxiety...isn't it a shame? I can't even enjoy summer vacation!! NOT IN A GOOD MOOD TODAY AT ALL!!

The end of June? Yikes!! You must start later in September? Do you go anywhere for the summer? Can you do any teaching? My aunt was a teacher for 30 years and occasionally she would do some things over the summer to occupy her time. But with your little one I bet you'll be pretty busy anyway!!
I'm sorry you're having a bad day. I seem to be having more and more of them which is crazy and doesn't make a lot of sense. I wish there was more we could do about all this. I hope the day passes quickly for you and tomorrow is better!!
