I don't know whether to be happy or scared

[mary_kay]

I got home from work exactly 20 minutes after my neuro called to give me test results.  It wasn't supposed to be until tomorrow.  Anyway, something must be up because she usually says, "....everything came back normal." right there on the answering machine.   This time she said she was leaving the office after 3PM tomorrow, and to please call around 12::30 so she can talk to me about my tests.  I don't know how I am going to wait....and I am scared and hopeful at the same time.  Thanks for listening...I just had to tell somebody.
Love you guys,
Mary Kay

MaryKay,
For good or bad, it sounds like your new reality is about to be shaped. I'm sorry you have to wait until tomorrow to speak with her.  Try not to be too anxious in waiting. My best, Lulu

You will be in my thoughts and prayers.  I know how awful it feels to have to wait.  Hang in there, you are about to get some answers.  Please keep us posted.

It is unfortunate she couldn't have called just a lttle later and caught you at home.  The waiting is indeed stressful, but it's less than 24 hours from now, so hang in there.  When you find your mind drifting toward the possibilities, try hard to remember that if it is MS, it is a manageable disease.  So many of us are doing OK with it, and you will be OK too.  And now you know where to come for support, to get through whateve lies ahead.

I'm sitting here waiting with you!  Wow, it sounds like some answers are coming.

I'll make you a cup of tea; I have this new stuff called peach apricot honeybush that's pretty yummy and relaxing.  I don't drink, or I'd offer you a shot of something in your tea to help you remain calm and at peace while you wait.

I just watched a funny movie; do you have something you can do to distract yourself?

I'll be looking forward to your post tomorrow after you've talked to your doc.  

Hugs,

Kathy

It sounds to me like you may have some answers coming your way.  Take someone along with you, just in case you have a diagnosis coming your way.  I was in such shock, that I didn't comprehend most of what was said to me.  I was thankful my sister was with me.

I'll be waiting on pins and needles with you until tomorrow . . .

Thanks so much. I really am not too scared.  At 12:30 tomorrow, I will be at school, so if I get any news that is really major, I am going to tell my principal that I need to go home to digest it all.  With my luck, my dr. will probably say we need another test!  I am going to write things down as she talks to me.  Your support means so much to me.  My friends are supportive, but they don't really know what this limboland really feels like.
Blessings to you all,
Mary Kay

Just how long can we twiddle our thumbs without fatigue and weakness setting in?  I do hope that this brings you some closure.  I bet your thoughts are flipping back and forth between I hope it is MS (as that would end this phase, make sense of what I am going through and given me a plan) versus What else could it be?  versus I don't want to know or don't want to have MS.  I found that the last one didn't hang around very long, because I KNEW that I DID have something and that MS fit it.

Talk about racing thoughts!

We're all on pins and needles waiting with you!

Thanks, Quix....you really get it....yep. you do.

[Sarahsmom46]

I hope you get real answers from the tests tomorrow.   It is so difficult waiting for results, but now by tomorrow this time you will know that is going on and hopefully it will lead to a diagnosis.  I'll be thinking about you and praying that you will be strong enough to handle whatever the tests revealed about what is happening to you.  Take good care in the meantime.

Many, many hugs...

Julie

I had my cup of tea while waiting for your phone call to come, now I'm hoping that all went well while talking to your doc.  

I'll check back later and see if you've posted.

Hugs,
