Better than a poke in the neck with a sharp needle!

Do you remember the last time you went to a concert and when you left your ears were ringing with that nothing noise? Or the last time you went roller blading, or like me, roller skating when your feet still felt like the skates were on after you finished? Isn't it odd how our bodies compensate for our actions?

I did neither of those activities, but had the same feeling yesterday. I woke up feeling like my feet could take me anywhere, anywhere but where I was, skating from one task to the next and talking my mother's ear off when she arrived. This led to her question, "Are ya nervous?" in that tone of voice only a mother has when she knows something that you don't even know about yourself. The further into the day it went my ears started to tune out the noise around me and became this abyss of white noise blaring in my eardrums. I stayed calm and collected.

I arrived at the doc and was escorted in fairly quickly. Great! The one day I brought something to occupy myself (my crocheting) and I get in quick! I decided that the rumbling in my gut was not my lunch, but was the flutter of those annoying insects that only show up to fly at 100 miles an hour through the entrails when you're the most nervous.

I love this dr.! She loved my shoes, I talked her into trying a tall, skinny, cinnamon dolce latte at Starbucks and she is so stinkin' funny with her very dry medical school bed-side manner. Several needlesticks (5 if you include the numbing medication) later and some time alone with my hubby in the room the doc confirms that she has enough "stuff" to send to the pathology lab. Thank goodness, because another needlestick probing would not be fun, I think the novacaine had worn off at this time. So... now....we.....wait................. Because of the holiday next week there is no telling if it will get done before then so it may be the next week until the results are back.

Thanksgiving will definitely be a time for reflection and thanks. Thanks for the blessings of my family and friends who are feverishly praying for us. Thanks to God for the blessings in my life. Thanks for the opportunity to exercise the patience I have been praying for.

Now, that's done, nothing more to do in that area but wait, so I guess I will do my laundry. Wow, I love laundry.......well, I do now. I will take dirty, stinkin' teenage boy socks!
