Thank you so much for the hugs and the pictures. I appreciate you all so much. There is not one person in my life here that really cares. Truly. You are all family and I love you so much.

I have some good news! I do not have a blockage. That leaves testing for C. Diff and other things. I saw the gastro yesterday. She demanded a specimen right then! I explained it just doesn't work that way. Anyway, I was told to oblige them on Monday and she said we'd talk about other options on Monday in case it's not C Diff. If it's not C Diff, I'm in a world of trouble.

I do not have a blood clot in my leg. Instead, I have Achilles tendonitis. Who knew something like that could hurt so much and cause so much swelling, heat, etc.? The Dr. put a lift in my shoe that I have to use for six to eight weeks. She gave me five days of anti-inflammatory pain medicine. I'm to stay off it, etc. That's hard to do. She said if there is no improvements in 6-8 weeks, I'll have to go to P.T.

Last but not least, my heart is fine. However, my Dr. is sending me to his friend, who is a Pulmonary Dr. I am to have a CAT scan of my heart and lungs next week. He says something is definitely wrong and we've got to get to the bottom of it.

Belle did really well today while I was gone. She didn't use the bathroom anywhere but on her pads. I'm so relieved and so proud of her. I gave her lots of praise and some treats.

I thank you so much for your good thoughts and your prayers. Thank you so much for caring.

PS. I can't believe I wrote panties instead of underwear in my last post. I've embarrassed myself!
