4 months checkup and my dream

in Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin) #1

Today, I had a visit with my Hematologist/Oncologist for the first time in four months. Of course I had been fretting about it for several days. But everything was fine (yay!). My blood counts were good and his very thorough physical examination was good. He asked a million questions and in the end was satisfied that all was well. At the very end of the visit, he asked if I had any questions. I said no, but I did want to tell him about a dream I had. . .

In the dream, I had a visit with him in which he was not happy about my blood test results. He told me I would need a bone marrow biopsy. I told him that was fine but I was not prepared for it today. He said that was good because he was too tired to do it anyway. He laid down on the exam table and fell asleep. I covered him with a blanket,  turned off the light, and told him I would lock the door on my way out. 

My doctor laughed and laughed when I told him that. 

He also assured me that I would not be needing another bone marrow biopsy.

I am so thankful for my wonderful and caring Doctor. I am thankful for my husband, who was with me at this appointment. 

In hope and peace, 

Rocquie

    Hi Becky

    I'm glad to have given you another laugh! 

    Amazingly, another 4 months have gone by since this post and I have another checkup next week. I'm hoping it goes as well as the last one.

    Did you see my post from a couple of weeks ago about Kyle and Michelle? As you know, I had been very concerned about Kyle. When I found out how well he was doing, it put a huge smile on my face. 

    Hugs,

    Rocquie
