Granny's gone and done it again

OK. Austin was called back into the office today. Dr. has a diagnosis for him, but took more blood just to double check and make sure before they come up with a plan. He has a precursor to a blood cancer. Not Leukemia but still a blood cancer. They caught it early. It has a long name which he can't remember, but didn't want him to write it down because he is to go back Monday to see what's next. He says he didn't want to know because he would spend too much time looking it up on the internet and probably causing stress. He chuckled, I chuckled. So, it's good news, but bad news. Sounds like this blood cancer is more easily treated.
Ultra sound on his "boys" was good! Probably a cyst.
And, this has me pondering. The Dr said, I dont know what you've done, but you're bulging disc is gone. Well, if it hadn't been for that bulging disc, this other may not have been caught in time.

Prayers

Myodysplastic syndrome, @Cynthia12?

With all of the preservatives, you could say we've been pickled. We are actually living 5 years longer on average today than in the 50's. Even longer fir each decade earlier.

Ah, but what is the quality of life after 60? Are we living just to suffer? The medical professionals don't seem interested in figuring things out. Just here's another Rx. See you in 3 months.

God works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform. I agree with you 100%. He's in my prayers as are you, Cynthia. This has to be brutal for 'mom' to go through. He will always be your baby.

Doc worked on my back again but it is better. Yay. Found out there is a covid outbreak in the area nursing homes. Not yay. But they aren't even recommending the covid jabs any longer. Good time to stay home. Hung out at the local consignment shop for a bit, picked up groceries, stopped by the vets office and talked to them as Pi is having some post vaccine loose stools at times...no big deal it will pass but DH was worried about her.

We see fencing in our future too. That little devil is galloping us all around the yard. She's growing like a little weed.

Got home at 4:30. Man I live an exciting life....NOT!

I saw a Maxine card once that said 'At my age I need all the preservatives I can get'. May be a bit of truth about that but I agree. Oh well, you're old. My doctor is a family physician so I do get good care I have to say. No hesitation in repairing my shoulder so I could ride my dirt bike again. I've known doctors just like what you said though, you're old, you're gonna die sort of attitude. It stinks. And what stinks more, they are very open about it. You're a retired nurse, you've heard them talk. Makes me wonder why they became doctors in the first place.

Squeeeeeeel, Pi just went to the door and whined to go out. She had to go and right now, MOM! HURRY! First time. So proud of her. 9 weeks old now!
