Update, sort of ....

[JMCKUSICK]

I did a bunch of blood work, a lung function test, a Ct of my chest/abdomen, a chest X-ray x2, and checking my veins and arteries using ultrasound type stuff.
I asked to speak to someone in their social services department to see if we can make arrangements for a hospital bed at home and possible nurse home visits but was told that request needs to go through my Dr. Grrrrrr
I'm gonna be in a world of hurt tomorrow with my back, but most of the pre-op stuff is done.
I want to thank you all for the lovely Hearts, all the beautiful words and thoughts and vibes. I can't tell you how uplifting they are and during the in betweens of my appointments, I've tried to say thank you to each one of you.
I was also hoping to hear from Social Security regarding my SSI application but no such luck.
The funds you all have donated in this last week have taken care of April's bills so I'm in a great place as far as that goes.
Thank you to each and every one of you for your emotional support, your spiritual support and your financial support. I'm so incredibly thankful.
God Bless each and every one of you, and for those that lean in other directions, please accept my wish that Karma visits you as kindly as yours did me.
I love all of you!

The reason it's a sort of update is that I won't know any of the results til Monday. The only thing that worries me is they added a chest X-ray at the last minute. I don't know if it was forgotten or if one of my tests indicated a need.

Everything is going to be alright!

2. Thank you LuckyCharms

A cute side note, (at least I think so)
Since I was a teenager, Lucky Charms has been one of my favorite cereals and I stole the Puppy Chow song and sort of made it work with Lucky Charms.
For my inner child of course.

15. That's a bunch of tests. Whoa 😳

Makes one feel like you’re being winged around like Raggedy Andy. All that poking and machines on one day puts one in a state of altered consciousness. Been there.

Sending much compassion for you JM. Hang in there.
