Doctor's Visit

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 80 degrees, high 89 degrees, cloudy, windy

The weather continued much as it has for the last few days. The good thing about it is that it is a little cooler, and no rain. The rain we got last week will last another week or two at least.

We were busy again today (is there anything else?). We helped Terri take care of some little errands in Tuscaloosa. The traffic was terrible because the college students are back in town. While in town, we went by the library and changed our books out. After lunch, we went out to the house to make sure everything was okay there. No problems were found, and we headed home to rest a few minutes before Carolyn had to visit another doctor about the nodules on the calf of her left leg.

The nodules were first noticed about three months ago, and Carolyn saw a doctor a couple of weeks ago about them. That doctor sent her to the specialist she saw today. The specialist said the nodules were not like anything he had seen before, so she will have a number of tests performed to try to narrow down what they are and how to treat them. She will have a c-t scan on Thursday, then go back to the specialist to see if he is going to do a biopsy. He does not want to do the biopsy until he has a better idea of what we are dealing with. If surgery is advised, we will let everyone know the details on when and where.

Has anyone noticed how fast time flies the older you get? We have been here a little over five months, and it seems like it was yesterday that we got here. Well, most of the time it seems that way. Sometimes, the hard work we were doing here seemed like it was never going to end. Thank God things are a little easier. I was starting to think maybe I should go back to work for money so I could get some rest.

More later, be safe.
