I am so ready to get back on that boat and sail away to Anegada (heck I might not return this time)!! HAHA!

The doctor FINALLY called me back at around 6pm tonight and mind you this is the endo nazi that NEVER laughs at my jokes (maybe I am just not funny??), she is always just direct and to the point. When I answered the phone she said this:

"Ms. Chandler (read all of this in an Iranian accent) you have pneumonia, you cannot get sick, you need to be on medicine immediately, you cannot get sick, call Dr. Ersoy immediately and get medicine, if she can't help you right away then call me back in the morning and I will call some stuff in immediately, you cannot get sick. Tell her you have your scan next week and you cannot get sick. Now, as far as your ultrasound, you have a calcification, this is perplexing, you also have a metallic object in there and quite frankly I am really confused. I ran into your surgeon today and asked her if she uses metal clips in her thyroidectomy cases and she is going to look at the surgery report (I have the report and it does not mention clipping or leaving a clip in there). I have never seen this. I don't know what is going on at this point and I need to get the full picture from her. I cannot proceed until she tells me what is going on. The metal object and the calcification have to be addressed but I cannot move on until I have the whole picture, I just don't know what to do. We need to get your scan very quickly and move forward. First however you must stop the pneumonia. Do you understand?"

I think she was trying to say I cannot get sick! HAHA!!!

I said yes and she said to proceed with my treatment course for next week and she will call me when she knows more about why this metal object is in there and if it caused the calcification.

That is it. Hearing my "tough" doctor all frazzled gave me a moment of concern but she didn't send me to the ER so I am assuming I shall live! HAHA!!

NEXT STEPS:

1. I will get on MORE antibiotics tomorrow (I actually stopped my other course because - GOOD NEWS - my face is 90% back to normal!! WOO HOO!!!)

2. I will try my darndest NOT to let the pneumonia get me (caught it super early... I just have a little baby cough)

3. I start the shots on Monday if this clip/calcification/pneumonia ordeal doesn't stop things

So no worries.... we are just rolling with the punches and we shall see where this adventure takes us. You might want to buckle yourselves in for this one.... it could get a little bumpy! :)

DARN IT MOMO!!!

** GOOD NEWS I FORGOT TO MENTION- THE XRAY SHOWED NO BONE OR LUNG METASTASIS!!!!!
