Yeah, you guessed it, no title.
Yesterday, when I got out of my shower, I noticed that my left lower leg and foot were quite swollen. I called the kidney clinic, they returned my call early afternoon and didn't seem to worried about it. I than called the cancer clinic, wish I would have called them sooner. The nurse there told me to go to the er at the royal right away and she would call and tell them I was coming. She was quite worried that I could have a blood clot in my leg. So we left the house around 3 or 3:30 and went to hospital. After waiting my turn and then waiting for blood tests and finally getting these 2 needles to dissolve the possible clot at around 8pm they sent me home. This morning I can expect a call from them between 7:30 and 8:30 to let me know when to come in for a ultra sound to confirm whether I have a clot or not. I also have an appointment at the royal for 10:30 today for my pamidronate. This is given to me in an IV drip that takes 4 hours. It has to be given slowly because it is hard on my kidneys. Thank you very much. So it looks like I will spend my whole day at the royal again. I think I will spend some of this time praying for all the needs that are out there. Time goes by so fast when you pray and I have lots of things to pray about. Oh, the pamidronate drip is going to rebuild my bones, which is also a good thing, cause than maybe the pain in my leg and hip will diminish somewhat. I am starting not to like this disease very much.

John, I will be praying for you today ( as I do most days). I do admire your attitude about all of this, although I'm sure you have times where you get frustrated too. I pray that God would bless your time spent with him and that everything with your test results would come back good. Talk to you later.

hey uncle John, sounds like you have quite an eventful day coming your way... maybe not the kind of eventful you'd hoped for though. i think when you get home you should take out your metal detector and call me, that sounds like a GRAND old time!!! i'd love to come over and dig pennies!! hahaha. well, have a great day, i hope you feel ok!
I'll be praying as well, hope it turns into just an annoying time at the Royal and nothing else, except maybe a little less pain in your leg

John, you need to call your children.
:-)
I will continue to pray for you and for your family. I think it is totally amazing that when you are spending unpleasant time at the hospital, that you spend it in conference with God. What do non-Christians do when they are brought face-to-face with this kind of thing?
So sorry to hear about that John. We will pray for you today as we always do that this will be nothing to worry about. I also pray you have a blessed time in God's presence today.
....and maybe call your children :)
