Thank you Lori. Echocardiogram is Monday next week. Will be scheduling bone marrow bx tomorrow. Hoping to get that done ASAP or never, depending on my emotions at any given moment.

Aw, I honestly, I can appreciate what you’re going through. Fright, flight or fight!
From my experience, it’s just better to know. Then you can face this issue head on and you feel as though you’re moving forward. I don’t know why we humans tend to always think the worst…but we do. And most times it’s all for nothing.

So please try to stay positive as your mind works through this. Distraction can be very helpful in stressful times. Walks, painting, sewing, reading, gardening, time with friends…all of that provides some much needed diversion in the present as your brain processes and comes to terms with issues behind the scenes.

And don’t forget to exhale! Hugs.
