In Good Health

For those that don’t know I can be a tad bit dramatic. Just a tad. And recently I had some medical issues that came up that caused me some great concern. I now that my faith says give it unto the Lord and do not worry, but by nature I am a worrier.

So when there was the possibility that I had a “goiter” I started having dreams of large crazy shaped objects growing from my throat/neck area. Or my fiancé running from me at the alter once he pulled the veil back and seeing my “goiter” protruding from the top of my beautiful wedding gown. And then there was the one when I stopped breathing because the growth had gotten so large my airway was blocked. True dreams and thoughts people.

All that to say that it’s not a “goiter”. Thank God. “Goiter” is still one of the most ugly words ever in my mind.

Anywho I also had some other heath concerns going on at the same time as the “goiter’ fiasco so that may be why my vivid imagination go the better of me. I met with a very nice Asian doctor. So I gave him the run down of my medical history going back as far as high school, and he is listening and asking questions and apologizing for not having eye contact because of the new electronic system everyone is being forced to use. So after taking all his notes (no physical exam yet) he says to me:

Dr: - “well you don’t have cancer, you want to know how I know?”
Me: - As I clutched my imaginary pearls because I had thoughts of being on my deathbed, I ask how do you know that for sure?
Dr: - “cause you would have been dead by now.”

As weird as it was it really made me feel better. I still have a few more test that need to be ran but I do know that I am not dying tomorrow, well at least not from cancer or a “goiter” attack.
