One: Remember the sights of Spring I posted about 2 weeks ago. Well they are all covered with that white four letter word again.
Two: The only signs of Spring now are the flowers I bought for myself.
Three: It was 3 weeks ago that I came down with this virus, cold, crud, whatever it is. I still have it but it is much better since I got some antibiotics from my doctor. It really zapped my energy and I have not felt like doing a darn thing for those 3 weeks.
Four: I told you I would let you know about the results of my medical tests. Well they are inconclusive. I have spots on my lungs that we thought was my thyroid cancer spreading to them. But the tests didn't show that it was thyroid cancer so now we don't know what it is. Is it an infection or another type of cancer? My doctor is sending me to an oncologist at Mayo Clinic. I have an appointment set up for the middle of April.
Five: I read Nora Robert's book "The Next Always" while laying on the couch these last weeks. It is book one in the "Inn Boonsboro Triolgy". It was nothing too exciting but I am going to read book two, "The Last Boyfriend". I just picked it up from the library so you know what I'll be doing this weekend. These old eyes are loving the large print books.
Head on over to A Rural Journal to see what other random things are happening in Blogland.
Thanks for all you thoughts, prayers, and kind comments on my last post. Thanks to my new followers too.
See you again soon!
Barb

Hi Barb, I was thinking of you earlier today. I hope it will be of comfort that a friend of mine had spots on her lungs and it turned out to be just scar tissue. I certainly will be praying for you as you go for further testing at the Mayo Clinic. That is a pretty bouquet of flowers. I hope that you will enjoy your new book.
oh, sweetie! #4 is very scary! i hope all will be well - hoping, as mildred said - yours will be okay!
Prayers for you Barb as you wait for your appointment at Mayo.
Nora Roberts gets me hooked on her trilogy books too.
Prayers, Barb! We found out in February that my husband's cancer went to his lungs. He had his second treatment yesterday. I hope your issue is something much less serious.
Barb, I am keeping my fingers crossed and my toes, too... and adding a prayer or two that the spots on your lung is absolutely NOTHING!! Hugs.
I often buy myself flowers for a perk up! I hope it all goes well at Mayo, gosh how scary.
My thoughts and prayers are with your Barb. XO
Thinking of you, Barb. Stay positive.

Your flowers are so pretty! I need to buy myself some. Prayers for your upcoming tests! Glad you are getting over the "crud"!

Oh goodness- not the dreaded SNOW! I'd send some warmth to melt it, but some storms may get tangled up in that, so better not. I will send prayers for sure. I hope it is nothing to worry about.
Barb, I am sorry to hear that you have to go through more tests and that the others are inconclusive. I'll be praying for you that you will get some answers soon and for complete healing. God's blessings on you, my friend. Hugs. Pam
I am sending good thoughts and pray that your tests come back favorably. Flowers are a great idea for bringing a little spring to the winter that just won't end. Take care!
I've had the crud, too, Barb. Want it to go away. I'm so sorry about your test results. I am sending up healing prayers for you. xo Laura
Oh this crud that people have been getting. It sure can lay a person low. Glad that you did just that because there's nothing worse than a gal who won't get her rest. Praying for a good report from Mayo Clinic. Until then, read and recover from the bug that got you. That snow will be a thing of distant memory soon. (We are expecting more here overnight. Whatever! We grin; we bear it; what else can we do? )
That crud is everywhere this year. Glad the antibiotics have helped. I have a friend who is dealing with thyroid cancer that spread to the lungs. Praying they discover what the spots are. I have another friend who also had spots and hers turned out to be scar tissue.
Do you remember last year when I won some notecards from you? I've so enjoyed using them. Just today I sent another one with a photo of flowers. Like you, that's the only cheery Spring thing around here.
Praying for you!
Hi Barb; your jug of flowers is very Spring like; bringing it indoors to enjoy since it's not happening outside for you now. Hopefully you will start picking up real soon with the a.bios. My thoughts are with you as you have further tests Barb' -- it is a weight on your shoulders right now I understand. Best wishes.
I'm glad you are beginning to feel better, and will be thinking of you as you go for more tests - the waiting is always the hardest part for me - I like to know and get on with things. Hoping for the best and sending good thoughts.
Send prayers your way for a clean bill of health. Enjoy reading that second book.
Barb, I too, have been thinking about you over the past few weeks and have been checking in to see if you had any news. Of course, I hope all of your tests are negative. Big hugs and I appreciate the time you took to join in at R5F and to update us. xo
Best wishes for all negative findings on future tests.
Dear Barb, I hope you get over that crud soon and get rested up. And I will be praying that you hear good news from your tests when you go to the Mayo Clinic. Take care of yourself!
A lot of people we know have that terrible crud. I do hope you get some answers on your next dr. appointment and that it is nothing to worry about. Please keep us posted. I will pray for you.
i'll be praying for a positive outcome...i read a trilogy by nora roberts that i really liked, black dahlia or something like that!
Hi Barb,
I'm praying you get nothing but good news from all your tests.
Take care of yourself and enjoy some good reading.
Hugs~ Dorothy
Thinking of you, Barb, and sending healing thoughts and prayers your way. Hoping you get some warmer weather to lift your spirits. Your flowers are lovely. Love Nora Roberts, too. A hug xo Karen
Oh Barb, my thoughts and prayers are with you!
I am just catching up on blog reading Barb after my nasty virus and I am so sorry to read about your tests. My prayers are with you for your appointment xx
Glad you're coming out of that nastiness that laid you low. I'll be praying for you and the doctors at Mayo as they try to determine what's going on with your lungs. Many blessings.
oohhhhh #4, awwwww sending you hugs and good wishes!!
the flowers are sooo beautiful!!
i am ao happy to see you today!!
oh, i love Nora Roberts. her books are so much fun to read.
please keep us posted. thinking about ya. have a great week. ( :
Hope the spots on your lungs turn out to be nothing serious!
Morning Barb...it's been awhile that I've been away from blogging again...lots of family matters etc. I was so sorry to hear about what you have been dealing with the past few weeks and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope that you are feeling better and I hope that your appointment at the Cancer center proves to be a positive result. Sending you love and hugs and good vibes too that you will be all right.
Hope you are feeling better. Please keep us posted and will be thinking about you. Janice
Oh dear! I am sending positive thoughts your way!
I am certain that Mayo will sort everything out for you! I am saying a prayer for good news! I think you might be getting a storm tomorrow with more white stuff...it is missing me:) :)
Hi Barb, you have been on my mind. I have to tell you. My hubby also had a spot on his lung xrays. Waited and watched, they took xrays again and they were gone. Doctor said it was scar tissue from having had bronchitis so many times. He said sometimes it shows up as spots on the lungs. I hope your next visit with the specialist can get to the exact reasons for you. Praying for you and all to be well.
Lovely pitcher of spring blooms.
Hugs and Blessings.
First of all, I hope that all goes well for you at the Mayo Clinic. I understand that it has an excellent reputation. I also hope your bug vanishes soon.
On a cheerier note, the bouquet of flowers in beautiful. I love yellow!
Take care, Barb.
Fondly,
Karen
Well, now we know all about you. Sorry about your health problems. I had a little skin cancer taken off and the divot they took is not healing.
I am sorry you are still not feeling better, I hope you recover soon.. My Nephew and his wife have stayed in the Nora Robert's Bed & Breakfast here in Boonsboro, Md.. They enjoyed their visit. Take care and have a happy wek!
Dearest Barb;
I'm so sorry to hear about your physical condition is not so well!!! One of your friend mentioned here that the hospital you are seeing has good reputation. My healing thoughts for you. Take Good Care of Yourself.
Thank you very much for stopping by; Night Night from Japan.
Lots of Love and Hugs, xoxo Miyako*
So sorry you've been ill!! It's a good thing I pop around once in awhile to catch up, huh? Good luck with your tests. We went through this with my mom a while ago. Those spots can fool a lot of Dr.s and they love to run tests. It turned out to be just an infection, much hoopla over nothing. Wishing you the best! Your body's telling you to rest so listen up (that's what I tell my mom :)
p.s. buy yourself some more flowers too! you deserve them.
Just thinking of you today! Prayers and blessings to you!
Barb, hoping tests turn out to be "nothing much"; you're tucked in prayer. Good for buying yourself flowers; I'm going to do the same tomorrow. Or else cut the daffs from the garden.
