Sh**!

Sh**! Sh**! Sh**!

That's all I could think. My doctors office called me today and they found something wrong on the MRI but they won't talk to me about it over the phone. He wants to see me ASAP, so i have an appointment to go in on friday and see him. I told the woman who called that this will drive me crazy all week, and I would like to talk to him and have him tell me what he found over the phone, but she wouldn't do it. So I will be a little crazy for the next few days.

Put a big pot of water on the stove and watch it until it boils!!lol It takes forever. I hate that phone call, Worry is lack of faith, as it is said, and it is hell trying to come up with what is going to happen. So I'll say what is always said and I say this alot, Just For Today I will have faith in someone in NA who believes in me and wants to help me in my recovery. You're doing just that, Its out of your hands right now, I'll be praying for you!!

Thank you all for the support.

I have been going through the process of trying to turn it over. I talked to my sponsor, talked to a few other recovering addicts, posted here, and of course prayed. I seem to be having longer times of relief today than yesterday. And if I continue to go through the process, tomorrow will be even better. I went to a meeting tonite and it was on the 3rd step, just what my higher power ordered.

I love you all.

Laurie D.

((Laurie)) My prayers are with you. Waiting is the hardest part. I know it's hard but try to keep a positive outlook. It will make a difference when you learn your results. I believe that. The sun will shine for you tomorrow...

Sigh of Relief.

I already posted this in the women's forum, and I will post again here.

It is not as bad as his staff (kim) made it out to be. In fact it is nothing to worry about at all. Basically, a pimple in my uterus (I didn't know that you could get internal acne), and "functional" cysts on my ovaries. Now we can get down to the business of treating the original problem. I am going to have minor surgery in Sept., but again nothing serious. I will only have to miss a few days of work.

I want to thank you all for the love and support.

I mentioned this in WIR, I shared about this at a couple of meetings this week, and only 2 people, my sponsor (who wasn't at the meetings) and 1 of my sponsees, has called to ask how I am doing. Not even the person who is supposed to be my best friend. This bothered me more than the situation itself. Where is the supportive NA that used to be here? I recieved so much love and support here at SR, I wish we could all live near each other, and start our own Area.lol

Glad it was good news, Laurie, or at least not bad news. I know what it's like to wait on medical test results. I think that's what kick started my addiction again, a few years back. Talk about worrying yourself sick!

I'm glad it's over for you. This is a great place.

Glad to hear the good news Laurie. And I agree that it would be great if we all lived close enough to have our own Area. There is a ton of support here and a bunch of wonderful people, that's why I keep coming back. Love ya!

Its not a localized phenomena with your area Laurie. I think that the convenience of the net contributes to the feeling of support we seem t feel here that may be lacking in our real time relationships. My sponsor and I talk on the phone quite a bit, but we seem to call each other when one of us needs to get out the door or has something on the stove or such things like that. Here we can drop off our message of concern and there it is waiting for us when we jump back online. I bet if we were all close enough to get together for face to face meetings, we'd have a tough time finding enough common time to conduct our area business.

I caught heck today for being scarce when I caught the nooner with GOMS.
