Feeling Blessed

Another test is in the books.  Completed my pulmonary function test yesterday at the Kaiser Office downtown.  Funny thing was that I had the exact same "tech" as I did 6 months ago and she remembered me, asked about my mom (who went with me last time) and she even asked about Scott!  I swear, I have met some of the most amazing, genuine and caring medical assistants, nurses, and doctors throughout this past year!

My "official results" for the pulmonary function test aren't back yet (we have to wait for the doctor to interpret them) but the tech who did my tests said that she didn't see any major difference from the test I did yesterday when she compared it to the test I did 6 months ago...so that is promising!  I am hoping for "same as last time" with all of my tests.  I saw Dr. Liel on Monday this week and she said that my DEXA (bone density) results looked good (aka: same as last time) and that there hasn't been any major progression in my osteopenia...so that makes me happy!

I have my bone marrow biopsy scheduled for Monday April 7th.  MIL (Judy) will be coming up from Pueblo to help care for Scotty on Monday & Tuesday since I'll be at the hospital with John all afternoon on Monday and then I'll be sore on Tuesday.  Thank goodness for family who live nearby and want to come watch the munchkin for us. :-) 

I am in "week 3" of my return to work and it is so nice to be back with my friends/coworkers!  It feels great to be working again, even if its only 15-20 hrs per week!  Honestly, that is about all I can handle right now because I have so many other doctors appointments during the week right now.  Hopefully, come May/June the amount of visits to the doctor each week will slow down and I'll be able to increase my hours at work at that time!  I think I could probably handle it energy-wise right now, but I am heeding Dr. Nash's advice and taking my return to work slowly.  Good ol' cautious/conservative Dr. Nash ;-)  lol

Not much else is going on in the Voss household recently.  We are simply adjusting to the "new normal" now that we have found another daycare provider for Scott.  Its so nice to feel like we are finally establishing our little family routines.  My "boys" (John, Scott & Jackpot) keep me constantly entertained and smiling.  I am such a lucky girl!!!
