Though not a hockey fan, we completed our third clear MRI yesterday. Hurrah. (A hat trick is 3 goals in one game)
To celebrate, we spent quality time at the TMC ER. I've had two problems that my oncologist is concerned about and so he wanted additional testing. I am a little unsteady on my feet and also experience shortness of breath. These are symptoms of blood clots which are common side effects of the chemo treatment I am currently undergoing.
We had an x-ray of my lungs, a CT scan with iodine, a Doppler ultrasound of my legs, an EKG, two IVs, and whatever else they could think of. I was running out of veins for them to poke. In the end, after 9 hours, no blood clots, anywhere. We are grateful for all of the good medical staff that helped us.
I gave a talk in church on Sunday. I talked about experiences in my life that strengthened my testimony of Christ. I also spoke of faith (choice/free agency), repentance (changing who I am), and the atonement (guilt is over rated). I hope I was helpful.
Today I read aloud page 458 of 531 of the Book of Mormon. After Christ's visit in the new world (America) and establishing apostles, Christ teaches the apostles that the the church shall be named after Him. When the Apostles call upon the Father, for the church, if it be in my name the Father will hear you.
Thanks Melody for helping get all these medical details correct.
