Hubby got a dose of how I've been treated.

By the same jerk doc that gave me a lot of crap if you guys remember?

He has to have a 'profile' saying he can't do PT - and he's been going to San Diego for tests, etc. The 'great':mad: doc here decided there is NOTHING wrong with him...and tells him so.

We got the results of his MRA back - and there *IS* a labral tear in his hip. We're waiting to see when surgery will be.

Luckily my folks will come out - mom will stay here so the boys can go to school - and dad will drive (cause I'm scared of the mountains and city traffic - I'm a wimp...after rush hour consisting of about 20 cars for the past 10 years or so....). Cause he'll have to have surgery in San Diego. Plus my dad's brother lives there now - so we'll go out for a nice lunch or dinner!! I just got to see them last summer - but that was first time to see them since probably '93?

I'm doing OK I guess. going to gastro Thursday. Hematologist the 21st. He mentioned maybe leukemia. But with all the 'maybe you haves' they've thrown around - I'm not taking it very seriously.

That is sweet of your parents, CF :).

I hope things go well for you at your appointment on Thursday, and it turns out as you said and isn't the "L" word. You are right: Docs do tend to put everything on the table - maybe to assure that not doing so won't turn around and bite them/their insurance in the wallet.

CF it is nice of your parents to come out. I hope you prove the doctors wrong about 'L' because you are right they seem to just through anything out there. Spinal cancer was talked about before my thoracic fusion but of course no cancer just bad genetics.

CF I think it's great that your parents are being so helpful.

The doctors thought I had bladder cancer before I got my real diagnoses so I'm glad that your taking the wait and see attitude.

Take Care,

CF, have you heard any thing back from the blood work yet?

[suede]

CF,

So sorry I missed this, know you and DH are in my thoughts.

As Bobbi said it's really great you have parents that will help,
Forgive me for feeling this but I have always been envious of people with parents to help.
My Mom died right after I turned 16 and became a Mother for the first time and it seems I have spent forever being the parent (caretaker) as she was ill for a lifetime before she passed away.

Know you are both in my thoughts, and enjoy the nice meal with your Uncle, family is so important.

I'm so sorry Linda...I can't imagine losing mine - and they are 62 & 63 now...

My hubby has parents who can barely manage to call him on his birthday - and in 11 (almost) yrs of marriage - they've visited once....My parents don't know hubby's family - except a few of hubby's little brothers (quick meeting)....poor hubby said he wished he had my parents.

Don't know which is worse - parents who are so self absorbed (and one on illegal drugs, one is always on a ton of pain meds and out of it most of the time) or ones that are guardian angels (such as yours).
