Health Issues: I haven’t said anything but it appears I may have a significant health issue at hand. This Wednesday I’m having an MRI a couple hours south of me. No health insurance but doing the best I can. A few months ago I began to have severe abdominal pain after doing plumbing work in the cabin. It went away fairly quickly, however, I feel fairly full after eating or drinking very little. I self-diagnosed and then went to see a doctor who confirmed that I had an enlarged spleen. A CT scan confirmed and now an MRI will provide more information as to whether or not surgery is needed. It appears that while doing the plumbing work I injured the spleen leaning over counters and wood-edges.
At this point all I can say is this sucks.
I have no health insurance as my current job told me they would provide it but it never happened. I’ve been doing better over the past several weeks and well – we’ll see what the MRI says.
I believe in God. I believe in the power of prayer. I also believe that whatever is going to happen will happen.
I’d appreciate any prayers that you may be willing to bring forth.
At 54 and having lived a life where fitness was a big goal it’s extremely frustrating to find myself in this situation. Beyond frustrating, really.
You know what I worry about the most? Who will look after those I love when I’m gone? That’s all I care about.
I wish Arlene and JBernDrApt were still around to lend their advice.
Thanks.
