Things challenge my strength and positive attitude moment by moment these days but I’m hangin’ in and on because I trust that the Lord yet has some purpose in my being here still. I am currently not at all happy however with my doctor’s attitude nor seeming lack of concern about how I feel and/or the ultimate outcome. This last week she made a decision that caused my hemoglobin to plummet to a dangerously low number that could have put my life in serious jeopardy, and it has left me very weak even after the two blood transfusions I got on Tuesday. So since I still haven’t begun to feel a whole lot better and after my sister’s insistent pleading, I’m going to travel to Dallas on the 28th to see one of two doctors at UT SOUTHWESTERN who specialize in this thing called myelodysplastic syndrome to get another opinion.
