From the frying pan into the fire

 

Notbillybob had just visited the radiology records dept. at Anschutz aka the "U", and was scurrying to make it to his hepatology appt on time, you know, reading while walking briskly, reading, skimming over the boring parts, yada yada, There was a hepatology appointment, followed immediately with an appointment with the pre-admissions clinic, but back to the radiology report...

He started reading the paper, wondering what the news would be...  

66 minutes after IV tracer was administrated, bla bla, CT images were reconstructed in the axial, coronal and sagittal views...sure, yeah, width wise, lengthwise, and sideways... where is the news, where are the results of yesterdays scan?  And then he saw the words on the paper, right at the bottom of the first page...h h holy crap! Can... not... breath, hearts... pounding...ringing in his ears...

Feeling faint, that metallic taste spreading in his mouth...

A NEW DESTRUCTIVE LESION IN THE RIGHT SCAPULA INCLUDING ANOTHER PATHOLIGIC FRACTURE THROUGH AND THROUGH THE BONE, ............

ANOTHER LESION, IN THE

THE GREATER SPHENOID WING

  (THATS IN THE RIGHT SCULL BASE!!!), OBLITERATION OF THE RIGHT FORAMEN OVALE, FORAMEN SPINOSUM, AND THE PETROUS CAROTID CANAL.......CAROTID????

"> THE GREATER SPHENOID WING IS A BONE

RIGHT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SCULL  RIGHT BEHIND THE EYES....HOLY SHIT.....(BROKEN SHARDS OF BONE RIGHT ON TOP OF HIS BRAIN...TOUCHING IT...

.......WTF..... GONNA 

FAINT 

RIGHT THERE 

IN THE ELEVATOR 

BETWEEN THE 3RD AND 4TH FLOORS...

 

 

 





 





 

 

 

He and Princepessa had to sit down on a bench in the hall to catch thier breath and read it again, slooowly, 

 

 

 

" please google this word, hun...



 

 

 

 

 

GREATER SPHENOID WING........

 please...google... it...     his mouth full of cottenballs suddenly...

There's  been a lot of pain in the right shoulder, sure but he thought it was from using only the right hand and arm. But there was a *crack* sound last week trying to push up off the bed. Now he's been getting Principessa to help him get out of bed. But it explains the cracking noise. This marks the third bone he's broken doing something normal.

Princepessa is sobbing... she's been helping him get out of bed these days. doing ALL the driving, cooking, laundry, 

but then

She's been doing everything since he broke his left arm, all though he did mow the lawn last week. But he didn't know it was broken. So, where do we go from here? I guess take one thing at a time, and don't look too far forward or it will drive him crazy. He was rather worried about Thursdays surgery, but now it seems minor compared to the fight ahead. Four lesions.  Wondering if this will change his chemo tharapy drugs. Drugs which cost ...wait for it....

 $13,000.59!!!!!

59 put in there for levity...but really, 13 grand?????????

 

Stay tuned and thanks for all the moral support kind words and your thoughts and prayers. It does help a lot. Billybob for Notbillybob 3:31 am Tuesday July16,
