Watchful Waiting
Thank you for your good thoughts and messages. I felt their power.
My left arm aches from all the poking and drawing of blood. However, I did get some decent news. For now the plan of action is to watchfully wait. I am going to return in three months for another round of test to see if my counts continue to rise. Since I do not have other symptoms and I feel pretty well, they are not concerned that it is a dire disease.
It was hard to be in the oncology unit. I thought that I was going to cry several times. This was the first time I had gone to such a place alone. I do not think that I like the lone solider image of adulthood. Next time, I will ask a friend to go with me.
As a slight diversion, *Sunday* called twice today. Once in the morning to find out the time of my appointment and once after to find out how everything went. It was nice to know that he cares.

I'm so, so sorry to hear that you have been through this. I have been through my share of medical mysteries, because of the celiac disease, and I know how scary and sad it is to sit in that hospital, waiting. It sounds as though you received good news, however. Keep breathing.
