More prayers answered today! They were able to do the muscle biopsy in my quad today and not wait until tomorrow. The surgeon also took the sample from another part of my quad from where he originally marked on Saturday...another answer to prayer. I had prayed even though "x marked the spot" the HE would move the spot to get the best sample...guess what!?! The actual procedure took about 20 minutes and then 15 minutes to stitch me up. Now, pray that the lab techs will correctly handle the sample. At one point there were 8 nurses surrounding the foot of my bed. I'm not sure if they came to see the "book" of all my results or they wanted to see the gal who really need a hair light....hee hee!
The result of the skin biopsy already came back and it was consistent with the Dermatomyositis diagnosis. I met with the opthamologist again to figure out my right eye situation. She basically increased my glasses Rx, but isn't going to change my contacts Rx due to her feeling the muscle weakness that I'm having all over my body is affecting the comfort level of my contacts. Tomorrow, I'll have a bone density test, sonogram of abdomen again, cancer screening from the ENT, remember the doctor who flipped me upside down?!?), and start me back on oral steroids.
"Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and HE shall strengthen your heart: Wait, I say, on the Lord!" Ps. 27:14
"Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." Eph. 3:20
Please lift up my mom in your prayers today, too. She's undergoing back surgery today (as in 7:30am central time zone) and will be in the hospital for at least 3-4 days herself! Requests: steady hand for surgeon, no complications, and a very speedy recovery so she can walk again without pain!
