The doctor did get my tests back today and things seem to be fine. Things are all well within normal and I apparently don't have anything seriously wrong. I do praise God for that. In fact, after ginning up all this prayer support, I am a bit embarrassed not to have bad news, because things seemed very dire Monday night and again this morning. I am not the sort to go to a doctor, and certainly not the emergency room, without profoundly good cause. I was very afraid of what I was experiencing.
There are a few little things, not including my not-so-little (but shrinking!) waistline, that I'll have to talk over with my endocrinologist during our regular, yearly appointment next Tuesday, but otherwise, I seem to be fine. I deeply appreciate all your prayers and support.
Thanks so much for your support. I meant and means a lot.
I do need some rest, to take a break from pen making and other things, and to make some "lifestyle" changes, as they say, but ...
