A Very Slow Path to a Diagnosis

4/21/12


I was away this day taking Level 3 Healing Touch classes in Wheaton, Il . Came home after a 10 hr class and had to take My Hubby, Larry, to the ER@Lutheran General Hospital. He had fallen down a few steps earlier that day carrying laundry. He did not feel he had hurt himself until the pain became intense that evening. He waited for me to come home instead of calling me. Typical Larry, not wanting to bother anyone.

After an xray, it was found he had a broken rib. The ER Dr also felt we should wait around and get a CT to make sure his lungs were not hurt with the fall. She came back into our curtained space around 3am to tell us that his lungs were clear but they had found a pseudo cyst on his pancreas. He was released with instructions to see his family Dr. when convenient. No urgency was ever put on this cyst.

Larry of course told everyone that he no longer has to do any laundry because it is much too dangerous for him!

I took more weekend classes, Larry finished his semester teaching, we went to a wonderful Yanni concert. We were also looking forward to leaving for a family vacation in Florida on Mother's Day.
