I'm all right

Just to set the records straight, I am really doing all right. I went into the ER on Sunday afternoon because I had a killer of a headache. I was nauseated and felt like I had creepy crawlies in my hair. They did a CAT scan and found that I have fluid at the base of my lower brain. They said this normally is nothing but they wanted to follow it up. I would have suffered through my headache as I always did but, when I went to the eye doctor for pain in my left eye, he cautioned me that my optic nerves looked not right. If I had headache, nausea or vomiting and creepy crawlies on my head to go to the ER right away. He scared me and as I tried to get past the pain Sunday by laying down his words kept going through my head. So, I told Joe we should go. Anyway, I have to go back for an MRI on the 24th and next tuesday I go back to the eye clinic for a side vision test. The doctor that saw me at the eye clinic yesterday told me that my optic nerves looked discolored so this test is for that. I go to see the neurosurgeon February 15th and that will tell me a little bit more. So, I will move forward in the state of denial until I am given reason for anything else. But, while I move forward I request your prayers that this will all turn out to be nothing. Thanks to all who have called and most of all those who have lifted me up in prayer.
