Ultrasounds, Schedule and a Favor

Jill asked how my ultrasounds when on Friday and I thought I should blog. Apparently when you have an ovary ultrasound you need to have a completely full bladder. Problem was, I forgot about the appointment until 20 minutes before I was supposed to be there! So I was guzzling water on the way to try and fill my bladder, but it wasn't enough so they had to reschedule it. Boo! She did manage to get the kidney portion done however, so that's something at least. My oncologist will be calling with the results as she gets them.

It seems like every week since my diagnosis I've had a lot of doctor appointments. So much so that when the weekend roles around and I'm not rushing to appointments or waiting for phone calls from doctors that it seems strange! Here's my schedule and I'm going to throw some fun stuff in there too so you guys know I'm not just sittin' at home wallowing in self-pity (that comes later):

Sun Aug 12: Daughtry concert at the fair
Mon Aug 13: Consultation with new surgeon re surgery (SIU)
Tues Aug 14: Ovary Ultrasound (Spfld Clinic on 7th)
Wed Aug 15: Consultation with plastic surgeon re surgery (her office behind TGIF)
Wed Aug 15: Lisa's Spa Party
Tues Aug 21: Surgery

There will be one to two post op visits with the surgeon after surgery, and then in September I'll be starting chemo.

Again thanks to everyone for reading! All of you have been asking if there is anything you could do to help and now there actually IS something you can do to help me! You can go to http://illinoistimes.com/gyrobase/ and vote for Broken Stone as best cover band and rock band in Springfield for 2007! Just click on the pic in the right menu that says "BEST OF SPRINGFIELD 2007 - CLICK TO VOTE." You don't need to vote on every single category - I think you just need to fill in ten blanks for it to work. Imagine when I'm all laid up on the couch, bald, nauseous, and wallowing - - but then husband brings the Illinois Times to me and I see that his band has won best band! WOW! What an instand PICK-ME-UP!! :)
