Anxious...

Sorry it's been so long, I've been kind of busy.

I went to a book release on the 1st for Stephenie Meyer's new book Breaking Dawn. So far so good on the book !! =]
I finished my first book that I had to read for school, and I am now halfway through my second book, which I'm hoping to finish by tomorrow, then I'll have 4 days to read another book [[I have faith that I can do it !!]].
I went to the doctor and had an MRI done on my back [[I don't think I talked about this already, if I have, I apologise]] to see if I have Degenerative Disk Disease. Well, I don't, as I've found out today. They can't see anything arthritic either, so thats good. =] My back is completely fine, there's nothing wrong with it except for the fact that my neck being backwards caused my spine to be straight - but that doesn't seem to be a big concern. So praise the LORD on that !!

But I DO need prayer. I questioned about pain that I've been having in my knees, and they took X-Rays. At first glance, they seemed to be perfectly normal, however... at a closer look the Nurse Practitioner noticed a shadow of something just below my left kneecap and just above my right. She talked to my doctor about it and she said that they appear to be cists [[I think thats how you spell it...]]. That got me slightly concerned, even though there's a VERY high chance it will be benign. I'm going, on Thursday, to have a bone scan done. Pretty much, they're going to inject my knees with dye, let it soak in for 3 hours [[of which I'm allowed to leave and go home or go shopping or something]], then come back and they'll do an x-ray on it or something like that. Then, if there are any effected areas, the dye will have covered it. The cists will do 1 of 3 things:
1. It will be benign and go away on its own
2. It will be benign and remain there for the rest of my life unless they remove it; or,
3. It will be malignant.
Now, the chances of 1 and 2 are significantly higher than the chances of me having bone cancer, BUT I still would like prayer on this subject, please? There's really been nothing else exciting going on in my life other than this. Thank you for reading, God Bless, and have an AMAZING evening !!


Love always,
Michelle
