Thanks, everyone! I called and made an appointment for next Friday. I am waiting to hear if he wants me to have a repeat scan just before the appointment. I will surely keep you all posted. I am also going to put in a request for some stronger pain meds, as I don't think taking so much Advil, plus having to piggyback the Tylenol #3 is good in effectively (barely) managing my pain. I don't want to seem like a med-seeker, because I am not, but this current plan is not working.

I'm trying to stay calm. I am doing okay for the most part. I sometimes just get a little crazy.

I would be lost without you wonderful people! xoxo, Kerri
