Doctor's Visit

Hey guys,

I hope all is well with everybody. I went to the doctor today for my results from the CT SCAN last Thursday. Doctor stated he hasn't looked at them personally, but the radiologist wrote in his notes everything appears to be clear and there doesn't seem to be anything questionable in the scan. The doctor did say the mass obviously didn't grow over night so he wants to keep a watch on it and maybe check things every 6 months or so just to keep me healthy.

The doctor checked my incision area making sure there wasn't any tenderness. I showed him the one place that hasn't closed up completely. He said it looks fine and seems to be healing slower. He noticed that a little piece of tissue was sticking out pass the skin keeping the skin from closing over the top. He used a long match like thing (I think he called it silver chloride or something)to wipe on the wound after wetting it with water and burned the piece of tissue so he could take the tissue out making the hole deeper so the skin would close over the top. This stuff burned like a small fire for a while, but if it helps to heal it faster I'm all for it. He said he was very happy how everything is going and doesn't anticipate any problems.

He said I need to keep my weight in check. He noticed I have gained a little since the last doctor's appointment. The scale (that lying thing..lol) showed that I weighed 269 pounds which is not to high, but he wants me to stay about 235-250 in that range. I agreed. He asked if I had been working out. I said cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, washing clothes, etc. He said no a workout. I'm like it's a workout (LOL). I told him he told me not to pick up over 20 pounds until I was instructed by him. He said everything seems to be healing fine to start walking more briskly, jogging, bicycling, treadmill, or something and began lifting weights more.

I said, "I'm ready to go back to work". He said we need to get your strength and energy levels back up before you can go back to work. He don't want me to go to work and hurt myself doing something my body wasn't ready to do. He said then just get in the gym or something to get active and it shouldn't take long. I'm there....lol anything to help me get back to work. I really miss being on the streets.

Again, I wanna thank EVERYONE for all of their LOVE, PRAYERS, and SUPPORT through all of the different things that my family and I have been through.

All of this would not have been possible without God. I want you to know He is and always will be #1 and deserves all the PRAISE, HONOR, and GLORY.

The best thing about all of this is the devil lost another battle. I don't know why he keeps trying, God is ALWAYS gonna WIN!

Thanks again to all with most love,

Shelby
