gail Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Got a phone call 45 minutes ago to call the nurse. She said nothing else. No, "everything is fine", "it was a fractured rib". Telling myself--if it was bad, the doctor would call. I've got 18 kids here, and I'm stroking out! Not really but, I will call at 2:00 when I am done for the day. Said to myself, what do I do until then??? Tell my friends here!!! Thanks guys--more later. gail Quote
MilliBr1 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Oh Gail, nothing worse than waiting! Prayers all is fine and that you can make it till 2pm. Quote
Tami Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I'll be praying for your good results and I agree "when it was bad the doctor always called me himself!" I will be expecting an update this afternoon Hang in there! Tami Quote

dchurchi Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Praying everything will be just fine Please let us know what the results are Quote
melindasue37 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Gail, 18 kids....holy smokes!!!! If that won't keep your mind occupied I'm not sure WHAT WILL!!! On a more serious note, we all know how extremely hard it is to wait. Just stay optimistic and we'll all cross our fingers and wait for the results from you. Prayers, prayers and more prayers coming your way. Warm Hugs, Melinda Quote
Fall54 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Dear Gail, I also think if it were bad you're DR would call and not the nurse. I am sorry you have to wait to hear and please know you are in my prayers. God Bless You, Jane Quote
Ann Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Saying prayers and waiting to hear. As for the 18 kids...better you than me! There is definitely a reason that God allows women to have babies when they're young. Looking back, I have no idea how I handles having 3 little ones that were like stairsteps!!! You deserve a medal!

gail Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 The 18 kids are students, not my own!!!! But they are all 8 years old. And very full of energy. gail Quote
gail Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 The drama has ended. Rib xray showed an old fracture. Dr. wanted nurse to find out if I still had pain. Answer: NO So probably did fracture rib during coughing fit. Which means my multi-nodular goiter will probably be removed in the next 6 months since it restricts my windpipe when laying down (hence the coughing) She reassured me that the rib xray would have picked up trouble if it was there. You guys are the best. You were my lifeline through the hours. gail Quote
Tami Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Gail!! Sometimes even a rib fracture can feel like a good thing... I have a few myself. So very happy that this is one thing that you can put to rest. Glad the pain is gone and your mind has been eased. this place truely is a lifeline. Tami Quote
