I've posted before that I have been concerned about my 10 yr ds weight. He is active, eats well (I mean he does love food but I follow and cook a ww diet for the whole family) yet he carries a lot of excess weight.
So I took him to our doctor who, because our son is adopted and I have no medical background info., said it would be prudent to rule out things like thyroid, diabetes, etc. He didn't thinks so but just in case. So today the office called and said it wasn't an emergency but could I bring him in next week to go over the lab results. We go Tuesday a.m. Of course the only thing I'm doing is speculating and I'm speculating that the doctor is going to say that if the kid continues this way we're heading in the diabetic direction. My poor child because if this happens I know my personality and I'll become a drill seargent with food. I'm going to really pray that God gives me grace and balance in this situation. Of course I'm speculating.
Then my sister-in-law who is undergoing breast cancer treatment is waiting for the results of some biopsy's they took yesterday because she found some weird growths that the oncologist couldn't readily diagnose. This just as she has completed her chemo and is awaiting radiation.
And my dog is dying and we live in a rural area where the only vet in our town died two weeks ago and the vet we usually go to in the neighbouring community is gone for two weeks and the only other vet in the entire region is booked solid for a week -- even for emergencies -- which he's not taking!!
I just needed to vent all these things before I tackle latin.
When it rains, it pours. I am going for a long run this afternoon.
