please feel free to explain to the board if you would. i will not mind. just finished bbq'ing chicken and had a chance to fish for a little bit today. waters were messed up here in NC Morehead area with incoming Jeanne. lots of seaweed. fish are there but conditions just not right. anyhow, it was the first chance we've had to fish since hot weather/getting a new puppy and training him. he's doing really great by the way! sorry for no cap letters. don't have time .... test today was a renal cat scan where the radioactive dye is inserted into the vein for pictures Xray. doctors were wonderful! will elaborate later on this. still have to get that nasty one I am not looking forward to....cystoscopy where I assume a pencil diameter scope is inserted into the urinary area and scoped with a lense. Yup....honey....I remember you talking about this so I am not real happy about it but, heah...I has to be done. tests today showed nothing and I was in there an hour total. no pain today and doctors are really concerned about pain nowadays and doing these tests. God my little corpsman was from Montana and he did such a good job inserting the IV. I cannot explain the blood clots in the urine Aunt Joyce and they will figure it out but I am still worried a little. In the meantime my sweet husband is doing dishes and my dog is being by my side. I love you and hope this answers your questions. I would have called but with doing chicken and all that has happened today I could not talk much more on the phone. Gary called and I gave him a few minutes. Love you...Glenda
