I waited to say anything.....

Hi my Streak family...
I have waited quite some time because I wanted to be sure this wasn't "nothing"... I have been sick for quite some time now (this isn't my usual disability issues.. it's something more) and I would love for you all to just keep me in your prayers please.
I don't know if you noticed my "mood" has been on "sick" for months now. I have been losing the feeling in my legs the past few months, so they repeated my MRI to see what is going on. My back problems have been there for years, and I already knew that I had herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, etc etc, and I knew that there were bone fragments floating around in my spine...which is why they can't operate. one of these bone fragments has "shifted to the right" which is causing my legs to go numb. HOWEVER that's NOT the problem I am posting about.
apparently they found a mass inside my right kidney when they did this most recent MRI, this "cyst" has "thickening walls"... so they sent me for more specific imaging and unfortunately they find that it "needs further study" and they are sending me to a kidney center. :think

I thought when I went to the doctor the other day she would say "it's nothing to worry about... go home" but I didn't hear that! So... I am trying to be strong and keep most of this to myself so I don't worry my boys (even though they are older now).
Thank you to all of you who keep me in your prayers. I will keep you updated, but this is why I haven't been on as often as I was before. It's painful, causes nausea and so many other symptoms.
I didn't want to complain... but I think I need your prayers.
thanks everyone!!

Thanks guys so much!! :)HG

Pixie... I sent you a PM.. and you are absolutely right about that phrase "he never gives us more than we can handle" .. the ONLY ones you ever hear who say that phrase are people who don't have to face issue after issue, on and on!!

Dont worry everyone... I certainly haven't given up to the thought that it may be the worst! we know it's not the best, but hopefully it's somewhere in between! :think

Gosh.. we went from 50 degrees to freezing in the matter of a few hours! :frozen

thanks again everyone!! love you all!! :)HG
