Having Randy and the girls home today due to a snow day was a treat. We all stayed snug in our beds much longer than a normal school day! I had a chance to get to MVP and had a nice workout and talked to a few friends there. The early part of the afternoon the girls and I did some shopping, but we didn't find much! Randy took me to the hospital this afternoon as I had a to have a MUGA test done. Per the internet, the definition of a MUGA is as follows: The MUGA scan (MUltiple Gated Acquisition scan) is a noninvasive test that produces a moving image of the heart. From this image, the health of the heart’s major pumping chamber (the left ventricle) can be assessed. I did have to have an IV in place for this test, and it did NOT go in easily.
I expect everyone will be going back to school tomorrow except for me. I miss teaching terribly. Outpatient surgery for the port is scheduled for tomorrow at 3:45. I have a no food, no drink after midnight restriction once again for the entire day. Please pray that the day will pass quickly, that I won't get hungry or thirsty, but will still be able to produce a urine sample at 2:15! Pray that the IV goes in better tomorrow than it did today. And one more thing, thank God for Dr. Hoberman!
Much love to all of you!

Robin,
ReplyDeleteI just heard about your surgery last week when I ran into Amy while cross country skiing. Then Sue sent me your blog. Be assured of my continued prayers for a full recovery and for your daughters as they handle this stress. I wish I was still at school so I could talk to them. Be as strong as I know you can.
Hi Robin
ReplyDeleteWe have been gone for awhile and just had a chance to catch up on your progress. God is good and you are one tough chick! Our prayers for you are still being lifted up to God. Did you have a chance to talk with Marla?

Dear Robin,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to enjoy the snow day with your family!! That was a very good thing for all of you. :) Praying for you today, hoping the port surgery goes well and you are back home quickly. As I was listening to the radio (WCSG) the song lyrics...You will be safe in his arms...just hit me and I went right to the computer to pass those words on to you!! What a peace I received with regards to you when I heard those words. Here's hoping they give you the peace you need, too!!
Love,
Corla :)
The bad IV experience was a sign for you to start gaining appreciation for your new port :)
