Default When do I get a break??

I (and my family) have had my fair share of health-related issues these past few months.

In June, DS was dx'd with Celiac Disease. My blood tested positive (Aug), but the biospy of my intestines (Sept) came back negative. No doctor has confirmed or denied that I have the disease, too. We do know that I do have the gene. So, even if I don't have it, I could develop it at any point.

In Aug, I had a mole removed (very small, smaller than a pencil eraser) from my leg. After the biopsy, they told me that they needed to take more. That these cells were 'wicked atypical'. So, I went back for more removal. It looks like they took an ice cream scoop of flesh out of my leg. I ended up with 13 stitches and a 2-in long scar on my knee.

In the meantime, I found a lump in my breast. After 5 doctors and several procedures, we opted to have it removed and biopsied. So this week, just three days after having my stitches removed from the leg thing, I had another surgery on my breast. I am still bandaged so I don't even know the magnitude of the incision, but I can only imagine that I have at least another 2-in scar...

UGH! I am sooo sick of Doctors!

So very sorry about all these health concerns!

The entire family could eat the Celiac Diet as an option.

(((Hugs))) and prayers too!
