And now we wait.

Mick has had a chest infection for a while now - as in over three years, so he finally went to the doctor and got some antibiotics.  The doctor decided a chest x-ray was a good idea, so Mick got one and there was a 1.5 centimeter nodule on the left lung.  And the doctor told him to stop smoking.  Okay, so this afternoon, Mick went in for a CT scan and blood work.  And now we wait.  We probably won't know the results until next week, as the clinic is only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday.


Mick isn't that worried,  but it will be either nothing or something.  If it's nothing, then that's great.  It rules out anything nasty.  But if it's the latter, then that's something.  We will have to face that if it happens.  Thankfully, Mick has a strong faith and knows that if this is the big "C", God will get him through it.  And if he should pop his cloggs, he will meet the in-laws...and Granny!!  He's actually looking forward to that, because he would like the folks.  However, he is hoping not to meet them for some time yet.


So now we wait.  And we pray.  Now we are tested.  Just when you think things are moving ahead, you get smacked down.  So for those of you who pray, we could use a couple of prayers.
