Come Thursday, I have one of my periodic blood tests.
When the parathyroid cancer plays particular havoc with my biochemistry and my blood calcium levels skyrocket, these tests can occur as frequently as once a week. When things are relatively calm and my calcium levels moderate, they occur every other week.
My last test was a month ago, and the results were good enough to earn me a monthlong respite.
Until now.
When I last was tested, the good wishes of my blogosphere friends really helped me get through that trial. I humbly ask you all to keep me in your thoughts Thursday.
It worked a month ago, and it'll work again.
Thanks!

HEALTH MIRACLE. Remember, its your name...
And may I recall what you said back in early January:
"The good news is, tomorrow's another day. Better still, it's the weekend and I've got a little cash in my pocket.
The phrase "keep the faith" never meant so much to me as now."
And just that...your faith and will to get through hard times will prevail...
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, you are an inspiration, a friend....
You've got it, Michael. Thanks for reminding us.
*Big hug*
Kitty :)
You'll be in my thoughts, Michael, and in my meditation.
When they stick you-
They'll stick me too...
I'll be there.
i'll definitely keep you in my thoughts.
Will be thinking of you.
Jean guided me over here.
The best of luck, Michael, for Thursday. I'll send you a wave of positive thoughts from across the Atlantic during my meditation.
Anna.
Thank you, everyone! I'm grateful and humbled by your kind thoughts and good wishes.
I'll post the results here as soon as I get them.
Best wishes for tomorrow, Michael. You'll be in my thoughts.
Here via Jean. I'll be thinking of you, Michael.
I'm glad I checked on you when I did. I will be thinking of you on Thursday.
I took a No Doctors month last month and can't say I regret it. Of course, this month is going to suck but for one month I got to pretend I was normal again.
You hang in there and I get stuck on Friday so we can be bruised arm buddies this week. ;)
Thank you, thank you, everyone!
Jo, I'll be thinking of you, too. It was a great no-doctors month for me, as well. Hopefully, I'll get to do it again in March, depending on tomorrow's outcome. I wish the same for you.
Best wishes, Michael! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks, guys!
With all this support, it looks like I need to take another inventory of my many blessings!
No need to worry Michaeel,
You are in very good hands.
We are all with you. All along.
Love
Merci Pierre, gassho. :)
I'll be with you tomorrow.
Patry, :)
Done! I will be thinking nothing but great thoughts for you, and I am sure you will be just fine :) If I could I would hop a plane and go with you if that would make ya feel better.
I'll be thinking of ya!
Michael, those who said 'via Jean' are from the meditation blog I'm part of: http://days100.blogspot.com/
You'll be in our meditation today.
Thank you so much ...
A light snow is falling here at 8:50 a.m. I'm just about to drink my morning tea, and then it's off I go.
Thanks for your support!
Hey Michael,
It's 830pm and you must have had the blood drawn already. I want you to know that I love reading your blog and will say a metta prayer for you now.
May Michael be filled with lovingkindness
May he be free
May he be happy
May he find peace.
Thanks for these wonderful sentiments!
I'm truly touched and humbled by this show of support. Thanks to each and every one of you!
