Two words I didn't want to hear: Inconclusive and Surgery.

Yep, after an MRI, the diagnosis for the lump on my ankle was inconclusive.  It is not a blood clot, a lipoma, or a cancerous tumor.  Best guess?!?  It is a non-cancerous tumor.  How will I find out what it is?!?  Surgery.  I have to have it removed and biopsied.  And I will have to be on crutches for a few days.  Did it mention that it is my right ankle?  Driving should be fun.  And the stairs.  And taking care of 2 kids.  And driving them to school.  Okay, enough of that.  I am just keeping my fingers crossed that we don't have a snow storm since my surgery is scheduled for January 31.

It has been a week since I had my blood work done.  I am hoping to hear from the doctors office tonight or tomorrow.  I have an appointment Tuesday morning to get medical clearance for the surgery, so if I haven't heard by then, at least I can be there to ask about it. 

Needless to say, my stress level is at an all time high.  I am not feeling like myself.  I am eating like a mad woman.  I am not allowed to work out.  It sucks.  I think I do need to do some upper body and core exercises.  And stop eating things like Samoa cookies with vanilla frosting on them.  So, I am keeping my fingers crossed and my head up.
