Just after picking up Justin from school, Dr. Z called. He heard the kids all in the background and asked if it was a good time to talk. I lied and said yes. He continued, your MRI came back with a questionable area. You will need surgery again. He had already called Dr. Newman and they collectively decided that I needed to go see an expert at UCLA. My mind has a great ability to protect my emotions and after too much, it just shuts down. I couldn't think. I just wanted to fall apart! I called Scott, he had come home early from work that day. He was home when I pulled in the drive way.
Scott's first question was, where is it this time? Why hadn't I thought to ask that? I don't think I could handle the answer at that moment. I called Dr. Z back and he would only say same area but deeper. Naturally we think it is either at my spine or my intestines. The previous surgeries were already there. Deeper had to mean that they had reached those places.
