Doctors, aren't they fun...

I went to the doctor yesterday, I hadn't had a full blow check up in a little while. I had some things that I want her to check out anyway. So, I get there and have her take a listen to my cough, I have had it for about 12 days and it's driving me CRAZY!! She gave me some medicine for that. I then had her look at my chest and face, I have been braking out really bad, and I thought it might be related to the staph that I had when I was younger. She said it might be and prescribed some type of birth control that should clear it up, which I am totally happy about, Yea! Then I wanted her to look at my breast, I have had a lump there for a little while, I had it checked and the lady told me it was nothing. But since then it has grown a little, and turned a different color. I told her that my grandpa (Loftis) had Neurofibromatosis (NF), and had tumors that were neurofibroid tumors, and that I had a mark on my back that was suppose to be realted to NF. She called it a "Cafe ole" mark, and that it was related, that they usually went hand and hand. So she thinks that it might be a tumor from that. I am getting it taken out and biopsied on the 3rd of June. She is also having me genetically tested for NF, I have to have blood work drawn and sent to a outside lab and it take 4 months to come back. I had to blood drawn today, it took 16 tubes!, for the two tests that she wanted. And it is $2225.00 per test, yes I had to look twice at the price to. But since I work in the lab, and I have medical insurance through the hospital I don't have to pay a penny cause I would just have to pay the co-pay to have it drawn, but I don't have to since I work in the lab. So we will see how this all turns out, it shouldn't be anything to serious. I had some other blood tests run like my cholesterol and stuff and everything else come back normal, so now I just have to wait on the other two to come back.

On a good note, Casey and I are getting married! I will post a picture of my ring later, I don't get it til the 28th or so. We special ordered it and it hasn't come in yet. The date is set for the 26th of Sept. in the Boise, ID temple. I have my dress already I will post pictures of that on here too. Casey is coming on the 26th of May and we are planning as much of the wedding as we can cause he won't be back until right before the wedding. Then after the wedding I am going to be moving to Arizona. So that is my exciting news for right now! I will write again soon!
Love to all!
