My sister Becky came down once again to drive me to Boston for my treatment. I had an appointment with my adrenal specialist the next day so we decided to stay the night. I called one of the motels to make reservations and was shocked at what I was asked to pay for a one night stay.
2 king size bed suite $420.00
2 queen size beds $300.00 and something.
The receptionist said they had no other rooms available because of hurricane Florence. I told her that I am a patient at Mass. General and was wondering if she knew of any other place that I could stay at. She hesitated for about 30 seconds and said "Oh....we have just one room left. One king size bed for $110.00. Can you believe that!!!! I said book it!!!!
It was a long five hour day. My blood work came back fine so my infusion was given. We had parked my car in the parking garage and were planning to take the shuttle to our motel room. My sister felt comfortable driving to the motel and we were there within 15 minutes. We regrouped and decided to head to the Ninety Nine for an appetizer . It was within walking distance.
We enjoyed our fried food (Shh!!) and planned on going back to our motel room to settle in for the night and relax. We noticed a shopping mall in the distance. Oh no! The Christmas Tree Shop!!!! We didn't like the area that we were located in but thought we could get back from shopping before dark.by dark. That was not the case. Six shopping bags later, we realized that we had shopped much to long and would be walking back in the dark. Next time I will bring a flash light. Kinda scary!!!
My appointment was at 9:20 the next day for my testing on my adrenal gland. We left the parking lot (after checking out of our motel) at 7:30. We got lost and the traffic was terrible. We just made it to my appointment. The one hour test was done. Waited over an hour to see the doctor then headed home. I LOVE NEW HAMPSHIRE!
Got a call today with the results about my adrenal gland. Not good news. It is not working. Will continue to take my prednisone and will have the test taken again in another six months.
Go back to Boston next Monday for a cat scan and pet scan. It will be a full body scan and they will also do my brain. Will have to go back to Boston that Wednesday to get the results. Just wish I could just have a couple of days to relax and not worry. It is the unknown that scares me!
I will get back to you all and let you know the results. If you don't mind me asking.....could you say a little prayer for me.😊
