Midge...

Just caught the tail end of that....you know I resist tests because I can't deal with the pressure my family would put on me. My pancreas/spleen area started feeling swollen and achy and I about freaked, but I had 'friends' hear to talk me through it. Part of me wanted to run in to er and get a diagnosis, and the other part said "If you do have something ugly,like .....whatever(I won't even say it)....they will expect you to behave yourself....and the worry and stress would be too much on top of any illness....so I just get through it. The other part of me yells....the only way you are going to get any attention around here is to be seriously 'ill'...then they would take your pain seriously .....but I just can't do. I'm worried the fear and worry (I am a worryer by nature) and the stress between our health beliefs would either screw me up, or put my marriage in even a more precarious position.

So, I will worry and pray for you, and be sure to let us know as soon as you can how the tests turn out. We love you. hugs!
