A Beth Stewart Update!

Well, here's an update from my last visit with Dr. Stefanis. He said the bone is growing and he'll see about me returning to work after my next visit with him in 5 weeks! WOW...I told myself that I was going to leave it all up to the doctor and what God's plan is for me, but needless to say, that took me by surprise. I cried most the day...when I thought about it I realized that I'm worried about my job because it's already been a long time. Everyone from work was also surprised, but really cheered me up. My bosses were so understanding and told me not to worry. I feel so fortunate to work for such a great company and even greater coworkers and bosses.

Dr. Stefanis gave me persmission to drive, just once in a while, very short distances so I can now go to the store and such. That helps a lot.
I also saw the cardiologist Friday and he's scheduled a chemical stress test, but also said that everything looks good and that I'm one of the fortunate ones to have low blood pressure. He had quite a sense of humor. I also found that I have an over active thyroid, not under active...and he commented that it's probably a good thing otherwise I would have gained 30 pounds instead of the 15 pounds since my surgery! LOL:)
