Hey Family

I feel pretty small writing this.  I feel bad that I haven't been more open with all of you.  I kept thinking the wierd health things that I've had going on for the past two years would be nothing.  But things just seems to keep cropping up.  I have been use to dealing with a certain level of pain and usually can manage it okay.  It has been increasing though and I really struggle at times to appear normal (like at Melinda's shower and Memorial Day weekend).  The week I haven't been even close to normal.  My pain has been overwhelming at times.  I am doing better, but I realize that I need some help.  Just prayers really and understanding so if I am not myself you won't jump to the wrong conclusion.  The lumps and pain in my neck and breast are still unexplained but manageable at the moment.  But after a CT scan and two scopes, it appears that I am bleeding from my kidneys.  Not heavily, but this does not explain my abdominal pain.  I don't know how this is coming across to all of you.  This way of communicating is so impersonal.  I really am peaceful and fine emotionally and mentally.  Scott and the kids help me and we are all happy.  I will let you know when we know anything but I really don't want anyone to worry.  Just remember me and my family in your prayers.  Thanks!  I love you all.  And please don't comment on this post.  You're always free to call me.

Love,

Mignon
