More news to absorb....

on monday, I went to my follow up appt. for the car accident.  I was referred to physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, and what not. Muscle relaxers and pain meds.  He showed me some stretches that would help and said yoga will help.  Then the BIG SHOCK...he said, "now we need to talk about what I feel is more serious."  I was taken a back, and asked "more serious?" He said, "well Donna, the mass on your left Thyroid gland that showed up on your  CT scan from the E.R on the 6th."  "WHAT MASS?" I replied. "What are you talking about?"  He went on to show me the report, and said it was very suspicious, and needed to be dealt with ASAP.  He said he was referring me to a thyroid specialist, and wanted to run labs on my thyroid and everything else.  I looked at him in shock, and said "well shit" He then said, "Maybe the accident was a blessing in disquise, otherwise who knows how long it would have been before we found it."  I got a call back yesterday about my labs.  My thyroid came back slightly abnormal, and my white blood cell count is high. Everything is being sent to the specialist, and I just have to wait to hear from them.  So yeah, I cant even think straight. and I am starting to feel emotionally numb.  This is all WAY too much for me to handle, and to be honest, I am scared out of my mind.
