Show Of Hands

Who’s ready for another episode of Will Terry Live?

In our last episode, Terry was waiting for the day to finally arrive when she would have her surgery. Since that episode, here’s what has happened because I know you’ve missed it and it’s a lot. I mean a lot.

Terry got a phone call from the surgeon's office. Her blood work came back “abnormal”. Of course, with cliffhangers being what they are, this call came in on a Friday and they wouldn’t elaborate over the phone. She was told to call her primary and get a clearance for surgery that is scheduled for the following Friday.

No pressure, right?

Our heroine calls her primary. The rat bastard is on vacation and won’t be back for a week. Terry doesn’t panic. (I mean really, does she ever?) She tells them what’s up and they schedule her for Monday afternoon with someone who’s covering for Mr. I Must Get My March Tan. Monday rolls around and Terry rolls in to see the sub.

The sub has all the humor of roadkill, so this scene doesn’t get off to a good start. It without question rolls all the way down the mountain and hits the skids. Ms. Sub informs Terry that…

She has stage 3, bordering on stage 4 kidney disease.

But not to fear. That isn’t even why the blood results were abnormal! “Slightly elevated sugar”. Yes, dear viewers. That’s the reason for the abnormality. Because our star had a Red Bull the day before the test. Well, thank God or it never would have been revealed about her failing kidneys!

Que milagro, si?!

Terry is four points from being stage 4. Once she hits stage 4, she will need to see a nephrologist. Stage 5 is dialysis. But we all know how soaps are, right? That won’t happen for at least, what, 5? 6? 7 days tops.

In the meantime, she already had her 6-month follow-up appointment on the books and that went down on today’s episode. So you’re nearly caught up! That morning, oxygen therapy showed up with a brand spanking new CPAP machine. Too bad you missed it because it sure is purdy! whistle

In the afternoon she went to endocrinology. More good news! Not. Come on, man, it’s a soap. There’s never any good news! The doctor found a nodule on her thyroid. More blood work ensued with a call to imaging to schedule a sonogram of her throat.

Tomorrow’s episode, if you’d like a sneak peek, she has a morning doctor’s appointment (good thing this character doesn’t work, when would she have time I ask you!) and then a phone conference with her lawyer, and then a phone conversation with someone who “has an attitude” to discuss her disability case.

Because as we all know…

Terry ain’t sick.

Wait for my story to come out on Netflix never so you can watch back episodes of angina, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, bursitis, CFS/ME, hypothyroidism, failing kidneys, sleep apnea, GERD, sciatica, bilateral S1 and SI issues, rotator cuffs, and God only knows what else.

I repeat.
