My crazy week

So, my husband left on Sunday afternoon with a group of men to hunt bear. Late that evening, my back began to hurt. Monday I called my chiropractor and had an appt with him. I returned on Tuesday for massage therapy for my still hurting back. After my massage the doc took another look and said pain didn't appear to be muscular, but internal. 'Watch your temp. and if it goes above 100, go out and be seen at the hospital.' Sounded reasonable to me. An hour after my massage, the pain in my back suddenly soared to a 10 on the pain scale. I went to the ER. (Thanks Megan, for taking the kids for dinner!) After normal bloodwork, and a pain shot, and a chest x-ray I was sent home, still in pain with strong pain meds and an order to call and make an appt for Thursday to return to see the doc.
Wed. morning, after lots of pain meds and little sleep, my doctor called to let me know that the chest x-ray wasn't clear after all. "There is a mass that the radiologist saw, and I still want to see you tomorrow, no the lung/chest issue is not causing your pain. I want to do some more tests."
Thursday afternoon, more blood work showed elevated liver enzymes. All other blood values were normal. "Fasting ultrasound and maybe CT scan."
Friday morning, fasting ultrasound of my abdomen. "Everything looks okay, except your liver is enlarged." Huh? Is that what is causing my back pain? "nope. But you do need to change your eating habits, for fatty liver disease."
After little help from the md on how to change my eating, I hopped on the internet and began to research. No Carbonated beverages?!?!?! Oh, man!And other changes I have needed to make anyway. Wheat is out. Other grains will be minimal. Sugar and whites? Gone!
I am to return to the doctor next week if the back pain continues. If it goes away, I am to return for a repeat blood test and chest x-ray in four weeks. Hmmm, wonder what God is trying to show us? What is His purpose in all this craziness?
In spite of my man being gone all week while I bounced through this thing all alone, my Abba was close to me and he reminded me of that on a daily basis through the concerned calls of friends and family, people praying for me, cooking for my family and offers of help. Thanks you all, you know who you are! I am taking the next step, and doing the next thing. There is not a real clear over all picture yet, so I am just keeping on!
