Or is it...

So there was a hiccup with the inspection. Maybe less of a hiccup and more of a train wreck. Depends on your perspective really.
What the inspector told us is that the house has clearly had foundation repairs made to it in the past. This is good because the damage to the foundation was correctly and professionally fixed. This is bad because the conditions that caused said damage may or may not be an issue in the future. Luis isn't sure if he wants the house anymore. To be honest, neither am I. We have a week to pull out without major penalties. We'll see. To be honest I can clearly say that I was pretty sure something would come up. After all, it's a 33 year old house on a mountain. I was hoping there wouldn't, but I was prepared. I must admit I took the news a lot better than I thought I would.
Tomorrow I have a couple of tests scheduled which I have been waiting on since my yearly physical in November. We'll see if there are any hiccups with those inspections. I hope not. I guess we'll see. For those of you really interested, I'm having an IVP done to check the suspicious condition of my kidneys, and an ultrasound done to check a suspicious lump. To be honest, I'm pretty sure I'll get a clean bill of health. After all, I'm a 28 year old who lives an extremely healthy lifestyle. But I'm prepared.
I'll keep you updated
Update: The tests went well. The way our health care system here in Utah usually works is that the techs who perform the tests aren't allowed to interpret them for you. They just send the results on to the specialist, who interprets them and then sends their report to the physician who referred the patient for the tests in the first place. I never even saw the radiologist during my IVP, so I have no clue how things went. The tech doing the ultrasound, though, was perplexed by what she was reading so she called in the specialist who basically told me they don't know what the lump is, but it's not obviously dangerous so I shouldn't worry, but I should come back in 3 months for further evaluation.

oh man! Well, at least your intuition kicked in and warned you...I'm really sorry. Hopefully you will get a feeling of certainty one way or the other soon. Good luck with your tests...but now that you've put that out there I'm going to be thinking about you until you share the results. I'll say a little prayer for you...

Lame. Hope you can come to a quick decision that you are happy with. Love you!
