Findings:
The examination demonstrates an approximate 2-cm left adrenal mass. Recommend follow- up MRI for futher evaluation. Differential may include adrenal adenoma, metastatic lesion or pheochromocytoma.
There is a small hiatal hernia noted.
There is a tiny bilateral nonobstructing renal calculi noted. There is no significant inflammatory change right lower quadrant.
There is no gross evidence of diverticlitis. There are postsurgical changes noted.
There is aortoiliac atherosclerotic changes.
There are mild fibroemphysematous changes of visualized lung base.
To sum it up.
1. adrenal mass! Explains why I have head tremors and can't handle heat.
2. Hernia hernia ! I didn't know I had that I take reflux meds.
3. Kidney stones
4. postsurgical changes> Now what the heck does that mean?
Anyone here know what all this means? Please let me know.
Thought I would share what I have, but don't really understand.

Maybe if you go to a medical dictionary website it will give definitions of the items that may be hard to understand...that's what I did! Laymans terms...tha's what I'm about.
Like you said...keep your chin up!!
Everything will be ok.
Love,
Steph

E,
Dear, please try this, put the resuts paperwork into an envelope. Take it to the DR on Tues....and DO ANYTHING YOU CAN to keep your mind off it for the weekend!
Worrying wont fix it.and overthinking it, you're gonna have a stroke, coz we NEVER think the positives......
BUDDY- PLEASE.....find something you guys can do!
Elaine, I am going to continue to think GOOD thoughts! Please, do the only thing you can do right now......stop worrying!!!!
Keeping my fingers crossed that all is well(and my toes...even my tongue).
Sending you love and positive vibes and prayers,
Cathi

I agree with Steph, but do yourself a favor...only deal with ONE thing at a time. Dealing with all of it mentally and emotionally may overwhelm you.
I wish I could help you understand what is going on or what is wrong, but I can only offer my support and positive vibes, and you have all of that. Please keep us posted on how you are doing, k?
Hugs and prayers for well-being,
Jen

Elaine.....I've gone the internet route and all I did was find answers that didn't apply to me but I thought they did. Your doc owes you a full explaination because he's the one who knows how these terms apply to YOU. There are some words in there that can be taken a few different ways.
Do like the others have said and enjoy the week-end. Monday, tell this heartless man/woman who gave you this report without explaining it that you need to know now so that you can deal with it if you need to.
Otherwise, he/she should put you at ease and let you tuck it away somewhere and not worry.
Big hugs,
Donna H

We are enjoying the week end....Last night we went to Buddy's brothers house and helped rost a pig for a cook out today. Today we will be going to the cook out. I am not letting it stop me.
I am just mad at my primary Doctor. She hasn't told me a thing, just writes referals for me to go to. The only thing I have been told by anyone is I have that mass on my adrinal glan, kidney stones and I was low on potassium. I was told that by the ER doctor. Now I see other things and have no one to explain it. Maybe by the end of the week I will have some answers.
I am just glad I have you guys to venty to and my wonderful family.
Well got to get ready to go eat a pig 
Love ya guys

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

My neck MRI' reports and back exrays were all JIBBERISH to me with all there explainations and mumble jumbo........all my doc had to say was WOW you have an aweful lot of arthritis in those areas (it's all from accidents) an d there are sum crooked areas and lumps with obvious nerve impingement.....that's about all he could really say about it. He mentiond to Brad I was quite a TROOPER to be able to deal with it........huh ? I coulda went to specialists and all that jazz and probly got about the same definitons and asnwers after MORE MRI's and testing and exrays and BILLS. I keep all my stuff in a file but don't understand what it all says......and alot of my bad crap you can feel and see from the outside by touch......FREE. Crunch ping pop snap Pam

Sorry you have to deal with all this crap. I hope you can put it out of your mind for the weekend and enjoy yourself. Come Tuesday, grab the doc by the ear with a pair of vice grips and keep 'em there until you get an explanation and recommended treatment course you can understand.
Enjoy the pig!
Mike

Not to worry E. It just means that you'll grow an extra pinky. 
Actually that list doesn't sound too bad from here. To me it looks like you have a break on some stuff. I like the other suggestions here.
Eat up.

Elaine start eating banana's and jacket potatoes!
They are both loaded with potassium so do your best to get it that way 'cos trust me.. if they make you drink that sheet you'll gag! Its the nastiest goo I've ever had to have even if it DOES do the trick!
You'll be fine, I know this
