I had to have a follow-up ultrasound because there was something barely suspicious in the mammogram.
I went in with the hopes they would not have to do another biopsy. This was going to be nothing. Someone was just being really cautious.
Sadly, I was thinking too positively.
The radiology doctor, who I saw the first time, thought he saw something a little odd in one of my lymph nodes - a little lobular. He said it was something like a 10% chance the node would be cancerous. He suggested that he biopsy it just to be able to give the surgeon as much information as possible prior to the surgery. I agreed. And he stuck me again. With a massive needle. And the horrible plastic-on-plastic clicking and pulling and grabbing in my armpit. Ow.
So...now I'm a little handicapped with my right arm, a little stiff, a little pain. And I wait for Thursday for the results of this one. And of course I forget what this will mean if it's positive. There's so much to keep track of.
At least Netflix is sending "Fletch Lives" in the mail today.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Dude, you are making me laugh! And then I feel sad for laughing and so I cry. What a love you are. We are all so lucky that you are brave enough(and talented enough) to give us these gems each day so we can "be with you". I hope you do truly feel that we are all with you. We are! Sending all my love today and every day.
Big hug and a smooch.
