This post will count for days 10 through the present, which I have lost count of. Why? Since my last post I have learned that a friend of mine who is sick has very little time left. It's on my mind constantly and it makes me sick, sad, angry....the list goes on. I also went for a checkup and my OB/GYN also found a lump ("palpable mass" he called it) in my breast. Awesome. I had to wait 8 days for a mammo/sono appointment. Can you guess what kind of games my mind played??? Well, actually I was mildly okay until about two hours before when I just started flipping out. I drove around unable to go in to any store I pulled up to. I dialed, hung up, dialed, hung up. You know the drill. Nutsy was literally nutsy. I went yesterday and thankfully, I am okay. So today, I'm grateful for my life, my husband, my kids and even my new garage door, which in the grand scheme of things doesn't mean shit.
I'm glad things are well with you. I went through something similar
(vicariously) with my wife this past year. Those days waiting were time for
some serious reflection.
Oooo, Nutsy, I'm sorry you had to go through that but really glad that it
turned out OK. I did something similar in my early thirties. The male
doctor in the practice sent me for a mammogram on a Friday and told me to
come back to the office on Monday. By Monday I was a train wreck and the
female doctor was mad at her partner for not explaining that it was most
likely a fibroid cyst which was common in women my age. That is what it
turned out to be but not until I had imagined my kids without a mother in
their young lives.
