My trip to the endo was a bit unnerving. Nodules that had been there, but dormant for 25 years, have sprung to life and doubled in size. Clusters that did not exist are now a 3.5 on a 1-4 scale of blood flow. After the scan, he said "Let's just work you in for your biopsy today. We won't get to use the prescription numbing medication, but we'll get through it with the freezing spray."
Ten aspirations later, I look like I've been attacked by: 1. a love sick hickey monster and/or 2. someone intent on strangling me and/or 3. a deranged acupuncture student. It's a good thing I like and have lots of scarves because I don't own a single turtleneck and I'm going to need to cover up the bruising for a few days. The only not unnerving thing was that he didn't put any kind of a rush on the labs (if there is such a thing). I go back next Tuesday for the results.
ETA:
Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.

ReplyDeleteLong time, no see Angela Pea!
DeleteI tried to email you last month when I was hauling out to Parker county to ride the trails to see if you wanted to join us - but the email I have for you bounced back.
Thinking good thoughts for you! And yes, not rushing the results is a positive sign.
ReplyDeleteI wish this northern friend could send you a stack of turtlenecks and a big hug. I'm thinking of you, Roxie.
ReplyDelete"It will all be okay - it's just a matter of when."
ReplyDeleteHoping "when" is sooner rather than later. Good thing you had this done in the spring. Imaging wearing scarves in summer and explaining that away!
Oh my lady! Sending you a big hug! Great quote... good reminder.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brave one, you are. Take good care of your mental health and breathe a sigh that this day is off your check-list. Hang in there, honey.
