They know I'm a bit stressed out right now so sent them to cheer me up.
How lovely is that?
Thanks girls ♥♥♥
Stew is home today, he's accompanying me to an appointment I have. More on that later.
After the appointment I think we shall be doing a small grocery shop and having lunch out. Might as well make the most of having him home after all. *smiles*
Right. ON with the day.
ONWARD...
10.43 am:
Stressful time is over!
My mammogram results came back with an 'area of concern' in my left breast. I had to go back today for another mammogram, an ultrasound and physical examination.
After literally a dozen more mammogram photos.... and the ultrasound/physical examination I was cleared of having a 'problem'.
We are just so relieved, and thankful that Breastscreen Aotearoa are so thorough and careful.
This has been the most stressful two days of my life lately I can tell you! You can't help imagining the very worst can you?
I'm just so thankful I don't have to give away all my fabric and sewing machines! lol (the things you think of, it's a bit weird!)
Karen Jones, if the worst ever happens, my Brother Dreamweaver and fabric is all yours! *smiles*
Stew is going back to work as he's dreadfully busy, and I'm off to get some groceries on my own, then have lunch with Bex and the boys.
5.35 pm: Groceries... done. Lunch with Bex and boys... done.
Home, unloaded groceries, then sat down to think.
Funny how having the possibility of losing your health can make you so thankful for the little things in life!
I'm not going to stress about the house selling, it will happen eventually.
I'm just so happy to enjoy what I do have... my loving family and my health. Even if I am unfit and overweight. I'm working on it!
The huge weight on my shoulders is gone...the stomach churning fear is gone... I feel so, so lucky.
I'm making a lovely dinner of beef spare ribs in marinade with garlic bread. Everyone will enjoy that.
End of Day: well today started with DREAD, and ended with a much happier state of mind.
So grateful.

ReplyDeleteHappy for you Chris. I had to have an ultrasound once, years ago. Also, an area of concern. During the ultrasound, 2 doctors kept talking to each other but wouldn't answer any of my questions. Basically they were wondering if I needed a biopsy. Finally, after the test, I went for an "interview" where the doctor told me I had some lumps that may or may not need further examination. So I was given another ultrasound date, several months later. Can you imagine how I went thru' those months? After I went for the second ultrasound, I was told to go home and wait for a letter. I waited and waited. No letter came. Called and called. No one could tell me my results. Finally I was able to track down the doctor who was at my "interview". She was of course very surprised I had not received my results. She went to get hold of my case and told me in a very off-hand manner. You're fine. You just have very lumpy breasts! I was so freaking pissed with the whole ordeal but happy my results were negative.
ReplyDeleteSo happy your ok. CALL ME next time as i hadnt havent been online reading blog so didnt know till I checked mail. Hope your ok now and yes the house will sell alll in good time. Love Sis
ReplyDeleteWhoops my last sentence should read " not in MY lifetimes"
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you received the ``All Clear``. Take care, good luck with the house.
ReplyDeleteOh Chris...I suspected it might have something to do with your mammogram. Good News!!! So very happy for you that it is no longer a concern. That sort of thing does make you put every area of your life into proper perspective. Hope you have a good rest of the week.
