4/2/10
Been kind of a weird week for me. On Monday I finally got an MRI done on my left shoulder which has been bothering me since I got rear ended last December. On Tuesday afternoon someone called me from the Ortho's office. A Nurse Practicioner to be exact. She told me that there's something in my shoulder that might be an agressive infection or something (insert dramatic overture) malignant. Yep I may likely have cancer. As usual, it sucks to be me. An appointment was made for today. I met with an Orthopedic Oncologist who looks like Rae Dawn Chong. She's very efficent, professional, to the point, and has incredible deep brown eyes. The Baroness and I feel at ease and in good hands after our meeting today. Well, as at ease one can feel facing something like this. Over the next week and a half I'll be getting all the tests done that go with such things. The morning of April 14th We'll meet with the Doc for the results and diagnosis. If it's not an infection it's either lymphoma or sarcoma. Lymphoma calls for a combo of chemo and radiation. While our friend sarcoma call for cutting out the affected bone. Heh and I though the last two presidential elections were lousy choices. This afternoon I decided to do this and update when there is new info. This way I have an outlet for my feelings, plus it will show me if it's worthwhile to attempt to finish the two novels I have been monkeying around with for the last seven years. Randy Pausch I aint. But this top of the head narration is worth doing just for my own peace of mind.
