Are you happy

The test results are back and everything is ok. Fibroadenoma, no big deal. My doctor is off to New Zealand for a year so I will be going back in a couple of months for a check. Other than that it is back to normal.

My Dad asked if I was happy: Interesting question. I feel like asking all of my friends this question. I am guessing two would say yes and the rest would say "meh". At the moment I am in the "meh" category as well. But what to do about it, how to rectify the situation. Work is good although I don't have the same bond with my coworkers. My guess is that what I had previously was rare.

I want to Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.

Ton of bricks

What the hell was that. Ok so I guess I don't have a handle on this completely. Sigh, the results will be in on Tuesday or Wednesday. I can keep it together for a couple more days (I think).

I guess freaking out in the middle of the night is better than freaking out at work or at lunch. That would be worse. The cats don't seem to mind. 2:40 in the morning, wtf.

biopsy

Today I had a biopsy of a lump in my breast. That was a strange experience. Before today my surgery experience consisted of tonsils and wisdom teeth. This was a little more involved than either of those (that I remember anyway). I had an IV for sedation and local anesthetic which is just now starting to wear off. So now my boob hurts, great. Good times all around.

My friend Mike took me there and took me home (oh and bought me a Gorilla). Good guy, and good friend.

I will get results on Wednesday afternoon at the latest. I am not very worried, most of the women in my family have had similar experiences. The only breast cancer in my family is with two great aunts (grandmothers two sisters). But neither seemed to be affected by it and lived into their 80's.

Ouch.

I quit smoking

I think it's been long enough to declare success. I quit smoking on February 26th. Breathing is much better now and I am over the worst of the cravings. I only occasionally have a little craving that is easy to handle.

WOOHOO
