First thing this morning I got a text from a dearly beloved client letting me know that her cancer has been accelerating and that it will kill her soon. Meanwhile, a medical specialist let me know that we'd be doing kidney ultrasounds on me annuallyish for the rest of my life to keep an eye on some "cysts" in there that are a normal side effect of a medication I took for a while to manage a medical condition. Also, per the colonoscopy guy (whatever you call him) I am on the "3 to 5 year plan" for colonoscopies due to some "polyps" they encountered down there. My internal medicine person interprets that as the 3-year plan, and I work for her.
All this medical shit is piling up over here.
Meanwhile, I went to an ENT yesterday due to some head stuffed uppedness (not to get too technical) I've been experiencing since skiing in Colorado. She had no magical fix but my comforted me that the OTC stuff I've used cleared out all the wax and that since my symptoms have 90-95% abated, nothing is too wrong in there. On the way out a guy about my age or maybe a little older had accompanied his mom, who had a cochlear implant, to the doctor. He told her he'd have to take her back for another check up in a month or so. She was fine with that, then she looked at me and said "before I got this thing I hadn't heard out of this ear for a long time!" She was psyched. It was a beautiful and sunny day. I need to stay on that bandwidth, lest I descend ever further into Andy Rooneydom.
