Yesterday was a Day of Days
Aug. 28th, 2019 01:14 pmI had an appoint with my cancer surgeon for a consultation. And during the appointment, she said "what are you doing today?" Seems she had a no-show tearlier that morning, and was willing to work me in. I wasn't really dressed for spending the day in an over air conditioned doctor's office, so I wasn't thrilled with the idea. Until her staff came in with her next available openings. They were all at least a month out. So we scrambled around to find a way to get me home, since himself hadn't taken the whole day off. He could stay for the first round, but not anything after that. His bff was willing to pick me up after he got off work at 3L30, but I strongly doubted it would take that long.
So I called Mom. Told her the situation, and she told me to call when they were done and she'd get me home. So the surgeon did the first round of cutting. And they were taking their time telling me the results, so I sent himself off to work - expecting Mom would do what she said she'd do. But when I called her to let her know I would need that ride, she decided to then inform me they were waiting on a visit from a Home Health Care Nurse, but that I "wouldn't have to walk home."
DAMNIT.
At that point, the surgeon came in to tell me the first round was all I needed, and they'd close the wound up and send me home. At this point, I'm starting to shiver. So I call himself, who decides he'll continue home, get ready for work, and come back for me.
I was soo grateful he was willing to come get me promptly instead of me having to wait around because as they were closing up the wound in my scalp I got cold enough my teeth started chattering.I was so happy to get out of that building and into some Texas heat!
But the Texas heat was about 10 degrees lower than usual because a cool front had blown through, so it was cooler, but the humidity was up a bit so I was even more comfortable.
Last night there was almost no pain - except for when I forgot and bent over. OOPS! I slept fine except I propped myself up a bit. Woke up to a cat curled up with me and a throbbing head. So I had to stop the cuddling ad go get some Tylenol, which is doing a good job controlling the discomfort.
But I am bored, and can't really do anything productive necause I want to avoid bending over. And arguing with complete strangers on social media is a waste of my time and enerfy, no matter how desperately they try to bait me. (I had 2 idiots try last night, and I told them to go try their bait somewhere else. cuz I wasn't biting.)
