Good luck; it'll probably feel eerie at first I imagine.  That reminds me that I need to get an eye exam - I haven't had one in too long.

Going back to work today for the first time since March 14.

It has the same feeling as when I went back to work the first time after coming out of my cancer treatment.

drink a cup of coffee and get some work done

a lot of stuff on my plate

Hang in there.
I know what you mean about lying down.
Every two weeks I donate platelets and plasma at the blood bank... I fall asleep every time.
They tie my arm down so I won't jerk with the needle in my arm.
Come on. What do you expect sitting still for almost two hours.
When I stop... it's time to rest.

Fill weekly planner. Relax, grab some beer, study for my Japanese class I'm taking, play guitar. Then 

walking over to the beach with my girls after I finish this beer. Hoping the rain holds off.

Cool.  Didn't think it was a big deal.  Just another getting older thing I sp'ose.

Been up since 3 am.  They'll have to wake me up when they're done If I lay down for anything.

It'll be interesting to know anyway.  Then I'll find out what kinda med the ortho guy is gonna tell me I need.

Not gonna take anything though, the drugs just make your bones more brittle, AFAIK.  Who knows anymore ?

I had the density test... easy peasy... lay on a table and get scanned.

Headed out for that ultrasound shortly

and for extra credit, a bone density test.  My first one.

and back tomorrow for my bi-weekly distemper shot ...

I know, y'all'd think the shots would make me easier to deal with,

but it's the lowest possible dose ... ;)

Thanks for the support.  It will be what it will be. 

The anxiety about showing up and saying I think I have a problem is over.

Two weeks for insurance clearances and ultrasound and then away we go.

Tons of chores and things to get off the plate before hand in case I become unable.

Well it's gonna be an ultrasound, remove body part and see what is inside and proceed from there. 

Biopsy is not an option, gotta take it all and find out later.

And so it goes ...
