I am WFH today and I am determined to take it as leisurely as possible. Just like in Raspberry Beret.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I have to clean the kitchen before I can leave for the weekend - going to hear Eileen Ivers in Mount Vernon, with required stops at the Co-op and a drive out to Pelican Bay Books - and this seems excessive.

Drive by post!
Thankfully, the schedulers took the hint that my follow up was kind of time sensitive, so I still got in with the Dr this morning, 40 minutes later than originally planned. CT scan yesterday. It's technically not 100 percent certain it's cancer, but very probably. But also probably very early stage. Either way, pretty certain the treatment is hysterectomy. Which I'm pretty ok with - I'm not using my uterus for anything anyway. First appt with oncology is April 7.
And now I gotta get to work. I'm running thru my sick time like nobody's business here lately.
Thanks for the support! Love you all!

Our wings are not tired.
Sounds like it was caught early, and treatment at that stage is quite successful. In my experience uteruses are more trouble than they are worth! It was clearly a poor design choice in evolution. Sending the most effective treatment ~ma.
What is the plural of uterus? My computer gives me red squiggles on that one.

Crosswords like uteri.
Epic, same thing for me 14 years ago. Happy to talk about anything anytime if you'd like. Of course, everyone's case is different, but, camaraderie and all that. Health vibes your way.

FWIW, I rejoiced when I had my uterus out. Bypassing the "feminine hygiene products" aisle at the grocery store each week still gives me a thrill.

Hope any needed treatment goes smoothly and recovery is easy, Epic!

Ah, that looks better. I haven't had the occasion to use that plural previously!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I was watching someone on TV asking "men on the street" about women's anatomy. When asked about a woman's uterus and how many a woman would have, the answers ranged from two to four ... and, honestly, sometimes one is more than enough.

Have fun! Say hi to the Co-op for me!
