But going in, I always wonder if this is the one that will change my life—in a bad way.
The word I have learned for this is: "scanxiety."
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

The word I have learned for this is: "scanxiety."
That is a perfect word, and I feel it at every mammogram, every colonoscopy (because of family history I've been having them every 3 years or so since my mid-30s), and even a little bit with every year's bloodwork at my annual physical.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Beverly, I hope you’re having a peaceful birthday at home with your DH! Love to both of you.
We dropped ltc off at Mom’s for two nights yesterday and then had a wonderful date night a play, dinner at a pub, and then came home and watched The BAFTA awards hosted by David Tennant.
