Doctor Visit

OldBones-Larry
2 17 113

Just returned from my primary care doctor's.

I have a couple of small lumps that needed to be looked at.

The one in my groin she thinks is just an inflamed lymph node as it is shrinking away.

The one on my wrist however is of more concern.

She said it is an inflamed ganglion. As it is growing, it needs to be removed.

She will be setting up an appointment with the specialist's office for me.

If it must be, it will be.

Just another doctor to see ....

Reminding all to travel safely and watch for Nic's traps. They can be set anywhere along the trail. He is fighting every day to get you back into his clutches.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

Larry

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
