My lady lumps
Okay, I'm sitting here watching the end of "I Love New York" and watching "Real" break down. Now that's some funny shit.
Speaking of shit, I have some more serious shit to deal with tomorrow. Saturday night when I was putting on some deoderant I noticed something felt funny about my armpit (nice visual huh?) But I was in a hurry and didn't bother to investigate it at all. So Sunday morning I wake up to shower and get ready for work and suddenly remember the weird feeling I had the night before. I feel my armpit and feel a lump about the size of a marble. It's weird. It isn't red or sore at all. So I wasn't sure what it was. I was a bit worried but just figured it was maybe a clogged duct or something. I talked with a nurse today and she told me to call my doctor right away. I called today and left a message with the nurse and at 4:55 when I was in a meeting at work my doctor called and left me a voicemail. She made room for me tomorrow at 11:00 to come in and have it checked. So I talked to my boss today and she gave me permission to leave tomorrow to go to the appointment.
At this point, I am not at all concerned. With my age and family history of practically no cancer at all, I'm very hopeful. I'm not delusional, I know it COULD be something. But for right now, it is what it is until I hear something different. Now if she sets me up for a mammogram right away THEN maybe I'll freak out a bit. But as of this moment, I'm fine.
And that's about all I have for tonight as it's getting late and I must get some sleep.
Sincerely,
Lumpy McLumperson
