There’s not a lot to say, but I thought I should post something so you don’t think I’ve forgotten you all.  My main thought at the moment is that waiting is dull.

But that’s an awful lot better than I thought it would be.  I’m so pleased that the ludicrously high stress level that persisted between phone call and biopsy have lessened remarkably.  I’m not going to say I’m completely chilled, but it’s a lot better than I expected it would be.

I expect the stress levels will go up again as we approach results-time.  If I haven’t been told when my follow up appointment is by 5^th June, then I’m to phone up and make one; which we will expect to be the following week, so this could go on until the 12^th June.  Long time, but I keep remembering that the longer the wait, the better the results are likely to be.  We’re pretty much halfway through the ‘waiting for appointment’ time, so not quite halfway through the ‘waiting for results’ time.

To brighten the place up: here is a picture of some lovely flowers that turned up on Thursday 14^th (and they are still looking very good).  They came from my department at work.

When I got home from hospital, I had another parcel from them which was a basket of lovely bath stuff (I hope that’s not because they think I smell).  That should last a goodly while, though I do seem to have pretty much finished all the chocolate/cake/biscuits that turned up one way or another following the phone call.  Though I’ve just remembered there are a couple of tubs of ice cream in the freezer, so there’s something to look forward to.
