The waiting....

I had my mammogram on 11/11. In years past, there have been some abnormal pictures, and I always had to go back and have my left breast reimaged and an ultrasound. Well, not last year. Last year they didn't see it. The problem area has always been in the inner quadrant. This year....it's on the outer. I have no idea what this means, but I must wait nearly a month before getting that second scan and ultrasound. I'm hoping my luck hasn't run out.  

December 15th is when I go back. It was their first available slot. I have my annual doctor's appointment and an endocrine checkup on the 13th, which has been set for the past 3 months. I have time off available for that appointment, but not for the 15th. Not that is the most important thing about all this. Money means nothing if you aren't healthy. Well...I mean, you need money to pay for healthcare. It sucks there is no universal health care here in the United States. Rambling...I am worried. I don't know why.  

Actually, I know exactly why. The last time I lost weight so quickly was when I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer. I'm on Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes, and it's helping my A1C, and of course, the weight is coming down quickly. I've lost around fifty pounds since the summer. So now I'm worried that I have a tumor in my breast, and that's why I'm losing weight, and it's not the Mounjaro. I'm a worrier.  I have a problem, but I'm sure you can see the correlation. 

So yeah....I have two weeks plus time for them to look at the scans to worry.  I know positivity is vital, and I'm trying.  I really am.  It's tough.  I got super lucky with my Kidney cancer.  They removed the kidney, and my scans have been clear since. Ok...confession...I didn't get scans this year. *sigh* Isn't the doctor supposed to call about that stuff? So now I'm overwhelmed again.

that's what I'm talking about...

I get that I'm a fundamental kind of person. I ask the usual question when you get home. How was your day? What did you get for lunch?  Anything new?  ...and of course, you give me your run-of-the-mill answers.  Fine, blah blah blah... But then a day later you send me a picture of something that you bought while you were at a store and expect me not to start "narrating possible situations" because you don't write anything with that picture.  I'm just supposed to know.   This is why I feel confused and left out of your world.  Because you don't share those little details that I would love to get.  I know....basic girl crap....you know what?  It's basic because that is how it should be ...basic information sharing. 

odd...

Isn't getting a raise a good thing? Isn't it something you tell your partner?  Apparently not in this household. I'm tired of his lack of wanting to share things with me. I'm tired of this fight...

Some days I think I'd be happier being single because I wouldn't have any expectations of people...  Feeling meh...lonely... dismissed...
