Cotton’s vet visit was pretty successful. He behaved like a champ once we were there, although I had to lift him into the car both times. He’s gained 2 pounds over the past year, but the vet said he was very healthy. They yanked his bad toenail off (ouch)! He came home (after I lifted him back into the car) with a painkiller.

I didn’t know if I was going to make it without coffee this morning, but of course I did. The lab tech couldnt’ find any veins in my arm so she drew blood from my hand instead. I was amazed at how much it swelled up. I’m going to have a lovely bruise tomorrow I guarantee.

Then it was off to the Women’s Health Center for the diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound. I knew about one lump. Unfortunately the ultrasound found another which the first mammogram missed so it was back for more mammogram pictures. I’m always amazed at the technological progress being made with these types of screenings. My doctor will be calling me in the next few days to tell me the next steps. My guess is it will be time for yet another biopsy. I don’t want to sound defeatist, but I really am very frustrated with my body and all of this.
