Upcoming Clinic Visit

I’m scheduled for my first 3 month check up on Monday September 21st. My doctor decided that a CT scan of my chest is warranted. This is based on a note I sent to him regarding what I suspect is a pulled muscle in my left side that has not healed in 2 months. I thought he might start with an x-ray and then, if needed, move to a CT scan. This produces a high degree of anxiety… somewhat out of proportion to the actual pain. Now, only a clean scan will put my anxiety at bay.

June and July were terrific months for me. I was feeling great and saw a lot of friends and family. August and so far into September have not been as kind. Small aches and pains get in the way of enjoyment.

Today is the 9th anniversary of my mom’s death. She died of lung cancer at age 72. This too weighs on my mind.

Take care everyone.
