You guys are wonderful. Thank you so much for your blogiversary wishes. What a relief if it was to find out that so many people are actually reading this blog. I find that I can’t trust the stats page on Typepad, so I never accurately know what’s going on. Today, for example, it tells me I’ve had one reader since midnight. Your feedback is appreciated and I’ll be sure to make an effort to post more about Marina and Gracee.
I would love to have the opportunity to knit with each of you in person. You have an open invitation to look me up if you are ever in the Vancouver area. Heck, even if you live thousands of miles away and have always wanted to see YVR, knitting is a good excuse. Right Ellen? And Dorothy, you live close enough you have no excuse. OK, I’m gushing here, but it’s meant with all sincerity.
Relieved again – I went in for my second diagnostic mammogram and an ultrasound. When the technician applied the gel I was pleasantly surprised at its warmth. Usually it feels like like having ice jelly spread across your breast. I made a comment and she told me I scored brownie points because she saw me knitting in the waiting room! There you have it, another benefit of knitting. After meeting with the radiologist, in what seemed an unreasonably drawn out process, involving gelled up breast and armpit, I was told it was just a new cyst to add to my growing collection of things lumpy. So that’s it for another year. It’s a relief and I do feel well looked after in this system of socialized medicine. But then again, I’m not sick. I really don’t want the opportunity to test the system any more this year.
To keep part of my promise, here is a photo, no caption necessary:
