Doctah doctah, gimme the news

Everything happens for a reason... so why did I waste my time at the endocrinologist this morning?

Maybe it's not a waste. Maybe when I go for bloodwork this afternoon the tests will show something. But she didn't seem to think there was anything to worry about- she didn't really share her thoughts at all- I hate how cold and officious and distant allopathic doctors are. Meh. All she did was warn me that 10% of lumps like this are cancerous, so I should get an aspiration (NEEDLE THROUGH MY THROAT TO GET A SAMPLE, YUM!) just to be sure. Hells fucking no! You're lucky I'm willing to let you take my blood, frickin' leeches.

SO, I shouldn't jump to conclusions that I wasted my time. I don't have cancer, I know that. Maybe they will find something in the blood. The blood. THE BLOOOOOOD.

God i'm in a goofy mood ;p

ps: Laura made a fantastic dinner last night, and we and Sarah and Jenn saw Slumdog Millionaire (for the third time for me!!!) but we missed the first few minutes :( Sarah and Jenn, you MUST SEE IT AGAIN!!!

Plus there was a cute boy at the concessions with hot Buddhist tattoos... oh the irony of permanently inscribing symbols of a religion that promotes the ideas of impermanence!

Ow, the neck? I quit breathing for a moment thinking about that, and I don't mind needles. :(

yeah, I'm not going to be getting that done ;p 90% chance it's just a lump.

Well, ideally, the bloodwork was nothing more than a waste of time. But, that said, wouldn't it suck a lot more if , however many years down the road, you discovered you had something terminal which could've been averted if you had been tested? I see it as the sort of case where the inconvenience of getting tested now and again kind of outweighs the potentially catastrophic results of not getting tested.

On a lighter note, perhaps the Buddhist boy sees the tattoos as impermanent (in the same way that his body is impermanent) and was going for double irony. :P

ah, touche on the double irony!
