Lumps

Well it seems to have been medical month (again).

Cat has been to get mammograms and see an oncologist, at the recommendation of her OB-GYN. Mercifully, it seems she just has a benign cyst, and the stabbing pain she is getting in her other breast are customary for the onset of menopause. Did I mention how much it seems to suck just being a woman?

And I've just been to the doctors & gotten a prescription for antibiotics, after getting what seems to be a spider bite on the back of my right hand - it raised a lump about 2 inches square, which failed to go down in a couple of days as I was expecting, hence the doctor. Nasty bugs hereabouts, it seems. The only odd bit really was that neither I nor the doctor could see any puncture wounds, yet it definitely seems to be infectious not inflammatory.

Hi Phil, good to see you back blogging.

Hope everything goes well for Cat and the swelling in your hand goes down.

Not much news here. Paul & Lis off overseas in a couple of weeks.

Lots of love
