TOD

I've had a random, eclectic week of movie watching. Last night was THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING (x2). The night before was AN AMERICAN IN PARIS. And later last night I watched the first 30 minutes - for my first time ever - of Baz Luhrmann's MOULIN ROUGE.

Whoa.

I hadn't been exposed to his films in some years, and this one's wa-a-ay over the top. Or is it really that much more, uh, [something] than the others? I'll watch the rest soon.

The Russians Are Coming is one of my favorite films

Same here.

Sorry I have not been around much. It's been hectic but fun

I am glad you have been having fun.

I've been napping with Thatch and Stella. This morning I had a small cat accident to clean up from the bathroom floor. I still suspect Stella, but all three cats need to see a vet. I've got to get some work.

Watching the shorts on the Household Saints set. Director Nancy Savoca was better with a budget.

It is 79 degrees here - but with the clouds covering the sun, it is comfortable inside and out.

I also liked Strictly Ballroom.....the soundtrack CD gets a lot of play around these here parts.

It is only 71 degrees here. It seemed much warmer when I was out walking.

I have been on a bit of a roller coaster ride the past month or so after having a lesion on my scalp biopsied by a dermatologist early in July. Cleveland Clinic reported that it was “potentially indicative of systemic lymphoma,” meaning I could have had cancer somewhere, anywhere. So I was referred to a Cincinnati oncologist with whom I had an appointment yesterday.

In preparation for yesterday’s appointment, I had a PET scan last week that found a problem ONLY at the site of the original biopsy and “no hyperbolic metastatic disease” anywhere else. That sounded like good news to us, which the oncologist confirmed yesterday. He did recommend radiation therapy, so I’ll see another specialist next Thursday, but I seem to have dodged a major bullet. For that I’m very grateful.

Thank you, DR Jane. I’m sorry that I haven’t been very attentive to the progress of your cataract surgeries and I hope you’re recovering smoothly.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #112 on:** August 16, 2024, 12:24:32 PM »

OMG, DR Ginny, I am so glad for those second findings -- and I am sure that luck will stay with you through the followups!

I have a consultation appointment in October for cataract surgery. They say that if all looks good, surgery can take play two or three weeks later.

That is pretty fast. One reason I switched to the opthamologist I use is that is also does cataract surgery. I liked him so much Keith switched. The nurses at the hospital really like him. He no longer takes new patients and we are glad we switched a few years ago.

My opthalmologist was my surgeon, too, which made the whole process even nicer because I'd immediately liked and trusted her from my first appointment. So, going to the surgery center where she practices made it seamless and it was obvious the people there liked her as well.

I also got in just in time, because she went on her leave of absence to drop her third or fourth kid a week after my second surgery followup.

I'm doing fine thank you. I'll know more after my post-op this afternoon.

Indeed excellent timing.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep, maybe a bit more. It took a while due to eighty-two degrees.
