Well, I can come up on the smile chart from a frown to blank-"ok"My partner will see a thoacic surgeon this week to finalize the biopsy. Orginially, this was going to be an open heart procedure but there is some way to get between the ribs and to the mass. Wow for that as well. So, we have been dealing with this for weeks now. The first round of health care could not agree on what was there and the biopsy was not successful (not enough material to be conclusive). We decided to pursue a medical group in a bigger city hoping this would expand the options. So far, it took only a week to get into the surgeon. And the new physician called, himself, to reveal what tests he had performed. That was helpful.  It is nice that Spring is here but with it come allergies, ticks, and a lot of outside work. I did not use to complain about it until all the stress with my family (illnesses) conincided. It just makes life harder. I took part of yesterday to unwind. That helped for then. Not able to find that peace today. The day is not over so will work on a little gladness for myself. I know I need it...we all do really. Best wishes to DS friends. Have a nice weekend~
