This area where cheating is definitely excused. I’m sure your friends will realize that you have so much going on, and will be extremely touched by any effort you made for them. I hope everything goes well for you on Thursday and it’s as painless as possible.
I’ll be sending out good vibes on Thursday! I hope everything turns out all right.
And I know exactly what you mean about time management. I feel like a chicken with its head cut off all the time and I’m always posting/reading when I should be doing other more important things!
I get busier every day too. Retirement is way busier than working full time. Good luck with the biopsy. Cathy has had several and they have always been fine. I wish you the same good fortune.
oh, and my psycho, er, psychic abilities tell me you will be taking drugs for recreation purposes only...as the biopsy is going to be just fine. i just call em as i see em.
Um Cp? (That works for me!) I was a girlscout and always believe in being prepared. So those drugs will be “on board” just in case, and more for my own peace of mind. If I have to have needles stuck in my tits, I should be rewarded with floating on a cloud for a few hours dontcha think?

Thank you! I need to remember these biopies are becoming as commonplace as the mammograms themselves. And for good reasons.

Thank you. And I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one playing russian roulette with time mamagement. (the whole misery loves company thing)
Thank you Mr. Fabulous! From your lips to God’s ears.
OK Becky! all I needed was one person to tell me it’s perfectly OK to cheat like this, and I’m OK with it too!
I’ll be holding good thoughts for you on Thursday…
Hope the party went okay. I am overwhelmed with the few we get invited to - let alone YOUR hectic schedule! Don’t forget to take some time for YOU. Have a happy holiday!
This may have been a quickie for you, but obviously I have been a bad blogger and had an awful lot of 3T catching up to do. Sounds like things around here are crazy as ever. The holidays tend to make us all insane, but I actually de-stress by letting my creative side loose. I’ve made lots of little ornaments and candle holders, and of course enough baked goods to sink a ship - and just think, 20 more days of this to go!
My thoughts are with you, as always, my dear.
What is up with procrastination anyway? I always find myself doing something like commenting on blogs when there are other things I can be doing. Not that it’s not important but then again, so is showering and getting on with the day, right?:)
Procrastination and unorganization are completely acceptable for the moment. How you are able to keep it together and go to holiday parties is beyond me.
I thought I left this comment already, but I don’t see it anywhere. So forgive me if I’m repeating myself.
By biopsy, do you mean you decided not to have the tumors removed? I had two fibroadenoma tumors....one in each breast.
It is scary to hear the word “tumor” and the uncertainty if it really is cancer or not (until they biopsy them).
If you do decide for surgery, I HIGHLY recommend getting the needle localization done. On my first surgery, with my first surgeon, they did the localization in the right breast but not in the left one (because they could feel where that one was).
Well, they did the surgery, even biopsied the tumors, and it turned out that the surgeon misssed the tumor in the left breast. You’d think that the biopsy would be able to show that what they removed was just normal breast tissue and not a tumor, but it didn’t. That was a little scary to me.
The ONLY reason I knew it was still there was because I could still feel it. I even went back to the doctor to give her another chance and she very condescendingly told me that it was just bone I was feeling.
I got another doctor to order another sonogram, and sure enough the tumor was still there. So I got another surgeon and had a second surgery to remove that tumor.
As scary as the localization sounds, it honestly doesn’t hurt at all. I had no painkillers at all. And when the doctor inserted the needle into the tumor, I said, “Is it in yet?”
And he said to me, “Never say that to a man.”
Anyways, that’s how painless it was. I wish now I’d just had it done in both breasts on the first surgery.
Also, if it’s of any comfort, there are certain fibroadenoma tumors that do NOT predispose you to cancer. They’ll be able to tell you that when they biopsy them (with or without removing them).
Fortunately, my tumors were not the kind that would predispose me to cancer.

I’ll be thinking of you on Thursday, although I know everything is going to be just fine

I get busier every day too. Retirement is way busier than working full time. Good luck with the biopsy. Cathy has had several and they have always been fine. I wish you the same good fortune.

Good thinking on getting the drugs… I don’t do needles well either.
I’ve done the biopsy thing as well and I’m not quite so sure if it isn’t more of a routine thing these days.
My thoughts will be with you!

I came across this Excuse Generator on Leslie’s Omnibus. I thought maybe it’ll help you out a bit.

I’m praying for you, 3! Hang in there!
Just checking in… hope all is going okay.
