1774

Did an RSB session this morning--fairly big class for a Thursday. I felt raggedy this morning--but knew I'd feel better after the class. And so it was--we worked on a lot of dexterity games like throwing and catching balls. I arrived at the class early--and sat in my car for a while. While sitting there, I nodded off and fell asleep. I was surprised that I did that--I don't think I've ever done that before.

The classes which are 1.5 hours long--seem to go by really fast. Partly because I'm getting the stamina--and can sustain an activity longer than when I started training.

Got a call from the PCP and the imaging facility--he said my x-rays were clean. The imaging tech scheduled me in a for a needle biopsy 10/31--an appropriate day (Halloween). She scheduled me in at 10am--which means I'll miss the RSB class that morning.

But it matters little--the lump is getting lumpier and needs to be indemnified and handled. Stretching out the time is making it more difficult--better to get it ID'd and taken care of. From what I can read--there is only a low probability of the thing being cancerous (about 5%). But it seems to be growing quickly--hanging downward more as it gets larger.

Still no pain or sensations or anything that indicates that the item is even there--except when I palm the area and can feel it directly with my hand.

After getting the biopsy results next week (about Wednesday)--that will set things in motion to schedule the surgery (based on what the biopsy results indicate).

I'm wrestling with lots of varied thoughts about all of this--and what I need to do as events proceed.
