1739-1738

Got calls to schedule two procedures--PET scan and bone marrow biopsy. Got the results of my blood panel that was done--everything is within limits which I think is good news. Bone marrow biopsy is scheduled for next Tuesday (7am)--and PET scan is set for the next day (Wednesday, 9:45am). That should complete the testing--unless something shows up in the biopsy or scan. In either case, if something appears in these last two procedures--it will not be good news.

Went to RSB session yesterday--felt good to move and exert the muscles. I zoned out when I got home--and that carried over into today. Although today I intended to get any updates regarding upcoming procedures--and I got them (two mentioned above) and a dose of dread regarding where all of this is going.

I also tapped into the medical records that the oncologist's team uses for patients--another techno bobble but finally have access to stored data. This team appears to use the technology tools more than some others--the only problem is that each team (group, set of specialists) may use different software which puts the files in disparate digital drops. Have to see how to use a cloud to pipe everything into a single location--more techno bobble required.

Today, I felt like I was being doused with occasional buckets of icy water--as the reality of what I'm dealing with sinks in and reveals what I do/can do. There are so many details that need attention--both for both the long and short terms. Item #1--complete a medical directive and get it signed.

Will do an RSB session tomorrow--the early class. Could possibly make class on Tuesday--will be doing the biopsy that morning and if it's done quickly I could just motor on to class afterward.
