The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Sophia Brooks, wow, going to the emergency room was the right decision. I'm glad you are getting expert help.

Waiting for procedures can be tedious and frustrating, but I hope the biopsy gives you and your medical team the information needed for a clear path forward.

Perhaps you do this already, but I found keeping a simple log or diary text document on my phone of events, medications, plans, advice, and schedules is very helpful. It doesn't take long, for all of those things to blur together, and loosing track is very easy without something to refer back to.

Gather information, make a plan, execute the plan. Repeat.

Sound familiar?

My experience has been that telling the tale helps with moving forward. Let us know how it goes.

Sophia, every single good thought and karmic vibe coming your way. I'm sorry you're going through this.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

{{{Sophia}}} So glad they found it! Best wishes that everything you and your medical people are doing now works well!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

{{{Sophia!}}} I'm glad you went to get checked out when you did, keeping you in my thoughts.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh no, Sophia! I'm wrapping you up with love and affection and easiest-path-to-healing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you all. Right now everything is frankly boring because it is the weekend and they can’t really let me go home until the DVT resolves and the know I won’t have a pulmonary embolism that will kill me. The DVT is pretty bad, so blood thinners aren’t really working yet
