I slept very well last night and it was helpful that Totty didn't get up through the night. It was Totty's birthday today. I should have got a special dinner for her but she will have to make do with the bed we bought her on Saturday.
We were out for an early walk this morning and it was still very humid.
I went to my class early as I wanted to ring the consultants office when it opened so I sat in my car and used my mobile so I could catch them early. I was offered an appointment for next Tuesday but of course we are away so she offered the next Tuesday but I was so worried I asked if she had a cancellation for today which she did for 3.30 so I took that.
I did my class and it was really warm in the hall and I was relieved when it was finished.
I got home and called the garage to say I was in and they could deliver my car anytime. They arrived at 1.00 and it is really nice.
I went out to the doctors and he was really nice. I explained I had the same problem 13 years ago and had been checked every year until 2006 when I was signed off. He examined me and did a biopsy told me I would need them removing and that would be with a general anaesthetic. I can either continue with him privately or he will refer me to a consultant in the public sector. He said I would be OK to wait for a few months and everything would be OK but they have to be removed or they may turn to full blown cancer. He was very reassuring and I felt much better after I had seen him. The cost would be $2,200 plus the anaesthetist and he can do it in December. I will need to wait for the biopsy results and then find out how long the waiting list is and then decide on my next move. I am one very relived lady tonight!
The hardest part about this was not having anyone to tell so I was very pleased when Jon called to speak to me from Melbourne. I also popped in to speak to Alison on my way home and she was very kind. She is a woman of few words but is a very good listener and it really helped. She also told me she was glad we would be staying for the four years which was nice of her. She also liked my new car!
Not going swimming tomorrow, not a good idea after the biopsy. Les has transferred the money to the bank and has the car insured so I will go over and pick her up and bring her back here to get the car and then I will drive in front of her so she can follow and find her way back. She is looking forward to being able to get around a bit more.
