119.4

Worried about my daughter today - she said the biopsy was quite painful last week so is dreading it even more since she knows what is involved. Brings back memories of the horrific procedures eldest DD had to endure. It will be at least 5 days before she gets results again but hopefully they will be able to determine what it is (or maybe more importantly what it isn't).

We stunk at our last day of bocce yesterday but had fun. One of our group tried to sign 6 couples including us up for the Spring Fllng dinner dance at the Beach Club in April. It is the best attended event of the year. She was on right at 9 when signup opened up and got kicked out of the system, then it said it was full when she tried to get back in. She attempted to call the concierge but when she couldn't get through drove down to see her in person. So we are on the waitlist. Lots of stores from others who had the same experience. Such frustration! Like the COVID vaccine signup in the early days. They told her there should be no problem getting us off the waitlist but we shall see. I need to get on at 9 today and try to do the same for the Easter brunch but just for the 2 of us. Hopefully not as frustrating an experience.

The weather is supposed to be gorgeous today so probably Beach Club followed by practicing golf. I am bringing a friend as a guest to golf next week and she is nervous so she wants to practice a few times.

Time to check in with DD before she goes, then walk Justice. Have a thick Thursday!

Another pretty day here, although about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday. Same tomorrow, but a little warmer.

And that's absolutely ALL I have to report--except that I stayed up all night long reading the internet. Didn't get a lick of sleep. (I do this sometimes.) I'm still not through with the internet, so when I finish I'll let you know what's going on out there. ;-]

P.S. I feel a little guilty when I don't post anything, so that's why you got this nada post today.

No sleep will do that.

So now I am starting to freak out about my DD. Apparently the situation was worse and no biopsy was possible today. And all more painful for DD. Awakening so many fears partially fueled by history. The doctor did throw out the possibility of trying the procedure in an OR vs her office next time so more can be done (and DD can be anesthetized). I think DD will ask for that. My gut tells me this doctor has it in her head that she needs to preserve DD's fertility but DD doesn't want children. She needs to be adamant with her doctor but why don't they listen to women? I feel like my niece was not treated aggressively enough at first with her breast cancer for the same reason even though my niece had stressed that getting rid of the cancer trumped her desire to have another child and she had already accepted it. Just so frustrating to be a woman and not be listened to!

Off my soapbox now. But I am getting very concerned.

Can't "like" this post, but want to acknowledge that I hear your concern and frustration. I don't know what you mean that the situation was worse and no biopsy was possible, but that doesn't sound "good". Your DD is in my thoughts and prayers! Fingers crossed.

It's so hard to be your own advocate too when you're scared. Is there someone who can go with her to push for what she wants? An assertive friend?

I know from experience how painful non-anesthetic IUD insertion is, I can't imagine if they were taking a biopsy down there.

I am thinking about flying up there if she wants me.

Gosh Liz we are sorry to hear of DD's continuing issues. Seems like they should do the general anesthetic. Good for you to be willing to travel if she needs you. Doctor's not listening? True. Sending good energy for a good outcome. We are thinking of you both.

More later.

I'm so sorry for your daughter having to go through this and you too. Praying for a good outcome. Of course you are willing to fly north and help her through this, because you are the kind of Mom everyone hopes to have.

Blowing like stink today as my dad says! One of my new trees blew over, of course. Because nothing is easy.

I took a birthday plant and card over to my friend's this morning. She invited me to dinner with her family tonight at a great restaurant. Right now I am getting a full sniff-down from Kirby as I saw his girlfriend there. Makes it hard to type. Her dad opened a door to look outside and the wind blew a glass piece off her table to shatter on the floor. So the visit included participating in glass clean up...

I think I will continue with the office clean up today. i forgot my shot yesterday, so need to go do that too.

Take care, friends! (My typo turned that into "take credit, friends!" so do that too as autocorrect commands it!)
