 Saturday and the weather is threatening, putting Joan and her friends in a quandary about going to the baseball game this evening. And I am uncertain whether to book a seat at the Avalon or wait and see whether Joan will quit the baseball trip and come with me.

And I am also reacquainting myself with the blog...how I sign in and how I compose an entry, how I fix the font and its size. It's mostly coming back to me now and I think I should do more of this as it quickens my two finger typing.

Let's just see what happens when I hit 'publish.'

Waiting for the Doctor...

 Three days ago I went to the doctor and had an echo-cardiogram, a blood test, and a general check up. Now I am waiting for the doctor to call me and give me the results of the blood test and the echo-cardiogram. I called two hours ago and was told the doctor would call me back..and I am still waiting.

My worry is the PSA--an indicator of prostate cancer--which had been normal for some years, but the last blood test showed a small upward tick--so I am worried what that indicator will show.

He has just called--no blood test results, but the echo cardiogram is the same as the last time--it is at the lower range of what is normal, but it IS normal. And there has been no deterioration. But dammit, now I have to wait through the weekend for the blood result, with the continual worry about the PSA.
