Where I spent (some of) my morning
The Department of Public Health here in Buttercupland once again reminds citizens of Buttercupland that routine screenings save lives and the life you save may be your own. It also might be the life of someone we love. We practice what we preach in Buttercupland and I've set up my routine screenings. My Mammogram was accomplished today, dermatologist is next month and I even scheduled the dreaded colonoscopy for January. Check, check, check.
There's always anxiety going for a mammogram, but thankfully, the result was "See you next year," and that's the best news of the month. I'm fortunate that the radiology practice where I've been going for the last twenty years is unique. One of the radiologists reads the mammogram while I wait and then talks to me about their findings. I know that's not the norm anymore, but I am so grateful that I didn't have to carry the anxiety waiting for a letter or phone call.
Autumn finally seems to have arrived in New York City. My flip flops are formally retired and I'm carrying gloves with me all the time now. As always to my amazement Thanksgiving is next week and cranberries are bought and waiting in the refrigerator for my annual cranberry/pear/ginger relish. I'm starting to make lists and more lists, but somehow even when I'm checking things off, the lists don't seem to get shorter. Does anyone else have the same issue? I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in the endless lists this time of year.
As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care.
