Report Card

Last week…

  1. The big thing that happened last week was that I met with the oncologist. He talked to me about omental caking, told me I very likely have cancer, so I’m letting go of the hope it’s just an infection. We talked about next steps to get a more definitive diagnosis and treatment plan. I hate that I have to wait even a week for what happens next, but oh well. He did give me better pain meds. I’m sleeping well and napping quite a bit.
  2. I worked on edits for one author.
  3. I swam almost every day. It’s the best thing for stress and mental health.
  4. I saw a lawyer to update my will. Just in case…
  5. I continued working on decluttering my art room.

This next week…

  1. I have a PET scan scheduled on Tuesday. They’ll shoot me up with radiation and take pictures to get a better idea of where cancer may be hiding. Then I’ll be scheduled for a biopsy. I guess they need to know what to biopsy before they go in there. Who knew!?
  2. I will finish editing one author’s manuscript and edit the next one in line.
  3. I’ll work on finishing the next Delta Fire novella, Ignition. I only have a couple of chapters to write, and I think I can get through it while I wait for whatever procedures I will be going through. I didn’t make any progress on it this last week, but I was too busy napping. 🙂
  4. I’ll continue swimming and trying to watch what I eat!
  5. I’ll continue working on some small art projects while I declutter my art room.
