I've got three tumors on my lower left leg......How's that for a way to start off a conversation???? LOL.. First of all, let me say that I have tumors pretty much all over, and up to this point they have all been benign, so why should this time be any different?? Actually, I should feel a little silly for even writing about this considering how many times I've "been there, done that"..but I can't help it. Each time is like the first time.. Hard to explain.. The other day when I woke up and tried to walk, my foot ached.. Luckily, I was off that day and the next, and when it still didn't quit hurting I decided to see my medical Dr, thinking maybe I had tendonitis....I was then taken for an xray, and after that is pretty much history.. I got the same comment that I've gotten several other times.. "You need to follow up with your orthopedic surgeon..." Would you believe the day after I left my Dr's office, his secretary called to remind me that I needed to make an appt with the ortho, and when I told her I'd already done it, her response was "Great.. When are you going??" LOL.. I don't know whether to be impressed or insulted. I've told a few people this story.. Actually, I've told a few people on the net and a few people in my real life.. and basically, I try to make a joke of it.. I mean, what else is there to do?? But, in the back of my mind there is always a worry... What if....I'm not even going to finish that sentence..I really do feel bad for rambling like this, but it's necessary.. At the moment, a very dear friend of mine is suffering from breast cancer, so I don't really feel like talking about it around her....so this is a good way to vent....
