busy week

Monday was spent in Durham with medical appointments and a little shopping. Karen went with me for my Chest CT scan at Duke and my following Return visit with my thoracic team member. It is always a comfort to have a companion who will listen to everything and have a good read of it all when I go to my checkups. This visit was especially anxious for me after recent conversations with too many non-medical people who believe I have only five years left after my original cancer diagnosis. Karen is a lot more positive than that and she is the person I know who does a lot of self-education on the subject, especially being a lung cancer survivor herself and having a daughter who is a breast cancer survivor. She is always very reassuring.
The prognosis was good but I am not out of the woods for a long time. Next CT scan of my lungs is in 6 months.

1. Stable appearance of the left upper lung status post partial resection.
2. A few tiny less than 3 mm size pulmonary nodules of indeterminate etiology, attention to these on routine follow-up imaging is recommended.

In between my appointments, we had lunch at a nearby cafe. After my last appointment, which was very late, Karen had to switch one of her own appointments to a telemed. It was a regular visit she does often and she made the call in the garden.
After it all was done, we stopped in at Nordstrom Rack before going home and saw some very nice things there.

Tuesday I went grocer shopping with MonsterMustDie, who had his heart set on chocolate croissants from Lidl.
I came home and started prep vegetables for my cucina povera version of stuffed roasted pumpkins.
I went to the gym for the Power 30 workout. After the workout, I really just wanted to relax so I put off cooking for the night.

Today, I plan to send cooking vegetables - stuffed pumpkins and brussels sprouts.
It will probably be all be for me alone to eat on the rest of the week. MonsterMustDie is an incredibly picky eater now.
