Jumping Ship
Effective immediately I'll be updating at http://willowisp.dreamwidth.org. I may crosspost to Livejournal, if I decide to figure out how to do so. Until that happens, please look for me on Dreamwidth. -
Resurfacing Yet Again
Let's see if it sticks this time. -
Bullet Point Update
So, it was over a year between my penultimate post and my last one. Here's a quick catch-up:- That iodine infusion reaction that I had turned out not to be the most interesting part of the scan. That would be that the radiologist who read the pictures they did get noticed a mass on my kidney. One ablation and biopsy later and it was ( Read more... )

Is This Thing On?
Whoa. It's been a long time since I posted! A lot has gone on, but I'm posting today in hopes of reaching friends I made playing various Pern-themed MUSHes who aren't on Facebook or who aren't following me there ( Read more... ) -

Initial Thoughts on Reconstruction
[I have marked this as "Explicit" because it involves certain parts of the anatomy to which many people are overly sensitive.

Post 19 Feb 2015 Surgery Update
It's been a little over two weeks since surgery, so I had an appointment with the surgeon yesterday. She was happy with the recovery so far.

I am off of the crutches and the boot, though I'll be wearing sandals for a while ( Read more... ) -
(Surgery) Date
Andy and I went to see the surgeon today. As a side note, she had nothing to do with the bureaucratic nonsense of last week -- she only got the report on Friday and immediately agreed to see me. Nor did she make any comment about us seeing her instead of a podiatrist; she looked at the wound, checked the pulse in my foot and several places on my ( Read more... ) -
Bureaucracy Phone Tag
A week ago today my podiatrist found out that a growth on my foot was a melanoma. She was so concerned that I know about this that, since I wasn't home when she called and she was leaving the office, she left her cell phone number on the answering machine. When she returned my call later that evening, we decided it best to contact Oncology within ( Read more... )
