Winter does not get to come before I get out of here later this month. I remember the year of the Halloween blizzard and do NOT, I repeat NOT, want to experience that again.

The doctor says the ultrasound showed nothing abnormal. Dave can still feel the lump. The pulse in that side of his throat is substantially quieter than the pulse in the other side. But, apparently that’s all normal.
Now we wait for Dave’s appointment with the ENT regarding his hoarseness. Which isn’t supposed to have anything to do with the lump. But…

They did an ultrasound of Dave’s throat this afternoon. The tech gave no sign of finding or not finding anything. So now we wait for the radiologist to read the test then call Dave’s doctor. Then we wait for the doctor to call Dave. We get to do that waiting at home. More waiting room.

Not the sentimental kind. The physical kind.
I don’t know how long it has been there.
What I do know is that yesterday Dave said he has a doctor appointment today. He just made the appointment.
No I didn’t need to worry about them getting him in so soon. It’s a new doctor.
Well, not really new. The doctor has been practicing for 30 years. He’s just new to Dave’s clinic so he hasn’t yet built up a large following here. He’s Ukrarian.
No, I don’t know if here just means this clinic or in the USA. We have a large Ukranian population here in the Twin Cities. In fact, back in high school I dated a Ukranian. So the doctor could have lived here as long as I have.
So Dave is in the clinic and I am in the waiting room.
Waiting.

Update: The doctor could not feel the lump Dave feels. He ordered an ultrasound to be done later at a different facility. He also referred Dave to an ENT for the voice weakness Dave has been having for several months. So it goes on.
Today is the day it begins. Tomorrow my van will no longer look like this:
It will be the end of October before it’s ready for me to pick it up, though.
(Ignore those things in the back of it. That’s my iPad and GPS we sat down to take the picture when we were in Texas.)
TTYL,
Linda
