Today I had to go to Dunedin Hospital (about 1 1/2 hours' drive south) to be rescreened following my recent mammogram. Fortunately, today's close-up mammogram was clear, as was the ultrasound they did afterwards to make sure. Whew. It was a real relief, as you can't help but worry. Especially as they tell you nothing till the last minute.I travelled on the shuttle van, partly becasue of the icy roads and partly in case it was bad news - I didn't want to have to drive home if I was upset. So there was quite a bit of waiting around at the hospital to fit in with the shuttle times.
I took the Baby Surprise with me which was a good idea. Knitting is soothing and it helps keep your mind off things. I have seen this pattern described as " what a sting ray would look like if you made one in garter stitch" - you can see that's quite a good description.
If you can't imagine what it'll look like finished, keep watching this space!
Very glad to hear that your mammogram was clear. I had one done a couple of weeks ago and have heard nothing yet so I think that is good news.
ReplyDeletegreat news!
ReplyDeleteI'f I had known I would have come over for coffee/tea/whatever. We have had some very icy mornings recently.
Good call re. van to Dunedin Shirley, and very cool that the outcome was good news.
ReplyDeleteI like the colours in stringray and was reminded how my son had a stringray [which he called Ray] stuffed toy, that was just the bee's knees.It seems to be a shape that can hold a lot of promise, and no matter what the concept once there are eyes and a tail it's heaps of fun, but I presume in your creation there is a higher purpose.
So pleased to hear about the clean bill of health.
ReplyDeleteI've got to try that pattern. It looks so clever.
