Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hi friends, I phoned the ortho guy today. Couldn't phone before because of the lumps that Dr. Bykerk found under my arms and I had to see a General Surgeon. He is not concerned about the ones under my right arm but wants the one under my left, out. Therein lies a problem, he won't do it without a general anesthetic and, of course, I can't have it. Now, we are leaving it so he wants me go to my gp every two weeks to have the lump measured and he will assess the situation in 3 months. Now, getting back to my phone call. I asked the nurse if it would be possible for her to look in her book and see where on the list I was for my operation. I was absolutely stunned when she replied, " I can get you in on April 20 if you like " . Of course I said yes. but still wondering about her statement. So there you have it, the whole story. Well, not the whole story, the general surgeon is a lovely man with a great sense of humour. He checked my boobs and said they felt like sand and when I told him I had never had a mammogram, he said, do you want one? then drew a picture of how it is done and when I said I didn't want one he laughed and said he didn't blame me because he thought it would hurt like hell. Funny, isn't it, if any doctor laughs and shows a sense of humour, I am convinced he must be good! Hope to get caught up with my email this weekend since I am very behind. 3 grandchildrens birthdays March 4, 18, 22 and 31. It seems all I have done is make bread and bake birthday cakes.
