Almost out of the woods

We saw the doctor today. For my follow-up on the recent hospital visit.

She looked me up and down, read my lab results and told us the pancreatitus was a fluke and I should be just fine regarding that. She also told me that I'm lucky because it can be fatal. I thought, "wow, fatal? I am lucky, in so many ways."

Then she said that I needed a follow-up ultrasound because I have a cyst on my left ovary.

"It's probably nothing, no big deal"

"It will probably go away on it's own. If not, we will refer you to OB and go from there."

Well, with that I thought...."hmm. She's saying no big deal... Don't stress Am... but bear in mind that Mom had ovarian cancer and it's 80% fatal"

Then Joe broke into my thoughts with these words... "don't worry till you have to"

So, I won't (but I will).

We are out of the woods. Well, almost.
