Tom texted me from his appointment yesterday afternoon which took a while because the place was packed. I told him I suddenly had a feeling come over me saying they weren’t going to treat him that day. Sure enough, they just ended up doing the biopsy. We’re pretty sure it is cancerous, though. The big question is how they’re going to get rid of it. Apparently, this kind of cancer has roots. It’s not a simple precancerous thing on the surface like what I had. My biggest fear is - and always has been - him needing to be in a hospital overnight or driven home. I know he could Uber home, but If he ever had to stay in a hospital for more than a few days, it would be hard for me to visit him. Uber would end up costing a fortune, I would think. I’m sure I could ask a neighbor for a ride, but I would hate to have to do that. I think I would rather that, though, than Uber.

The burning down there is back. It’s gone right now but that might be because I used the cream the GYN gave me for irritation. It comes and goes. I finally decided to message her too. I told her I had a discharge a couple of days ago and started using the Monistat, the discharge went away, but I still have burning on and off, and asked whether or not I could be infected and need Diflucan again or if this is just part of menopause. I have a feeling she’s gonna tell me to get a regular exam. I hope not because it would be twice as painful with the irritation.

Guess who woke up gasping for air last night? I was sleeping on my stomach and my face may have been jammed into the pillow edge and mattress too much depending on the angle of my head. I might have been dreaming about gasping for air, but I definitely woke up and had to suck in a huge breath. So I would be almost as surprised if they didn’t tell me I had sleep apnea as I would have been if they told me my thyroid was fine and my schedule was just a bad habit I’d acquired.

They're finally replacing the fence in back! What luck with the timing too since I'm on days now. We're guessing they'll be done today or tomorrow. It's going to look so much better. I shared a pic of the progress so far with Irma.
