My head is screwed back on tightly now...

and there's no fear of it spinning wildly in all directions shooting bolts of lightning around the room.. But alas the "we'll give you all the time you need" speech was very short lived.. today the Manager kept coming in every half hour or so asking me when I'd be done... the place was jammed with customers (over 420 for the day) and I could understand her being anxious for me to come back out.. but come on... she had to know that the more she did that the more tense it was making me... but the day's over and the long weekend is upon us... thank God!!

To add to the stress I had an appointment with the specialist yesterday (I've been bleeding from my bowel since the middle of February, not every day but on and off maybe once a week or so... and now I have to go in to get another scope (I had one done about two years ago and found it an unpleasant experience but not unbearable) and this time he wants to do a different scope, this time down my throat as well to see if I may have some stomach problems. So I'll be probed from both ends.. I know, the visuals leave something to be desired... I told R that I hope they don't use the same scope for both procedures, especially if they do the bowel one first... I know, more visuals... sorry... Since there's a history of bowel cancer (my mom) and other cancers in my family he doesn't want to wait and will push to have me in for it before the end of the summer... Wish me luck..
