OYAM

Sometimes working in reverse is not a bad thing. I had forgot to mention to others that we were heading back to Mayo for scans. So I'm a little behind with the information. The point is we're here and we got to stop at Kutter Harley (my personal favorite store) and see Kerry (our favorite Harley Lady)!




"Did you post?" Kim sat across from me this morning as we reclined in the first of many waiting rooms, sipping down our morning caffeine.

"Huh?" I was fairly certain what she meant, but in order to deflect the question, buy some time to down a few more sips of 'Ahhhhh, that's good', and to hopefully have something / anything else suddenly happen that would distract her from the original question, I reckoned the 'huh' retort would be sufficient.

"You heard me," there it was. The no non-sense 'you heard me' response. As if she had been down this road with me before and knew that I was dodging, ducking, and generally in avoidance of any responsibilities. "You didn't post,... did you?" She knew the answer, but in the grand scheme of things, just needed to hear me admit to it.

"I will," taking another drink in order to pump myself up for more quick, diverse thinking in case she had more matter of fact questions for me,... like, 'Did you remember to charge your cell phone so that it works and I can get a hold of you if I need to?' Any one who knows me well, knows that I'm against cell phones when it comes to them ringing anywhere and everywhere. Half the time I have mine, it's more for show because it's either off or has a dead battery that I forget to charge.

Okay, enough about my cell phone habits,... we're back at Mayo for a series of scans and tests. Hannah's been jumping from one waiting room to the next with us in tow. SO far we've managed a couple heart tests, an MRI, and currently wait for the CT. It's not the tests that are the most nerve racking of all (unless you were to ask Hannah about needles - she may have a different view). It's that first doctor's visit... the one in which you hear the results of the tests. You would think it's something you just get use to, but unfortunately it's kind of like taking the driver's license test - you feel fairly confident going into the test, but there's also a touch of apprehension that there may be something on the test that you weren't ready for and may not be able to answer correctly. That's pretty much it in a nutshell,.. just magnified by a lot.

"I posted," writing accomplished, I was happy to report back to Kim that I found some quiet time to jot a few lines. Thanks for reading. I will live to write another day!
