This is a public service announcement.

Mammograms and breast exams are important. Really important. If you're a woman, do regular self exams and make sure you don't neglect mammograms.

I'm worried sick about someone. She's trying not to be worried, and maybe she's sure it's just weird but benign. But we don't know yet. :(

That is all.

I hope she will be well.

[ThomCat]

7. Oh no!

:(

For what it's worth, I'll be thinking good thoughts. I hope she beats the odds.

[malta blue]

8. Thanks Thom....she can use

all the good vibes there are out there...

:hug: for you - how are you feeling?

Did you get your scooter yet?

[ThomCat]

9. My scooter is stil held up in bureaucracy.

I can't buy it directly from a company that's covered by my insurance, because they don't sell the scooters directly. So I have to go through a dealer who is not on-network, and I am waiting to find out if my Insurance will still pay for it.

The dealer is taking his sweet time, but that might be because they're waiting for responses from the insurance company.

So I'm stuck waiting and I don't know exactly where the holdup is. :shrug:

10. sending hopeful vibes to your friend and you

:hug:

It's hard not to worry.

My mom always said that if you claim it (by worrying about it) then you own it.

Don't claim it.

[ThomCat]

11. I know. I tell myself that "worrying is not the same as resolving."

But I still worry. It's what I do. :(
