I Believe This Is What Is Referred To As A “Rough Spot”



What a fucking month this has been.  Like the pandemic itself, the cold dark winter days, a case of Seasonal Affective Disorder, scary Omnicrom infection spikes, my decision not to tutor because of number of people getting sick and not being able to escape to San Diego for the season wasn’t enough, let’s add a health scare!


My lump on my back was getting more uncomfortable. So a doctor appointment led to an ultrasound which led to an MRI which led to a most unsettling and uncertain month.   


Thankfully, my results are in and I have an area of “central lobulated fat in the subcutaneous fat” in my lower back.  Annoying but nothing serious.  I am very very very relieved and grateful it is nothing more serious.   It really is true about the blessings of having your health!
