Escalation

Doc poked and prodded (gently) this morning and said that the lump appears to be reducing slightly. He extended the prescription for heparin but not for penicillin. Apropos which, I mentioned that I still had the feeling of a lump in my upper thigh when I sat, so he suggested making an appointment with a vein specialist in case there is a second clot there that he missed. I'll keep you posted.

Went to the office today, and had a very hard time of it: there isn't a single non-ergonomically-awful chair in the place. I shall have to work from home for the foreseeable future, as I can't afford to get a second chair like the one I have here (400 Euros and it was definitely worth every penny, but I don't have that many pennies).

Today is Udge Watanabe's rezzday, he was born in Second Life a year ago. Such fun I have had! Thanks to all friends real and virtual for the encouragement and amusement and tears, it's been a gas.

To blow my own horn just a little longer this is my nine hundredth post, just short of my blog's fourth birthday (on August 20th, if you want to bake a cake). Hooray!! Once more I must say: such fun I have had, with your able assistance and encouragement. Thank you all so much for reading and commenting and writing back.
