No report yet, and you won't believe why not...

Well, I couldn't stand waiting so I called and asked for medical records to try to at least avoid an answering machine.

I got a really, REALLY nice nurse, who talked to me at length, but...

Guess why we haven't heard a word from the radiologist!

Because the urology office HASN'T EVEN SENT THE CT SCAN TO THE RADIOLOGIST YET!

They apologized that their "machine has been down for three days," and they haven't been able to send anyone's CT scans to the radiologist in all that time.

I told her I didn't know how we could continue to breathe for a whole weekend without any word, and she was very understanding. She said she felt terrible for us and was going to try to personally find out something, even if only the stage, without all the other details for now.

For Pete's sake! I could go over there and WALK THE CT SCAN DISC over to the hospital. It's ONE BLOCK!

Again, we feel like we're in a dream. This is just so bizarre, it's impossible to believe it.

Bill, however, is delighted at this result. I'm not kidding! He says he is feeling happy and normal, and was dreading getting the report anyway. Now he can have a nice weekend, he says.

I know everyone has his own way of dealing with things, but I'm at the other end of the spectrum. Still, I respect his process.

But, wow.
