Overdue update....
Feb. 22nd, 2009 11:26 amI'm such a bad LJ'er. I totally neglect this thing sometimes. But, in the interest of catching people up, here's an update...
~*~
Dad's biopsy appointment went well. I didn't feel a thing. I talked with his Doc. Apparently Dad had some tests done in the last month or two and his ::insert prostate test here:: levels were in the "cautionary" range. Doc tells me anything between 3 and 6 is cautionary. Dad tested at 3.98 and his prostate was a little enlarged. So they put him on a month of antibiotics, thinking he had an infection.
After a month of this he was re-tested. His prostate had shrunk some, but his levels went from 3.98 to 4.11. Hence the biopsy. And the waiting for results.
~*~
Day before yesterday I had a minor fender bender. I was at a red light and had to move for a truck making a wide right turn onto the road I was on. As I moved forward to get out of the way, the guy behind me thought the light had turned green and decided to drive.
It was a slow bump, he didn't have much room to accelerate, and I was going slow and there was no damage to the car. I was rather angry though and as a result, I found myself out of the car and standing in the middle of the road screaming at this young man, who wouldn't get out of his car until the police arrived.
I totally blame it on PTSD from my hit and run accident several years ago. I became a much more paranoid driver after that accident, and I admit, I lost it when I got bumped. I don't exactly recall all of what I may have said or did, but I didn't get arrested though, so I assume I wasn't THAT crazy...
I am pretty much injury free, if you don't count the residual muscle stiffness in my shoulders and neck. Yesterday I couldn't lift my arms over my head. TMF had to help me get dressed, put my jacket on, Sherry...my hairdresser next door neighbor brushed and braided my hair.

Friday was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
demonorangel's 36th birthday. She had the day off and spent it running around with a friend, but other than that nothing special happened. I saved it for today. So far she has received a Berry Unmerry Birthday Breakfast of blackberries and whipped cream with a Diet Mountain Dew to wash it down. She's a sucker for blackberries. There is more. She's been warned that she'd better be in a good mood today, even if she requires a nap or there will be DIRE CONSEQUENCES. There may be pics later.
