Two good days in a row , pain wise . Went to the liver specialist this morning , he says cysts on the liver are quite common and nothing to worry about . They will set me up for another cat scan in a year or so . But , one more very specific blood test because of family history . I checked in , saw the nurse then the doctor then the nurse again , got my paperwork and was back in the elevator in less than 30 minutes . Then I waited that long in the lab waiting room for a blood draw that took less than a minute . Still not too bad , in and out in not much more than an hour . On the way home we stopped to eat and had to wait 20 min. or so for the restaurant to open . Real gyros , it was worth the short side trip and the wait .
  Except for 2 trips to the hospital I hadn't been out in 5 weeks . I drove the 100 and some miles today , had some cramps from the unfamiliar position . Took the scenic route home for portions of the return trip , nice fall colors . Other than some minor discomfort , a really good day . Now that I know I'm not eaten up inside it's time to try to get back into the working population . Going to have to start conditioning my body to prepare .
  Well , folks , I don't want to spoil you by suddenly becoming highly productive , so I'll say take care and remember , life is what YOU make it most of the time . May God's love light your lives . Good night .
