The 12th Again

debris4spikeI did say I would try to post - so thought that as yesterday was the 12th I would try to get a monthly entry in to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
monthlydiaryday this time.
So, what did I do yesterday?
Normal 7am alarm call ... at which time I emptied my washing machine onto my whirl-line .... while watching the sunrise clouds changing shape and colour ... normally I'm not awake enough to notice! Then I loaded a second set into the machine. This time I can some of dad's trousers to do ...a rarity as Mum normally does it, but at their ages it's nice to pick up the flack for them when I can. Once I's showered, read my Bible, breakfast, made sarnies ... and hung out the 2nd load I made it to work at 9am (just!)
I was working on Surgical Outpatients. In the morning I was in a breast-care clinic. It never ceases to amaze me how many people come through these clinics ... and sadly how many have poor a diagnosis .... 14 patients in that group ... 2 to receive bad news, and 2 were going off for urgent scans (one male) as the doctor knew they would also get bad news. The rest were scanned, but came back with the all-clear.
Then after lunch I was working in the same area of the hospital, but weighing people as they arrived ... making sure notes were in the correct place ... etc.
Home soon after 5.30, and while the meal was cooking I rushed down the road to the supermarket ... milk, fruit etc a necessity.
After dinner it was ironing ... and more ironing. I watched Robin Hood on the DVD ... Errol Flynn is a great distraction!
Then onto the computer for a bit of a catch up, and to make some Blakes 7 icons ... before bed, with my light off at about 11pm (after some Spuffy reading to relax me, of course)

Here one of our TV News stars is Robin Roberts. In 2007, she had breast cancer. In 2012 she was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome. She was very brave and open about it to the public. This year she convinced Amy Robach from the same network, she should have her first mammogram done publicly on the air. Sadly it revealed Amy has breast cancer as well. Talking about our experiences help others to get tests.
I always have some TV or DVD on while I do things. Helps to get the things done with as little pain as possible. I set my washer to do a load about 5am and it's in the dryer now. Too cold here to put things out on a line to dry. They would freeze. We had a cold blast come through yesterday.

I have been amazed how many people are being screened - and sadly how many are being diagnosed with cancer. Working in all clinics, I think there are more breast specialist surgeons than any other specialty.
It is cooling here as well - but yesterday and today the sun has been out all day, so able to be 95% dry ... ideal to iron.

Date: 2013-11-17 09:25 am (UTC)I never do ironing nowadays - I never buy clothes that need to see an iron - but as a teenager I used to do the ironing for my Mom, with my radio on my belt and my earphones in. I used to get a real sense of achievement from seeing the basket empty and the pile of neatly folded clothes grow. ::g::
