Last week, I saw a retinal specialist and had an ultrasound done on my thyroid.
The eye dilation is a pain and gives me a headache but the retina guy was lovely. He said I had a CHRPE (pronounced 'chirpy') which is basically a very dark freckle. He doesn't think it's raised, so he wouldn't call it a mole. He wants to see me in 6 months time to make sure it hasn't changed shape.
The thyroid ultrasound was painless and quick. The endocrinologist called me back yesterday to tell me I have a small nodule on my thyroid and he would like to biopsy it. Apparently 30% of women have these nodules and only 4% of those are malignant.
Living in the US could make the worst hypochondriac very happy!
In other news, I've been pretty hormonal this week. Tired as well. I finally got to attack my UK home PC hard drive over the weekend and found this:
I hadn't remembered we'd taken it of Miranda and him. In the first instance, I was amazed and ecstatic that it existed but on the other hand, and this is why I spent most of Sunday in tears, I am so very, very sad that there will never be one of him and Gabriel.

Is that your grandfather? I was thinking about my Grandmum this morning (Dad's mum) as my mum told me that Grandmum used to say that breastfeeding is one of the joys of life. And I was thinking how funny it is that I am now bfing the grandson of the baby she bfed! But it is sad too that she will never see Simon, as I know she would have been dotty about him!
