Pregnant?

Bill and I set out at 10AM for San Francisco. He had an errand he wanted to take care of at Paul’s Hat Works. This delightful little throw-back shoppe is runs by 4 women partner’s. There are vintage hats everywhere. This is a men’s haberdashery but we were told that many women are purchasing men’s hats for themselves. Bill was having an old beaver-felt Stetson refurbished. An antique [1906] head-measuring device was employed. Paul’s is on Geary between 25th and 26th on the north side. Visit it soon! We then headed for the VA, an hour early. They would not check in any afternoon appointment until 12:30 so I took Bill out to the seating area at Land’s End. We sat and talked surrounded by beautiful bright red clematis overlooking the Marin Headlands and Point Bonita Lighthouse. After checking in we waited for almost an hour as a power failure wreaked havoc with the building. Everything was hooked up to extension cords and only 3 rooms were available for use. Dr. Corvera finally came in and we started discussing the situation. He brought up the scan on the computer and when he got to my abdomen he exclaimed “Wow! You are pregnant with tumor.” He was shaken by the size of it as well as its position. It was his opinion that a laparoscopic tissue extraction was inappropriate and that we would be better off doing a core biopsy through a channel in my back. He ordered up another CT Scan for the 6th of June and hopefully the biopsy procedure immediately after. I have to wait to hear if the biopsy will get scheduled on the 6th. I kept the appointment on the14th as the results should be available by then. I am going to digest all this and will write more later. Right now I am kinda tired.
