At least that's what it seemed like today at the clinic. Since Thursday night, I've been having a lot of pain in my left shoulder with limited mobility of that arm (but I can still knit). Saturday I noticed a lump on the neck end of the left collarbone. I called then to see who the 'doctor-on-duty' was, but since it was one I don't care for, I decided to wait until today and see my regular doctor.
When the nurse called me in, she asked if I thought X-rays should be done. I said probably and showed her the lump. She sent me across to X-ray, and they took three pictures. When the doctor saw me and then saw the X-rays, she wanted other views, so I went back to X-ray, where they took three more pictures. None of these show anything wrong (of course, I've heard that she's not the best at reading X-rays, but the radiologist will review them). She is going to order a CT scan, and also refer me to a new arthritis specialist in town. On the way out, she had me go to the lab, where they took three vials of blood for testing.
Finished Projects
I finished the mittens and matching hat today. When I asked Dominic if the hat was cute, he said NO, but he put it on his head and wanted me to take a picture of him. I like the way that variegated yarn looks in linen stitch. I think I'll try it in several other stitch patterns as well.
The hat and mittens are for a child, of course. They'll go to some social service agency to be given to someone who needs them.
