April not quite 365 days

17.  Have you ever seen bats flying in your area? Have you ever seen a bat up close or seen a bat house attached to a tree?

Yes, there are bats here. But I'm not out at night, much. So I don't usually see them.


18.  How often do you listen to the radio? If you do, what kind of things do you listen to (talk/pop/classical)?

I listen to it daily. The station is classic vinyl. I love it. It plays oldies. CCR, BTO, ELO and anyone else I used to listen to.

19.  In 1934, Shirley Temple starred in her first film. Have you ever seen any of her films?

I've seen all her films. When my kids were little I had them all on VHS tapes. My kids loved her. I miss seeing those tapes.

1. Reflecting on the past year, what has been the best and worst moment?


The worst moment was when Trump got elected. We will continue being in the worst moments until someone gets him out of there. I'm holding the best moment hostage until he's gone. Then it will be the best moment.

Crunchy question

Have you ever used an Ouija board? Do you think you would?

I did. At a birthday party when I was about 14. It was sort of scary. If I did one today, it probably wouldn’t scare me.

Heard from two of the doctors today about my CT Scan. It has grown since November. It’s now 15x13 mm. It’s very small but worrisome. It was 9x7.


About CT Scan and Bronchoscopy.

Just got this from my docs office.

Dr. de Chazal has reviewed your recent chest CT performed at TMC and observed an increase in the size of the lung nodule. He recommends that you undergo a PET-CT scan, which will provide a more detailed evaluation of the nodule. Rad LTD will contact you to coordinate the scheduling of this procedure. Once the appointment is scheduled, please inform us of the date so that we can arrange a follow-up appointment in our office to review the findings with your healthcare provider.


I got this tonight from the nice doctor I saw last week.

Hi Patt - no, do not worry about it. I've been waiting for the report to be finalized and didn't see it completed until today. I did send a msg to Dr. de Chazal to remind him to look at it. He did put the order in for the bronchoscopy already and talked to Dr. Chandran, the doctor who will do the procedure. I promise, I'm keeping tabs and will check with them again tomorrow. I haven't forgotten about you!
