It has been really cold here in New York these past couple of days. I have been feeling pretty good, considering the lack of sleep that goes along with family gatherings, regardless of the nature of the get together.
When I was selecting the photo for this neck update, I noticed how much more red my scar is and that I have something that looks like a pimple above my scar. Odd, because I've had a scarf wrapped around my neck for 80% of this trip, so it has been well protected from the east coast elements. No weird tingly feeling along my scar, but earlier this evening, it was itchy, so I was actually scratching at it!
Oddly enough, I got a 'reminder call' about my second opinion ENDO appt yesterday. Right, the appt I had made for March 17, was some how scheduled for February 17. I rescheduled it for March 3. Still have to get my medical records forwarded to ENDO #2.
My neck has gotten a lot of exposure on this trip - it didn't have to go through the x-ray machine at the airport (Yay!), but it got to meet half of my first cousins on my dad's side of the family, it got to experience colder than normal temps (for a warm-weather-neck), and it even got to see the Statue of Liberty (well, from the Staten Island Ferry).
Quite an adventure for my neck, especially since 364 days ago, the only worry it had in the world was the ENDO appt that ended up changing everything for it. Yes, that appt was on Feb 17, 2010. My neck has been through a lot this past year, but it has made it through everything nevertheless. It's in the clear, at least until June and July. So, tell me, how does my neck look?
