Monday at 10:50

I have a doctor's apt at Kiaser on Monday at 10:50 to discuss my AAA.  That's my own lil' Aneurysm of the thorasic Aortial kind.  Last December (2014 year) I was diagnosed with a Thoracic Aortal Aneurysm about 3.8cm in diameter.  Not a great problem to have as the only fixes are operations of the dangerous kind.  Of course I used the internet to research this issue-of-the-aortial-tissue problem and made myself comfortable with what was going to happen.  The situation changed 2 days ago when I was requested to get my body into Kiaser for a follow-up inspection via ultrasound.  That was done this morning, the result was the thing is larger, now 4.7cm and my new doctor has referred me to a thorasic specialist.  Thus the upcoming surgery on my unfriendly Aneurysm.

This morning was also my cooking class at Ironwood, GR and I were Megan's etudiant for this session.  The subject was Stocks, Soups and Emulsions.  We made a shrimp with vegetables and Fetuccini and a Roasted Cauliflower Soup.  We both passed, at least we think so.

If I get nothing else out of my medical predicament it might just be that I've started to blog again.  I got burned out, wordless last summer.  I'm NOT a writer, just a person that wanted to explain himself in a timely way as shit happens and reactions occur.  It's how life is after all, our destiny is whatever it is, not pre-determined but created by circumstance and happy accident.  So now I have a subject to reflect my self off of and see the truth of it.  I like doing research, this but another great opportunity to learn.
