Ephemera #177

It seems I'm writing less and less.

• Since my last Ephemera post I have had my prostate biopsy and I have received results.  The results were confusing initially because I expected a twenty-four biopsy sample but only twelve were listed in the results.  After talking to the Urology PA I discovered that the twelve were locations and two samples were taken at each location.  The next confusing thing about my results was that they were all benign.  This felt strange since a year ago I had several samples with cancerous cells.  Again, my PA cleared this up telling me that this is not abnormal and it simply means my cancer is not growing/spreading.  So, what all this means is the news was all positive.  I will be seeing the urologist in a year and we'll see if she wants another biopsy done then.
  
  I mentioned last Ephemera post that the biopsies felt like little bee stings.  It turns out my last urologist just wasn't very good at it.  My new urologist was awesome.  She announced each sample and I hardly felt anything.  When I did feel something she added more local anesthetic, something my old urologist never even asked if I wanted.
• Last weekend we went to the Wife's stomping grounds and met with a few of her family that were visiting.  We had a fun evening at the Haverhill Social Club.
• The egg by our front door has a brother/sister.  The two eggs should be hatching sometime this week.
• Since my last Ephemera post I walked seven times for a total of 56.5 miles (91 km).  This coming week the weather, specifically dangerous heat indexes, will likely stop me from walking.
