I'm glad you're not too worried. I totally agree with you about the planning thing. Plus you seem to be pretty aware of what types of things are helpful for you in general. I hope it will turn out to be nothing. I agree that Tuesday is a long time to wait to have something like that checked out.
I had cancer once, and it started as a lump that I figured was nothing much. When it had been around a while, I went to the nurse at my student health center, and she wanted me to see the doc. The doc wanted me to see a specialist. The specialist wanted lots of tests. The tests led to more tests. And eventually surger and radiation therapy. And now it's 13 years later, and not a sign of it. So, my point is that even when things don't go as you hope, they can end really well.
Er . . . I guess my story might be more scary than reassuring. Sorry if it hits you that way. But really, I see the whole episode as a blessing at this point. Nothing helps straighten out your priorities like a cancer scare. I really hope yours is very short - like only until Tuesday.
