A Fantasy Come True

I don't think that the antibiotics are having any effect. I have two days left and nothing has changed. I've been researching Inflammatory Breast Cancer. The usual treatment seems to be chemo, mastectomy, chemo again and radiation. I have some of the symptoms, like stabbing pains in the area. I've had those for months and just thought it was from gravity paying me a visit and stretching things down...down...down (don't laugh). One way to diagnose it is an MRI (sigh).

I figure my options are as follows:
1. See if I can find a bigger tube
2. Get sedated before they stuff me in and hope they can get me out.
3. Just assume I have it and treat me as such.

(I'm leaning towards #3 myself)

On a lighter note, I did something tonight I've been fantasizing about every winter since 1997. Our house was built in 1914. The upstairs bathroom is above the kitchen and is the same size as the kitchen. I have a small kitchen but a HUGE bathroom. Three of the walls are outside walls and you can imagine with the lack of insulation available at the time this home was built (all brick), the bathroom gets pretty cold in the winter. Especially since it has two windows with the original 1914 glass. I usually take a hot shower every night before bed so that I'm warm and can fall asleep right away. Otherwise I have to have my live heater, BDHA. Since he's out of town a lot, it doesn't work out and Mr. Whacko kicks too much.

I bought a small ceramic heater, plugged that baby in and took my shower. The bathroom was nice and toasty afterward and it was a pleasure to put my nightgown on leisurely vs a race with the cold.

I tried this once before right after we moved in. I made the mistake of plugging in the heater, my hair dryer, had the Christmas lights on outside *and* MFD and MFS in their rooms with electronics galore turned on. "spfzzzzt!" A fuse was blown. We're not talking about going down to the basement and finding the fuse and flipping it back on. I had to find a glass fuse and screw it in. There are two fuse boxes for the house; one in the basement (modern) and one on the second floor (runs the second and third floor). The one on the second floor is pretty close to being the original one put in.

Anyways, tonight was a success...that is...until we put the Christmas lights up the day after Thanksgiving. Guess when I try it after that, I better have a flashlight and glass fuse ready.
