Finally some cooler weather! It arrived Sunday and will last a couple of more days. I've been taking advantage of it by working outside. I got bit on the arm by a giant black ant over the weekend. Right now it looks like a boil. Gross. It still itches, too.
On Saturday, Linda and I went to Winter Park. A friend's daughter is redoing some of her landscaping and had tons of African irises and peace lilies taken out. We have them now. Yay, free flowers! We also went to Whole Foods Market while in Winter Park and I got some Stravecchio Parmesan that I tasted the last time I was there. Awesome. I found this tidbit on a website: Stravecchio (extra-old) Parmesan is aged over two years. "Vecchio" (old) is aged from 1 1/2 to 2 years. These two are the cheeses sold and used for grating. Most Parmesan is sold as "vecchio".
That's your Italian lesson for the day. Old or extra-old, it's good stuff!
I saw my surgeon this afternoon to have her check out the area of my lumpectomy scar. She said it's very typical for there to be residual swelling of the tissue after radiation and that it could be that way for some time. She checked it out via ultrasound her examining room and didn't see any fluid that sometimes accumulates. So everything is okay, thank God. My doc said that the only way to be 100% sure it's nothing serious is to remove it, but she said she sees no reason to do so. I'm having a mammogram in late May, so I'll see her once I have the films. I'll be seeing her, my medical oncologist and my radiation oncologist around that time frame. Gee they're almost like family, lol.
I was flipping through channels this evening and caught a bit of the Country Music Television (CMT) awards. Did you know that Carrie Underwood is a human Barbie doll? She looks just like her. I'm wondering if Carrie and Barbie have ever been seen in the same room together. Hmmmmm.....
