A big sigh of relief

I went back to the doctor on Thursday for another test and fully expected that she would find more affected cells. I think even my doctor was surprised that there were no more dysplastic cells. She did a thinprep and another pap test as well as a DNA test and I will get the results next week. She seemed confident that it would all be ok and my next appointment wont be for another 6 months! In some ways my response was a bit confused - I wasn't expecting it to be ok. Boy was thrilled, it was so nice to be able to walk back into reception and tell him that I am all clear. I will need to have regular checks but I am getting used to them now -so that is a good thing I guess!

We both had two days off which I had arranged fully expecting to be in pain for the weekend. Unfortunately I have the flu at the moment as well but it has been really nice to rest over the weekend with boy. We took the hairy fool to the dog beach yesterday and she swam again - looks like she is past her fear of water. There were lots of dogs there so it was a lovely day. Back to work tomorrow but I have had a much needed chance to really get some rest. Perhaps I can view things differently when I return to work - try to keep a handle on the stress.
