Surgery
Yesterday morning I had a lumpectomy, and now am waiting for the pathology report to come back. Following the surgery, the surgeon told me that he wanted me to make an appointment to see him in his office to go over the pathology report with me rather than calling me on the phone. That, combined with the fact that he took more tissue than he originally planned, has me convinced that whatever he found is bad, as in cancer bad. I won’t know anything until Thursday morning, however, so for now I’m just playing a waiting game.
In the meantime, I received the first assignment for the Evidence class I’m scheduled to take this summer. The class begins on Monday and the assignment is lengthy enough to keep me busy between now and then. The idea of a law school casebook reading assignment is surprisingly comforting to me. I never thought I’d say that briefing cases and reading procedural rules could be comforting, but I think it is because it is familiar and I know how to do that. I haven’t quite figured out how to have cancer yet.
