    Girlfriend’s wrist operation today. She developed a cyst in her left wrist that’s been painful for her over a year ago now. We’ve finally gotten to the stage where they’ll do actual surgery and remove it. Let’s hope this will be the end of it and she’ll be better once she heals

    Tomorrow I’m going to get an ultrasound to see if there is something wrong with my thyroid.

    Truth is, I am somewhat afraid.

    And so it goes.

      Thyroid is pretty good as far as health issue go. It’s superficial so no deep surgery if it goes that way. If it’s just a bit funky you can take Thyroxine? (T3/T4 hormone IIRC) which is cheap on the PBS. Finally better to know than not so you can deal with it appropriately.

      Thyroids are temperamental bastards! Mine crashed in pregnancy 13 years ago and hasn’t worked properly since. I’ve been stable on thyroxine for the most part, but when I was too low I developed a nodule, which i was convinced was cancer. It wasn’t, and a dose increase reduced the nodule again. The ultrasound can be a bit uncomfortable with rhe pressure but I’m sure yours will be good.

      I had to get one of those when I got my cancer diagnosis. They were looking for nodules on the parathyroid glands. A bit uncomfortable, but not terrifying. The tech who did the test was really good at explaining.

    Inspired by Force, what’s your perfect burrito? I’m a fan of spicy chicken, rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese and avocado. If I’m having a big feels day, some con queso to dip it into. There is to be absolutely no beans near my burrito, please and thank you.

        You can get those Edgel tins of blackbeans with lime or salsa. One of those with a tub of 40 second rice gets you most of the way there. I’d also make a mix subbing refried beans for beef mince and I actually prefer it. Jackfruit is great too mixed with all the flavours for a burrito mix

          If my nails survive tomorrow, I will paint them something bright, glittery and cheerful. But I’m also thinking of cutting them in anticipation of tomorrow (lots of lifting and wrestling things at work tomorrow) and it turns out I’m like Catfish and don’t love painting my nails when they’re short.

          … I’ll keep them in hopes of bright!!
