Under the knife, two years later
Tomorrow, it will be two years to the day that I went under the knife in an effort to confirm or squelch the theory that I had stage two lymphoma. I had my throat slit and a probe was sent down into my chest, narrowly avoiding my lungs and heart and a biopsy of my swollen lymph node was taken. (I remember laying on the gurney as I was being wheeled in, thinking that 05/05/05 was a pretty memorable date, whatever happened.)
What it came back with, of course, was sarcoidosis, which was a new one on me, and I think everyone I knew.
Two years later, I still have some lingering problems with granuloma in my joints, particularly on my left side, but they’re diminishing over time. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was completely gone by this time next year.

Don’t go wheeling anywhere any time soon, please.
