Told Dr. N. myself the results!

I tried to call Dr. N. with the good news but he wasn't there. They left him a message. I didn't want him to find out from a piece of paper or at the Tumor Board tomorrow.

I was so happy last night that I scampered out of the Dr. G's office, without *paying*. Oops. So I get a little call this morning...

I dropped by, before getting the older two at school, and paid the bill. I then looked at the time and realized that I had about 20 minutes. I was next door to Adassa and the Radiology Department so I stopped by. Don't worry about the message, I told the staff, I just wanted to give him the good news myself but you can tell him for me...

Then, of course, he walked in. He was almost defensive. "Bonjour. Got your message. I haven't had time... Is there something wrong?" Um no. The results, no, he didn't know and I told him. Big smile. "So it was cancer too! So good thing I hooked both of them!" Um, right.

Then I went to thank him when one of his staff interrupted "Noooo! Don't do THAT! If you do, he'll become an egotistical maniac and be mean to us *all afternoon*!!"

"Since when have I been "mean" to YOU??" he said through gritted teeth to the one behind the computer. I was having trouble visualizing him being mean to anyone really and quite frankly, when going to thank someone for perhaps saving one's life, perhaps a bit of egomania is in order??

I had obviously chosen the wrong audience for my Hallmark Moment. Still, he dodged from behind the desk to run over and shake my hand.

See you in a few months for the CAT scan!
