The Foob Photo Shoot

⚡ Energy: Relieved but Still Frustrated

❤️‍🩹 Status: Medically Examined From Every Possible Angle

😒 Outlook: Waiting… Again

Finally.

My plastics appointment.

After an entire weekend of worrying and one extra day of waiting, it was finally time to go in and figure out what is going on with my “soft foob.”

At this point, walking into the exam room has become a pretty predictable routine.

I walk in.

They walk in.

And then I bare it all.

Which apparently is now standard operating procedure and no longer awkward.

(Yeah… right.)

Next comes the usual round of medical entertainment:

Poked.
Prodded.
Felt up.
Measured.

Then came the photos.

And when I say photos, I mean the full medical mugshot experience.

Turn to the left.
Turn to the right.
Face forward.

I even smiled for the front-facing shot even though my face wasn’t even in the picture.

All of the photos and measurements were immediately sent over to my radiation oncologist so the two departments can review everything together.

Then came the part I wasn’t expecting.

Radiation is now postponed until further notice.

Great.

We already had a plan.

We had already booked the 8:00 AM slot for 20 consecutive days of radiation treatments. The schedule was perfect. Casey could take me to treatment in the morning and still make it to work afterwards.

Everything was lined up like a perfectly orchestrated routine.

Now?

That plan is gone.

When radiation eventually starts again, we will be at the mercy of whatever time slots are available, and hopefully Casey’s customers will be flexible and understanding while we juggle appointments.

The plastics and radiation departments are now working together to figure out the next step in the plan.

In the meantime, I have another plastics appointment scheduled the day after we return from our birthday vacation so they can remeasure everything and take a new round of photos to compare with today’s data.

After that, my radiation oncologist will decide how we move forward.

The plan — once they figure it out — will be sent to me by email, text message, and voicemail.

At least one of those should reach me while we’re out of the country on vacation.

So for now, the only thing I know for sure is this:

I will not be starting radiation the day after we get home.

Instead, I will be heading back to plastics for more measurements, more pictures, and hopefully some answers.

And until then…

I wait.

Again.
