Glad all’s well, jessamyn. Those days waiting for test results are certainly sobering, even when the news ends up OK.

Mazeltov on the news.

You are a bit young for this, but I find that sort of health-anxiety to be a part of the start of middle age.

When I threw a blood clot a few years ago, my (absurdly young) doctor told me that from now on I’d probably notice every twinge and ache much sooner. And thanks to her prophesy, my imaginary self has died from almost every obscure disease possible.

I’m like a patient on “House,” only without the actual eventual illness.

Glad to hear you’re fine. I think I’m getting a lot more experience with the news not being so good—my best friend from college got some very bad news and decided to blog about it (a first for her) as therapy and an attempt to help others:

…and then another friend here in Atlanta is going in to have a (fortunately benign) cyst removed today.

More and more,(as I get older) this is the cast of news I hear from friends.

I'm glad to hear you are well.

That is a very serious picture of you on the fancy people list. I much prefer your IM icon :)

I was just missing you this morning, and being able to call on you for spontaneous fun.

Jessamyn, glad to hear all is well. I am the world’s worst hypocondriac - eyes a bit sore? Its hayfever. Pins and needles - am I having a heart attack? Get back to that swimming, eat well and chill!

I’m glad to hear that everything is OK. I did notice your “radio silence,” but I figured that was somewhat intentional and didn’t want to bug you. I’ve had a bit of that going on myself, lately.
I hope we can chat soon.

So glad to hear this news.
