Next appointment

I'm getting a trickle of test results plonking into MyChart, and while I'm no doctor, I think they're encouraging. (Which is, uh, relative. Specifically, relative to the news that the other tests have been conveying.) Though I probably would like to have a primary care, or someone less specialized than Dr. Skelebones but with an interest in arthritis, tell me where my skeleton's mild to moderately fucked based on that PET scan.

My next appointment is up in the city, Wednesday. We should be talking about the results and a treatment plan, and probably making appointments.


My tag for this sequence is "hip bone"; my tag for Medical Adventures With Radiation In, more generally, is "ash and dust"; "shards and shells" is the Pernese rider oath. (See also: https://azurelunatic.dreamwidth.org/7730334.html )

Clickably, that's https://azurelunatic.dreamwidth.org/tag/hip+bone for those playing along from offsite, and you can click any tag and see things from that tag (in my journal; we're not Tumblr though there is a Latest Things page) and if you do RSS the single-tag feed is https://azurelunatic.dreamwidth.org/data/rss?tag=hip+bone

I just realized...

I'm rolling with the assumption that a couple different kinds of appointments are in my future. The clinic is an allegedly scent-free zone (I suspect that if I go in there having used a scented shampoo or something I won't get kicked out, but I'm not about to test this bc that seems extremely rude to everyone) so I will be limited in my opportunities. But!

My skin eats certain kind of scents. Complex layered fragrance with exotic smells? Put it on my tits and it turns into something vanilla musk adjacent. Though it doesn't seem to do quite that with at least certain florals. It's not exactly a curse, because I do like that vanilla musk scent, but it's ... well, I really should start using the scent locket gear that I got.

ursulav is also part of the Class of '23 (a bit ahead of me, and it's the worst class to be in) mentioned her new superpower: mosquitoes no longer like her. One tasted her and flew off in disgust.

Then I saw a review roundup of some BPAL scents. And contemplated my (current) skin chemistry. And thought about it a little more.

OMG, what is this going to do to my skin chemistry. This is going to be fascinating, if I can stand any of the scents I have...
