Graduation

Fastest appointment ever.  The Dutchman was all business, today.  A quick feel, no chit chat, good MRI results, and that's it.

I did feel a little like I'd been sent to the principal's office.  It seems no one scheduled my mammogram, when the MRI appointment was made, so the results he was expecting from that test weren't in my file.  I'll get a remedial appointment for this month, but it didn't prevent the irrational feeling that I'd failed him.  My perfect patient status besmirched.

He saved the best news for last.  My next tests and appointment with The Dutchman will be twelve months from now.  No more six monthly visits;  I'm in the one year club.  Kinda like finally getting to high school.  Marie and Oscar's little girl is growing up.
