Another photo sharing site.  The more free backups of my photo library out there, the better I always say.

xymon at seehere.com.

UPDATE:  After uploading the pics, going thru all the options for sharing settings, I hit the save button, and it deleted all the photos.  I would NOT trust installing their software or active-X control on a machine with access to important data.  Be WARY.

UW Clinic Doesn’t Make Life Easy

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

So, I’ve got a lump in one of my breasts.  I’ve been to the doctor before, and they’ve squeezed it and given me the brush off before, but recently it started getting larger, and painful, so I went back to my primary care physician.  They decide that maybe since it is growing, they should take a better look, and refer me to the breast cancer group for further study and hopefully treatment.  That’s when the fun began.  Seems of the 5 numbers on the referral sheet they gave me, none of them are correct.  When I finally DO get thru to one of the clinics, I get transferred around until they hang up on me altogether.  It only took an hour on the phone to get yet another pointless appointment with a not-really-a-doctor who’ll just do the exact same thing they did at my PCP’s, who will THEN hopefully send me to someone who can actually do something.

Very frustrating experience so far, and I don’t even think I’m sick.  I can’t imagine how pissed I’d be if I felt in anyways certain that my lump might be cancerous.
