another mandala

I took the dragonfly theme I explored in the previous mandala and used it as the base image for this one. Again some watercolor, Micron pen and Sargent liquid metals pens.

After the rain stopped yesterday I took a walk and found a few little fellas growing out there.
Nice fall colors.

I made several calls last week to try and move my biopsy appointment up and failed. I tried again yesterday and can maybe have one on Friday with a different doctor as long as he doesnt have to leave to deliver a baby. I will call again today to see if "my" doctor has any cancellations today that I can squeeze in to. I feel like I just want to get a hysterectomy and be done with it. But I don't think they'd do it on my word alone. Need the tests first.

I admit I have been very lucky health-wise through the years. I was in the hospital overnight for a tonsillectomy when I was quite young and then later, to give birth. I almost died several days after the tonsillectomy from a hemorrhage, but as you can see, I didnt.

Otherwise, just the usual small things. In the past 20 years, I have rarely gone to a doctor , but have kept up my health checkups with my homeopathist/nurse practitioner. So that's all the news that isn't from New Hampshire.

Your dragonflies are wonderful, Suki! Also enjoyed seeing those little fellas peeping out from the leaves. Hope it works out to move your appointment up. Waiting in limbo is no fun.

Another lovely mandala. Hope you get that earlier appointment. I know about waiting. It's not easy. You want to get on with healing and life. I hope things work out for the good.

i had a hysterectomy 5 years ago - best thing I did! once I was over healing - it's been great. Had it due to huge fibroids - plus my mom had ovarian cancer so I didn't want to take a chance...

good luck suki - will be thinking of you
