I went to the doctor yesterday for my physical. The doctor ordered blood work, ECG, chest x-ray, abdominal ultrasound, and a colonoscopy. I called the doctor's office today and I got back the results of the blood tests and all the results were normal. I am still waiting to hear from the doctor when I will have to go to the hospital for the colonoscopy. I was told it could take 3 weeks before I get an appointment. The requisition has been faxed over to the hospital so now I just have to be patient. I am not looking forward to the test at all but something I need to do because of my age and history. I go back to the doctor on Monday to get the results of the rest of the tests I've completed so far.

On the fibre front, I managed to get some spinning done. I started spinning some fibre I got from Matahari Spinnery a while ago. I've already spun some of this up but I wanted to try and do more and compare it to what I did when I first got the wheel. Then I received my order from Copper Moose yesterday. I had ordered the confetti and purple twist. I couldn't wait to try the confetti so I stopped what I was doing and pulled out another bobbin and did this last night. I am going to try and fill this bobbin and then finish the Matahari fibre. I only have 4 bobbins for the woolee winder so I will have to clear those before I can finish spinning and ply the confetti.

Not much knitting going on the last few days. I have 2 more rectangles to go to finish the 4th tier on the Forest Path stole and I haven't touched the blanket since the weekend so there hasn't been any progress on that either. I think I needed a break and something that would engross me so much I would forget about my back and the tests etc.
