2025 was a particularly rough year for me. I usually get my physicals on even-numbered days, but I paid for a comprehensive checkup out of pocket. They said my breasts needed a more thorough examination, so on December 30, 2025, I had a gynecological examination, and on January 16th, I decided to have the lump in my right breast removed. It was almost a surgical procedure, but since it was my first time going under the knife, I spent more than half the day worrying about the surgery, but it was over so quickly that my worries were all for naught. I hope 2026 brings only good things, and a healthy year.
