Well, sometimes medical care is trumped by National Security.
"The plan unveiled by the Secret Service and area transportation officials closes all Virginia bridges across the Potomac and interstates 395 and 66 inside the Beltway to personal vehicles. Also closed to personal vehicles will be the Southeast-Southwest Freeway in the District and much of George Washington Memorial Parkway, which will be closed in both directions between the Beltway and the 14th Street bridge"
Long story short, this basically makes it impossible for me to get to the CCC in DC for the biopsy which had been scheduled for the 20th (I had wondered why that day was the only one wide open - they are thinking of canceling all the surgeries now as there are major issues on the staff getting in also with no exceptions made by the authorities). Now I have to wait until Jan 28th or 29th for the biopsy, then wait for pathology report on the lump.
Oh well, it will make for either an exuberant Valentine's Day or a bittersweet one - either way one to remember.
