Plotting the growth

Afficianados of my websites of yore, may have wondered who long it would take me to graphically represent the problem.

I have been plotting it for some time, but have only just got round to posting it.

The graph shows the measured length and width of the lump. The first two measurements are by the GP and the consultant, the rest are by Lan. Lan doesn't believe in spurious accuracy, so she has measured roundly to the centimetre. I think that's why the lump appears to shring sometimes. However, the lump does sometimes feel larger and more intrusive (it looks like a shelf trying to grow from my hip).

The X-axis starts on the day when I found the lump (it didn't hurt at first, until I had poked it a few times to work out how big it was) and ends on the day I should be having surgery to remove it, 7 November.

I am annoyed, I learnt on Saturday, they have booked me into NHS not private, because they are not sure if Mr Murphy does private work. I wish they had told me four or five weeks ago when there were delays waitin for Mr Murphy. I would have perceviered with finding a different BUPA surgeon if I had known.

So I have told them to try and get Mr Murphy's permission to go private. I won't get treated any sooner, but I have been paying in the insurance for some years now. I want the luxury of a room to myself and other comforts.
