I went to see my dr. on Tuesday for biopsy results. The gist of it is, because of the large cyst, they were unable to get enough follicular cells from the nodes to determine cancer one way or the other, but the general consesnsus is that it's benign. Whoo hoo. I think. Now let's just see how long it takes to get me in to an endocrinologist. Mind you, I'm glad it's not cancer, but there's SOMETHING globally amiss, and I don't like not knowing what it is. It's kinda ticking me off, even though there's noONE or no THING to be pissed off AT. Meh.

Peter's last court appearance was today. After five court appearances averaging three hours apiece, seven hours today and much general to-do, all charges were withdrawn, and his record, fingerprints, etc. will be expunged. WHOO HOO!  Fucking A, your honor. Fuck you, CA. I should be on cloud nine, but I've spent so much time keyed up in the past week, it's going to take a couple of days. Right now, I just really REALLY want a beer or ten. Maybe tomorrow I'll reward myself--it's been a couple of weeks.

I am a little proud of myself and a LOT proud of Peter...he's conducted himself admirably. I'm a little sorry I didn't take Eric along to these court sessions, it might have been a unique learning experience for him. But, he absolutely HATES to be absent from school. He can be a bit of a perfectionist.

Yeah, I think I'm due some beer. 

Apparently, two of Peter's charges are being completely dropped, in short because he had permission for pretty much everything he did, and no proof of wrongdoing at all. The last, the trespassing charge, is being pursued by the crown at this point, despite the fact that it is invalid--he was on a city right-of-way. Judicial pretrial is April 20th. I am no longer worried in the slightest about his future job or border-crossing implications. They had, and continue to have, NOTHING. For a fuckwit I make a pretty good goddamned lawyer. The Crown Attorneys were just expecting us to roll over. The police officer is going to have some 'splainin' to do.

At some point I should probably document the whole thing from start to finish, but until the actual FINISH, that may not be the most prudent thing to do.
