Another early Wednesday
The good thing about an every three month schedule for my forever is that q3mo is better than q2mo. OTOH, it means that I am up at O’dark-a-clock to to make the drive into SF. Obviously there are much worse … Continue reading

Across the Bridge
the pavement and the cars heading like lemmings toward the Bay Bridge. After a quick stop at Peet’s since I could hardly face the traffic for the second time this week without coffee, I slid my car into the stream … Continue reading

Coughing isn’t fun
No one needs to listen to me whine, which is all I have felt like. Also explains why I am not bothering to send out mass emails. It all started perhaps on Saturday night, but certainly by Sunday I wasn’t … Continue reading

Feeling Lousy
After running a fever for three days and coughing I figured that my choices were to go into the Oakland VA outpatient clinic today or run a risk of having to drive to SF tomorrow to the ER. Having worked … Continue reading

every three months
I think is what we agreed upon. My choices are relatively simple – hang out till the NHL comes back. No, I don’t think so. – go with an every two month schedule for the next two years and hopefully … Continue reading

Still Legal
As I was attempting to find a lost critical item this morning, I went ahead and grabbed a picture of this – Most years, I just renew my license when the window opens up 1 Sept. This year, since … Continue reading

Scanning
I decided a while back that I really didn’t want to know my life’s cumulative radiation exposure. I had yet another PET scan this morning. It made sense to do it – if all the increased activity that showed up … Continue reading

whining
I will admit it up front. I am feeling sorry for myself. I seriously dislike pain, discomfort and/or swelling. I equally do not enjoy swallowing handfuls of pills multiple times a day. As of Tuesday evening, when I took my … Continue reading

Falling behind
Well, I am back from an early run over the SFVA. The trip shouldn’t have needed to happen, but I am home and over it. Yesterday’s squishy lump is now hard and still tender. Go figure. I have dosed up … Continue reading

no fun being ill
I have had an upper respiratory infection for the last couple of day. George, I am sure, passed his cold to me. When he said “I really haven’t been anywhere” I just shook my head in amazement. I guess meeting … Continue reading
doing the math
Ok, it isn’t math, it is basic arithmetic. This morning I had 494 stitches left in the leaves. I have nine (9) double strands of floss left in this particular color. Getting 50 stitches out of a meter of floss … Continue reading

Went well
Apparently, he was the first patient on the schedule this morning and we were back home by close to 0900. I happily crawled back into my stitching area and George went to “watch” the European Championships from the comfort of … Continue reading

Cycle 5
Says it all. This is 5/6. I am back at the SFVA this morning. I had enough sense this time to get my port accessed and blood drawn prior to seeing my oncologist. So I was able to finish early … Continue reading

Obviously better today
Since I don’t think anything could have topped yesterday. Wait! Shouldn’t superstition then hit me with the one thing that could have been worse? I mean – there were no accidents, much less fatalities on the drive home. The motorcyclists … Continue reading

Longer than I planned.
Today is (was) Wednesday. I had an 0900 appointment at the SFVA. Since traffic going into San Francisco totally and completely sucks, I drive in early. You have already read my rant back a few months about the change in … Continue reading

Round 2
of six scheduled. I keep thinking – escape in August. Meanwhile, it is once to twice a month across the bay, the Bay Bridge, and SF traffic to spend most of the day literally hanging out in the Infusion Center. … Continue reading

Early morning
and apparently the metering lights now go on before 0600 on the Bay Bridge. Which means that the backup starts even earlier. At least I had my latte from Peet’s while crawling along with the traffic. Once I had cleared … Continue reading

Another trip
Into San Francisco early this morning. Making my usual stop at Peet’s just before they opened I still managed to get caught in the lane control lights at the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza. After that point, the traffic was reasonably … Continue reading
