My oncologist wanted to attribute my symptoms to the cancer
To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Glad you got a second opinion. Mucho lung-ma!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It's definitely a good thing that my plan for tomorrow already was that I'd stay at home and grade quizzes and get some prep done. The way my ankle's feeling, I don't think I'd be able to handle teaching tomorrow without my walker, and I don't feel like explaining the walker to people. (Though people have been relatively OK about my ankle brace -- one person who asked actual relevant questions, one person who asked annoying intrusive questions, and a couple people who've stared. Not too bad.) (I've already figured out completely stair-free routes to all my classes, just in case I need them. My usual routes have one or two steps, but I found ways around those. Though those ways often involve walking all the way around a building, because there are many buildings on campus that have internal stairs that make it impossible to enter on one side and get to a classroom on the other side without using stairs.)

Our wings are not tired.
I just sent a snippy e-mail to my oncologist.
Yeah. Hope the lungs are much happier soon.

Holy jesus, pneumonia? In someone with compromised immunity?
To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Not to indulge too many of my own issues, but oncologists seem to have horrible tunnel vision. Maybe they have to, it's got to be a grueling specialty, but it seems they're dealing with a checksheet of symptoms and reactions, not a person who may be feeling overwhelmed.
And that's enough of that for me for the moment. Get well soon, Ginger's lungs.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so glad you saw the PCP for a second opinion, Ginger. This means oncologist backs off and lets you recover, yes?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Damn, Ginger. That's some bullshit.
I am dealing with Well Meaning White Folks on fb who preach that we are all the same and can we just stop talking about race, please. ISTFG.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
All Microbes Matter.
Not sure if my satire is more diected at Ginger's oncologist or the white people smonster is dealing with.
