It is reassuring that the local oncologist is proceeding with an abundance of caution. Beats hell out of the don't give a crap doctors.
Yay for closed window! It is good that you were able to spend as much time with her as you did last night.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

[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.

We were very relieved when Big Name Clinic oncologist said, "Oh, Local Doc is one of my students, he can handle this." Local Doc is probably going "I can't screw this up and look bad to my mentor!" I'm all for that. Like when surgeons say, "I'm a little beat after the last nine hours of multiple surgeries, do you mind if I take a nap before yours?" We're all "No, please, doc, be well-rested and fresh before you take a knife to my flesh."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Connie, I'm glad they're taking good care of your DH, and I hope that he reacts well to this next round.
Whew, glad that one is behind you, sj. The medical folks need to have their heads filled with all that info, not you. I hope they were able to give you reassurance.
Unfortunately, we need to know quite a bit ourselves. It's lots of drugs and shots that need to be taken on different schedules, including one shot where two vials of powder need to be mixed with a vial of saline.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
all our trucks got back safely and we all went home before noon. I guess I am supposed to be working from home, but instead I went to Target and bought groceries and got meds. I did slide up and into a curb, but did not see any damage to my car. An hour until I can get mac.

I am baking a cauliflower, and sitting here under down, wearing fleece tights under sweatpants, and it has gotten up to 66 in here!

I dumped half my lunch on the floor. Graceful. Trying to clean up the mess has been interesting as I can't kneel. Or if I did, I wouldn't be able to get up.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ouch Suzi!
Much ~ma to Suzi, sj, Connie's DH, indeed anyone who needs it.

Has anyone seen my motivation? Everything seems like an onerous task today and getting work done is like swimming upstream through a vat of vaseline.

Compassionately intolerant
Jeebus, I am one hundred percent with ND right now.
I'm even allowing myself to get caught up in a, quite literally, 28 year old argument on Facebook in order to justify my massive case of 'dontwanna'.
How can I reset this day?!

Can't help, my motivation is entirely missing--I didn't even turn on my work computer until about 10:30AM, and all I've done is send about three emails. I think I'm going to take a nap soon. ...I may decide to call this a sick day. I didn't take one in the past two weeks when I actually WAS sick, so...
