chemo tutorial (via Zoom) with a Nurse Practitioner yesterday
Excellent. "Knowledge is power." Knowing what to expect eased a lot of my anxiety.
Separate Zoom call with an oncology nutritional expert coming.
Also excellent. Chemo can be...challenging...even when it is going well. Learning how best to keep up her strength, what pitfalls to avoid, what positive and negative signs to watch for, those are all good things.
Jacqueline's regular doctor...said she would be the point person for clearing out obstacles and barriers and nudging anybody else that needs a nudge.
It is good to have someone else on the team who has committed to being ready to take decisive actions. Hold her to it.
But you know all that, already.
NGL, I'm kinda fascinated by the zoom tutorials and all that. Y'all enjoy the day and treatment~ma starting tomorrow!
Tino does so much, how does he find the time? Dude should chill.
Sophia, honestly, I don't think you watching the clock for seconds is an improvement. But whatever works for you!
Hec, I hope things run smoother from here on.
I just got back from a very intense therapy session and I’m not sure what to even do with myself.

I always try some mindless TV (where "mindless" = sitcom or an episode or 3 of something I've seen before, so my brain doesn't have to work too hard on anything new). A nap is always good, too.
I’m also getting a migraine. So I think nap is winning.
SJ, been there.(No reflections on how I turned out, no need to get that sad so early.)
Karl, is life whaling on you again?! I may need to have a Word with someone...could cash in some magical-cripple points...I don't travel enough to make them worthwhile.(If you need some direct action, I know some guys. Sadly, just people that love a good picket, not, like, Paulie Walnuts, which is too bad, because Paulie could get you an apology, too. He's...persuasive that way.
Here's hoping that this next podiatrist has some real info for Mom; the last guy was no help at all. (well, maybe the boot is, but they kind of just stuffed it on and didn't tell her a damn thing) Even if that weren't true, there are times when telling someone else's story, I struggle with how much to share, but that one was easy; there wasn't anything.
I feel fortunate to have escaped migraines so far, but I always did have my thorniest therapy "insights" right near the end, the better to make sure I'd come home just a mess.
Off to the dispensary. It's an Expotition!
My migraine is a bit better. My in-laws will be showing up soon with ltc. So, I guess I should get out of bed and try to be social or something.
