Is anyone planning on watching SMG’s new show tonight?

Probably not until this weekend.

Is it really expired? You can check online, in some cases they have extended the expiration date that’s on the box

In general, I've been told home tests don't give false positives.

Is anyone planning on watching SMG’s new show tonight?

It's one of the new shows I want to check out. Seems like everything starts today

Dammit. My PCP is leaving the practice in two weeks and my current practice doesn’t have any availability. I liked having a doctor right in town and don’t want to have to go into the city for all my appointments.

I’ve been sick as a dog all week but it’s finally passing today. Two negatives and my sister, who i definitely got it from, also multiple negatives. So. Bad cold I think. I canceled a planned office day and I don’t really have anywhere else I needed to go.

That sucks, sj. Are they not bringing someone new on?

In bigger and suckier news, my manager’s position was just eliminated. We’re told no other changes but the three teams that rolled up under him, mine being one of them, will all be reporting into different areas so it’s hard to anticipate how well that will all work.

But mostly he’s a really good guy and this fucking sucks.

Brenda, that does suck. Good luck with the transition.

They said they’re going to be hiring someone “eventually” and that I can check back as often as I want for doctors with availability. I can’t even describe how little energy and motivation I have to check back regularly.

Ugh, Brenda, sorry. And sj, and suela! Too much stress!

I just finished with my second opinion appointment--reassuring; the doctor said the course I'm on looks like the right one; this is an effective chemo agent, and by the time it stops being effective (which will be quite some time away) there are at least three other treatments currently in clinical trial that will likely be in general release--he said he'd offer to enroll me in one of those trials, but the agent I'm on will probably be effective enough that I won't even qualify for the trials until after they're complete. Also, my specific cancer is one that's generated a lot of research interest so there are a lot of people wrestling with the genetics of it right now and he thinks it's likely that more answers will be coming soon.

He also praised my oncologist and said, "She's excellent. I've read some of her papers!"

Oh no, sj! How aggravating. Grr.

Ugh, brenda, I'm sorry about yoru manager. That doesn't sound great for the rest of you, either.
