Mine, too. (In a different way.) But sometimes I wish special education hadn't taught us to think of getting a break as a disabled person the way abled people think about head lice.

The surgery was more extensive than I had expected. I thought they were just going to go around the perimeter of the original excision, which had started at about the size of a 50 cent piece, and healed to a nickel.

But they did a big old six inch diamond incision around the whole area and stitched it up and I'm going to have a gnarly dueling scar.

And they've postponed the first infusion by a week, which is just fine by me. I'm canceling our flights and stay and will re-book.

I'm very weary.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Scars are cool, though. So much cooler than skin cancer.

My goodness that is a day. I hope you can both get some restful collapsing accomplished during the delay.

Good morning, Buffistae. Waken from your slumbers and greet the grey day. Or maybe you've got blue skies.

My shoulder is tight almost as if somebody had sewn it back together.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Weird.

Lots of medical stuff going on with Buffistas. Thinking healy thoughts to you all.

My dad had knee replacement surgery yesterday and is doing well. He might go home today. He had the other knee replaced over a decade ago so it’s nice to see progression of techniques and aftercare. My mom has a red rashy looking spot on her chest that turns out to be a reaction to her breast cancer infusion treatment and not skin cancer, so that is a yay. She also has mushy growth under the skin in the back of her neck. Biopsy shows that to be a benign fatty tumor that they will schedule for removal after dad recovers from his surgery.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Healing~ma all around

Starting off the work day with an avoidable crisis has put me in a terrible mood. At least it is a WFH day and I have no meetings scheduled so I can seethe in privacy

Work is grinding me down. Nothing seems to go right, they want a lot more than I feel capable of giving, and I really am having a hard time motivating. I keep thinking I should apply for new jobs but then I expect those wouldn’t be that different. where are my lotto winnings?
