Bought parking at BART so my parents won't need to ferry me back and forth, checked in for my first flight (still feels weird to do that the day before) and gave Budget my DL and so forth info. Ready to go and still expected to work the rest of the day for some reason. Oh, wait, still have to pick up my dress from the cleaners. And pack. But basically ready.

I am being discharged today as I have recovered well from the surgery. We won't know true next steps until November 3, but for right now, I feel great. It is most likely immunotherapy, chemo, or additional surgery depending on what the doctor thinks- and she is out of office for a week!

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
I feel great.
Glad to hear it, Sophia. Is your thrombosis better?

ION related to work fuckery: There's a mandatory team meeting at SEVEN FUCKING THIRTY tomorrow morning! Because that's the only time slot the VP of the pillar that owns us could be there. Our HR rep will also be there.
Our boss posted this in the team channel: "Please rest assured that this does not relate to any impact on your individual roles or status". Sure, all of us tech industry vets totally believe such statements. I sense a reorg in my future.

Glad you're feeling good Sophia, and good for getting out of the hospital. Be gentle with yourself as you heal from surgery.

Glad to hear it, Sophia. Is your thrombosis better?Much better, but not perfect. I am transitioning to oral bloodthinners, which they tried yesterday. The thrombosis was really caused by the mass impinging the veins and arteries, so removing that went a long way toward healing it.
I feel a little bit like I should just go back to work, but I am not going to. Hopefully I won't need more time later, but it is the end of the year so it will re-set.
