I haven't been called in many years. When I moved from Palm Beach County to Broward I thought it might kick in again, but nope.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm ambivalent about having to take a health exemption, but I just can't imagine me and an attendant getting sequestered or whatever.(NO prosecutor would pick me ever, either, though.) Starting a new writer's group tonight.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Radiation Day 1 was very anticlimactic. The whole radiation process apparently takes less than 10 minutes, and obviously Tim won't feel any effects (good or bad) on day 1, so it was basically (1) show up, (2) get zapped, (3) go to work. I only wish the entire 7 weeks would be this uneventful.
Day 1 down, 34 days to go (not counting weekends; the last day of treatment is October 24).
Wednesday is chemo infusion #1. The day is going to go like this — 10:30 am, radiation; 10:45 am, appointment with radiation oncologist; 11 am, chemo infusion starts; 11:15 am, appointment with chemo oncologist; 11:30 am, appointment with nutritionist; 12 noon, Steph leaves the hospital to grab lunch and get to therapy; 1 pm, Steph has therapy; 2 pm, Steph goes back to the hospital, stopping at CVS on the way; 3 pm, chemo infusion is over and we go home.
I am exceedingly happy that the hospital is literally 3 miles from our house. Driving back and forth will get old, but at least it won't be a long drive.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
First chemo might be slower. I expect they'll be watching him very carefully for any signs of an allergic reaction.
