It’s Tuesday, 26 days since The News. The people at PAMF have apparently realized that calling me at 7:30 in the morning is causing significant harm. They have instead switched to calling me while I’m taking a shower. Exactly how they know when I’m taking a shower I’m not entirely sure…but maybe there was a… Continue reading Back to School – Infusion teaching Session

Sharing Information with Office 365; You’re Spam!
It’s Saturday, 23 days after The News. It’s another lazy Saturday.

The Radiation Oncologist
It’s Thursday, three weeks since The News. For once today’s appointment was in the afternoon and there were no sunrise calls or messages. Maybe someone at PAMF finally updated my chart.

Anti-cancer foods; Mike’s “healthy” mac & cheese
It’s Sunday, 17 days after The News. It’s been nice to have a relaxing weekend.

The Medical Oncologist
It’s Thursday, 14 days after The News. I woke up at 7:15 this morning. For no good reason. I wonder where the closest Urgent Care Facility For Nocturnal Beings is. I’ll need to pay a visit soon.
