[Blogging break while we go up to UCSF for physical rehab and chemotherapy]

UCSF day

Blogging is a bit sparse today: been up to UCSF for physical rehab. I’m exhausted…

Cushing’s Syndrome

So, we’ve had a cold for a couple of days, and have used the opportunity of being more or less flat on our back to do a little health research (love that WiFi). The pictures above show the evolution of my mug over the past 18 months or so, during 12 of which I’ve […]

Home

We’re back from Mexico - where we had a really great time. Naturally, I picked this week to have a bout with anemia, which was kind of ideal, in a way. I didn’t feel like doing much, so laying by the pool was actually a pretty good deal. Linda had planned to leave […]

Time flies

At church this morning, many parishioners and their children took the opportunity to make Advent wreaths during a very nice brunch organized by Trinity’s foodies. As I looked on, it gave me pause to consider how fast time has flown this past year.
The most precise prognosis I’ve received (from UCSF physicians) gives me a 50% […]

The gimp squad’s big day in SF

Heidi sessions usually leave me fairly exhausted: by the time I got home, the combination of workout and chemo […]

Bushed

No reference to a certain Republican, not much loved hereabouts. I navigated up to UCSF on public transport, underwent chemo infusion, came home, arranged for a new furnace (ours has broken again), hauled out 6 bins of recycling (and brought ‘em back in) did the mail, worked through a long to-do list, cooked dinner and […]

What a day….

Started with a hard ‘Heidi’ workout, followed by a scramble to be at UCSF Radiology Imaging Center for a 9:00 AM MRI, followed by a MRI review (the news continues to be good on the tumor and Avastin seems to be the reason) with my neuro-oncology team.
Then lunch with Kelly, Karen and Jim, our cousins […]

Busy week…

So we’re off to UCSF this morning, for rehab workouts, then back up again tomorrow for MRIs and a consult with the neuro-oncological team. There’s a dentist appt. in the middle of that somewhere, plus the usual Get Things Done stuff. Linda’s off to NYC, and there’s a couple of last touches we need on […]
