This Little (Strobe) Light of Mine
In a valiant attempt to get my doctor’s visits on a regular follow up sort of schedule that’s staggered, so that I don’t have eight months of hanging and everything crammed into three weeks, we made a bunch of follow … Continue reading
You Dropped the “L”
Finally had that wild ENT appointment today… Sure, maybe the place was calm while I was there, but obviously there had been some heavy partying going on. The lovely silvery lettering over the check in desk read “Department of Otolaryngo … Continue reading
2010 Called
For the record, I am composing this sucker on my phone. So if you see silly typos, it has a lot to do with my needing to trim my thumbnails. This time (or thereabouts) last year I was walking into … Continue reading
I Stand By My Previous Statement…

All Right, Let’s Give This an Updating Sort of Go
I still don’t trust my browser. But I trust it more now. Cough. Okay, because I know I left everyone out of the loop, really, and because I know that sometimes it’s better if I say it and then it’s … Continue reading
A Brief Note to the People at Dana Farber
For a couple reasons (mostly technical) I am keeping this short, but I want to say I will be eternally grateful for the peeps I’ve encountered at DFCI this past year. Doctors hear hoofbeats, it is said, and are told … Continue reading
Oh FFS.
In the off chance you don’t know, the middle F in the title there is that particular f word. I might use those today, in print, here. I thought I’d forewarn if you’re the type who that bothers. If you … Continue reading
