One thing, another, or both

Waking up at 5 this morning I thought of Roseanne Roseannadanna from the old Saturday Night Live shows. She would say, “If it ain't one thing, it's another.” Too true. Lately, seems like it's both things. Probably was both at some point for the comedienne, too, who died of ovarian cancer.

Did I mention that when I talked to Dr. Nelson she was emphatic about me picking up a prescription for steroids (dexamethazone) that day. She wanted me to become a professional baseball player! Wait. That wasn't it. It was something about brain mets being associated with swelling, and also that I'd need to be taking them 48 hrs before getting radiation. So I'm taking them, and I was kinda happy because they give you energy, but much of the time, you're still tired, just that relaxing isn't as relaxing. I will probably be getting more exercise though so that is good.

I've gotten several sweet emails I want to post sometime.

And I want to write about my last convo with the social worker, and related thoughts about what goes on when people tell me they want to help.

Remembered (but did not have documented because of losing calendar) that I am giving a talk at the GBF on Sunday! Which feels like kind of a big deal. I will come up with something!
