Done Since 2024-08-25

It's been a week. A busy week; perhaps not busy enough. Arguably, a productive week. Again, perhaps not productive enough. It also included several (mental and physical)health- related things -- the final results from my colonoscopy (2 benign polyps, so no need for more colonoscopies in the future), my last (unless I find myself back here next year) Medicare "annual wellness visit" with Dr. Chopra, and zoom visits with my spiritual care advisor (is pastor the right word? I don't think so) Elizabeth G, my integrative medicine person (no idea what her official position is) Susanna M, and my oncology social worker Jonathan C. I have one more visit scheduled later this month with Elizabeth, and with my medical oncologist Dr. Sunkara.

I'm going to miss all those people. Some have asked me to keep in touch, which is nice. There will be lots of blog posts in my future, and thoughts about leave-taking rituals and self-care.

The whole idea of moving still terrifies and saddens me, but I've noticed that when I'm talking about it with someone else (see above), I seem to exhibit something that at least resembles excitement. I'll take it.
