FINISHED CHEMO!!!

Helped answer some of the miscellaneous questions from a trainee nurse who was helping my nurse out. Showed off my chemo safety necklace. (Biohazard symbol, and an attached tag with a medical alert and chemotherapy on the one side, and a potential bad interaction between chemo side effects and another chronic condition on the other side. tl;dr if not wanting to eat/etc from chemo tanks my blood sugar, it's a medical emergency and I'm not actually drunk in public, call the paramedics and offer me sugar.)

It's a great achievement!

I haven't heard of chemo safety necklaces before, but they sound very useful and practical.

[azurelunatic]

I kind of created it! They let you know that in the first week or so after your chemo, most bodily fluids spills are a chemo biohazard in addition to a regular biohazard. Thus the biohazard necklace. And I had an experience that scared me in retrospect (made some bad food choices, ate very sparingly for a while due to symptoms, aggravated another medical condition) and then realized that if I hadn't been around people who were taking the right kind of care of me, I could have put myself in the hospital or worse. So I custom ordered an engraved dog tag.

It sounded scary! It's great of you to find a way to protect yourself and others.

Yaaaaay finishing chemo! Congratulations.

[azurelunatic]

Thank you! I'm so glad to be done. And it even looks like I'm getting a little hair back!

I posted reviews about tabletop RPG I have played.

[nanila]

Oh, nice! That's generous of you, reviews are always really useful to others.

[snowynight]

Thank you!

I had an excellent writing session, getting completely caught up on outstanding material that was coming due.

Also, support person for someone else as they went through a physically demanding day.

[nanila]

Well done. 👏🏽

[snowynight]

Congrats to a great writing session!. Support people are awesome.

Hung out again with neighbors and personal assistant. He and I went to the grocery store again for ingredients to make brookies for a little get-together that a sister of mine and her roommate are having tomorrow.





Another exercise session which went great. The trainers who were in the studio this morning said I'm doing great. This included the head of said studio who founded it. A few weeks ago she enrolled me in another of their classes. Ironically enough my landlord is in that class, but he and his wife are currently out of town again so they've been on Zoom. But he's a great landlord, so I don't mind at all being in class with him.

A great day! May I ask what brookies are? They sound like a cross between brownies and cookies, but I've never heard the term before.

[azurelunatic]

I think they're both, layered.

[snowynight]

What a great day!

My mini cotton candy machine arrived! I made some flavored sugars to test it out. We will probably get commercial flavored sugars but it was great having a proof-of-concept!!!

[nanila]

Oh yum.

Travelled to London for a meeting the next day.

Done!
