Mrs. Random has been making granola lately. I think yesterday was her third batch this year. I love it! And it gives us another breakfast option. Options are good because they allow easy avoidance of ruts. I mean, some ruts can be fine, but it’s hard to be random without the possibility of variety!
Today we go in for her pre-Keytruda blood draw and a consultation with the oncologist’s assistant, prior to tomorrow’s infusion. Yes, “chemo” is finished, but this is an “immunotherapy” drug. I mean, since it goes into her port and the infusion happens in the chemo room, it still feels like a chemo visit. But I don’t believe there are any significant side effects, which is great.
We’re still waiting for a call from the surgery scheduler for Mrs. R’s mastectomy. Last word (over a week ago) was that they were waiting to get a pre-authorization from the insurance company. Because insurance companies (and their AI algorithm robots) rule the world, of course. (Grrrr.)
How are you doing? Remember to breathe! And remember that what is inside you and beside you right now is far more real than The Spectacle out there. Thank you for reading.
We used to make our own granola at Campbell Club when I lived there in 1976-77. We also made our own yogurt and grew our own sprouts. About 30 of us in the house. We put a new roof on the place, too. Years later went back for a visit and was saddened and dismayed at the state of the place. Really abused and uncared for.
ReplyDeleteThe golden age of Eugene co-ops! There were still dozens when I got here in 1981, but by the end of the '80s I doubt if more than a handful were left.
DeleteHoping insurance AI pulls its head out soon ❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteWe had a little scare about the Keytruda this morning—insurance still hadn't approved the infusions for this round! But we got a call in the late afternoon with good news, finally approved, and she can get the first infusion tomorrow. Fingers crossed for surgery approval soon!
