Anyone who wants to see my graduation next week, Thursday, can watch the entire thing live! It's the whole college's graduation ceremony, not the School of Social Work's convocation. The fun starts 5pm HST - which would be 11pm for you East Coast US people.
I got approved to start a biologic that suppresses the part of my immune system that controls allergic reactions and this will hopefully stop my $&@#% hives.
According to my allergy specialist, this was the next step for me ages ago, but she hesitated because I was already on other immune suppression medication. My hives aren’t getting any better and my water issues are severely impacting my quality of life so my allergy and arthritis specialist (who prescribes the other immune suppression meds) got together and discussed it and decided to let me try it.
What a relief! It may not sound like much to you all, but I want to be able to take a shower without it being a multi hour event ending in up to an hour of misery at the end.

Two of my favorite things around here, @ThatNickGuy's smile and @figmentPez's "IT'S A KITTY!"
That is all. Enjoy the rest of your day.

I’m on a super long call with my new drug rep organizing getting me on the new drug ASAP.
Fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed.
And I start in a week and a half. I can never do the treatment solo. However, after the first several treatments providing I don’t have a wild reaction, I can just stop in and get injected and the clinic is around the corner from work!

You know, once in a while, it's nice to read a story like this that isn't a heavy, heaping load of negativity.

"You... you patented my blood?"
"Well, we patented the specific biochemical composition of your blood, to be precise. But basically, yes."
"Am I... am I still allowed to donate it?"
"We can work out a deal for that, don't worry."
"What sort of deal?"
"Basically you can continue donating the blood as long as you specify it's our blood before and after every donation, and that the donation legally comes from us."
"But it's my blood!"
"Not any more."
@Squidleybits gets in car after Pokemon go raid and asks "What are you writing? "
I say it's the material for the next D&D module.
She says "But it looks like you've written what 20 pages? In like 6 minutes? "
I says well yeah it's hard without a proper desk.

It was a magic park! Full of EX passes and writing inspiration evidently.
Cross-posting from the thread about my wife's battle with breast cancer...
First treatment series is DONE! We have finished 13 weeks of weekly chemo.
Next Tuesday we have a 7:30am appointment for a full breast exam (ultrasound, biopsy, and mammogram) then a later appointment for a follow-up with her breast surgeon. Wednesday is an afternoon appointment with her Oncologist, and hopefully the first of the final 4 chemo infusions, there will be a 3 week break between each treatment, and they will be on Wednesday instead of Thursday.

Thats so 2014.
You tell that to my friend's orthodontics clinic that was getting rid of their waiting room PS4s....which by the way is the most boojee thing ever. Oh, I have to wait 15 minutes for my tooth appointment, here's 6 PS4s to choose from.
Hoping for the best for your family!
