On Saturday December 12th I took Meg to the Emergency Room. The rest you know. The ability of modern medicine to diagnose and treat such serious problems is matched only by the body's ability to recover from them.

This Saturday we walked from our house down to REI, where Meg bought the bicycle-themed "Buff" that she's wearing as a hat in this picture, taken during her "stealth" visit to the lab on Sunday. She went there to pick up a laptop and other stuff to allow her to do some work at home, and ran into a couple of lab members.

Saturday, after REI, we stopped at a nearby Indian restaurant, where we enjoyed the lunch buffet: I was hoping to load Meg up with the protein that she'll need to repair the damage done by the radiation and chemotherapy. From there we marched back up the hill, and spent the evening enjoying the adventures of another member of the Holmes family (Sherlock) via the magic Roku box. The episode featured "the woman".

In brief, a pleasantly dull weekend. We need to be off to bed early, because the logic of the pill and radiation schedules require Meg to have finished breakfast by 7:20 AM. so as to be ready for her 11:20 radiation session. The new schedule lets her have lunch at a decent hour, and gives her the afternoon free to entertain visitors, or to work on lab projects.
