     I keep being surprised that the medical procedures don’t go smoothly. Why should they? I had this last chemo infusion amidst confusion between me and the clinic director.  There were serious questions about which protocol is the safest, the least painful and the most effective. I try to remember we are all doing our best and life is uncertain.  Now I have a couple of months off of no treatment to heal and get strong. In January we will work on a new plan.

     It is exhausting to negotiate with the medical establishment. It feels like a David and Goliath event. I know my body and they know the protocols and the medical language.  They work together as a team and I am standing alone. And sometimes I get stubborn and can’t hear what they are saying. I suspect they get stubborn and can’t hear me.

     The streets in my neighborhood are filled with fallen leaves from the wind and rain.

     I watch the last two episodes of LINCOLN LAWYER in the afternoon. Such a good show. Went to bed early and slept well.
