Health update

Five weeks down, one to go. I'm almost done with my radiation treatment.

I'm pleased to report that the "super sunburn" pain I was warned about hasn't materialized. So far I've gotten a very minor bit of soreness in one or two places, and that's it. With only four treatments left it looks like I dodged this particular bullet.

Also, you may recall that the CAR-T treatment wiped out my immune system and killed off all my existing vaccinations. I've spent the past year being re-vaccinated for everything and today was the last one—assuming, of course, that whatever experimental treatment I get next doesn't kill off my immunities all over again. We'll see.

    and maybe this will brighten your day:

    Simone Biles, who catapulted herself to a sixth gold medal and ninth overall medal in her storied Olympic career with a victory in the women’s all-around gymnastics competition Thursday, seemed to take a not-so-subtle dig at Donald J. Trump on social media.

    “I love my black job,” Ms. Biles posted on X on Friday with a heart emoji, an apparent reference to the former president’s recent remarks that “Black jobs” were being taken by undocumented immigrants.

    If anything does come up, one THC gummy worked great, where acetaminophen would not, to kill the pain in a massive scrape I had on my arm due to a pratfall on the sidewalk, and the pain did not return thereafter. Might help with inner sunburn as well.
