On June 14, 2013 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It had not gone to other places in my body, and now I have completed chemo and mastectomy (followed by mastectomy on normal side). I have been able to work continuously, with the enormous and unending support of my patients, my staff and my coworkers. I continue to be humbled by the constant kindness provided to me by those I am supposed to be careing for, and by the many who have walked this path before me.

Sitting in my Hello Kitty pajamas
I am doing great, just like the last surgery. Maybe because the block is still working. And the best news is that my 13 year old is sick with a fever. So we can just lounge all day in our sick bed, together.
I plan to accomplish a few things today: swim the guinea pig (helps his feet which get dirty and rashy). Order new computer parts for the office. Do my overdue medical records. Write a book. Buy bat mitzvah presents for all our 13 yo friends. unpack my overnight bag for the hospital. Write a huge batch of long overdue thank yous (like my patient; I did a huge surgery on her foot 3 weeks ago, and somehow, she was able to knit me a prayer blanket before my surgery this week). So while I might look ambitious with my list, I always have a patient who reminds me how wimpy I am.
