with kaiser i can look at all of my test results online.
all of my blood work from the day before chemo - white blood cells, red blood cells, calcium, everything - is absolutely normal. even for a normal person! turns out my body does know how to heal itself.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

You're smart both outside AND inside...good work on the normal stuff. Although I've always thought you were pretty extraordinary...moreso now.
Love,
