I got in to see Dr. Twatbeams yesterday, got a brief pelvic exam, and got my planning CT and the leg immobilizer cradle. If you've seen racks of blue fabric covered rectangular molds in a treatment room of some sort, molds with flat bottoms and contoured tops with places where specific people's specific body parts would fit, you've seen 'em. I suppose there are other colors of fabric possible, but these were various blue.

The mold was warm like a nice swimming pool when they formed it; it won't be warm when I go back. But they'll have warmed blankets.

Upon hearing about the commute and the sleep disorder, the two proposed AM treatment times got shoved to late afternoon. It's every schoolday starting the 31st going through the 21st.

Guide Dog Aunt is managing Woodworking Uncle's current medical situation (surgery on the 31st), and Aunt F has specific California obligations. So we're working out our transportation options. And we've got options! They all seem within budget.

1. I drive myself.
2. Car, bus, and taxi, with a rolly boi of some description. (Drive to park and ride, take a bus as far as it goes, get a taxi mainly for the hill.)
3. Power chair (once re-batteried) and bus.
4. Scrounge around to arrange rides for the later weeks, after I am le tired.
5. Hotel on the clinic shuttle route for the weekdays.
6. Belovedest burns some combination of time off (several options available).
7. See if the clinic has a better connecting shuttle.
[Edit:] 8. Steph takes some ride shifts!

Someone was talking about eating, and actions vs. inactions in the paradigm of DBT, and disability, and the labor of meal preparation. (Feel free to raise a hand in the comments if you'd like.)

And that got me thinking about some of my late mornings.
Note that this poem is about both preparing food, and about not eating. This is a working draft, and I might whack it around some more, but the words starting tugging on me while I was heading across the room to do something else.
