Tuesday, April 12, 2022 I don’t ordinarily schedule medical appointments on Tuesday because of that being grocery shopping. This appointment was originally scheduled for Monday but Francis emailed me and said he needed to reschedule.

Individual Therapy #5
Monday, December 9, 2019, 1:30 p.m. There’s a warm, familiar feel about entering the Kaiser building, coming in from the cold weather, walking down carpeted corridors, hearing the digitally-produced voices endlessly announcing numbers in the laboratory.
