Friday, January 10, 2020, 3:00 p.m. I was ready today to see Francis for Pain Physical Therapy. I didn’t even feel guilty that Linda had to drive me, especially since she had yesterday to recover from Wednesday, and because she found her new tube of eye gel on the “running board” of the van on…

Golden Gate Smiles, Winter 2020
Monday, January 6, 2020, 11:30 a.m. I have been stressing out about this dental appointment for weeks! But the holidays are past and I have no more excuses for not getting these fillings done. So I set the alarm for this morning and did exactly as planned before leaving. I signed in when I got…

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.

Friday, November 22, 2019, 3:00 p.m. I was so depressed last week that I actually considered, for a fleeting moment, canceling my appointment with Francis, my Pain Physical Therapist. I was also, in that moment, considering canceling my appointment with Lisa Galan, my therapist. In my Facebook private pain/depression group, I wrote the following: “Does…
