Yesterday was a wonderful day. Great weather to be in New York. Christina, her parents and I went to see the off-Broadway play Beast. I had planned this a little while ago not knowing whether I would be well enough to go but luckily I was. Unlike the last time I took Metro North on my way to Sloan-Kettering, I was feeling strong. Of course, we went to Turks and Frogs first for a great meal. We took advantage of their greatly expanded cold appetizer menu. Everything put in front of us was delicious. Then we took a walk up Canal street and bought a few trinkets while bullying ourselves through the crowds. We reached the New York Theatre Workshop after walking a little uptown for what was to be the last show of Beast’s run. My thinking was they may do something special for the last show or, if anything, they would at least be as seasoned as they ever would be. Well, time for bed now. Chemo session number two is tomorrow. Wish me luck.
Back to NYC for the Day
Sloan-Kettering Concurs with Treatment Plan
What a day! It was interesting being at Sloan-Kettering. Their lobby is set up like an Asian meditation space complete with waterfall, flat metal cut-out sculpture on the wall, and boxed lattice walls. But all the while Who Wants to be a Millionaire with Meredith Vieira cascaded out of on indentation in the wall with substantially less calm than the waterfall. Damn, I knew we were still in America! But what really struck me was that everyone there who was a patient had cancer, just like me. more…
Big trip to NYC
My grandest adventure yet since my surgery will be my trip to NYC tomorrow. Not that I’ve decided to just take off and do some sightseeing, no, this trip is to yet another doctor. Sloan-Kettering is my destination but since we are all (Christina, Barbara, and I) making the long journey down, no sense squandering our good fortunes and ignoring what New York has to offer. more…
