I Promised I Would Elaborate...

I didn't anticipate that it would take over two weeks, but here goes.

On the day of my two year "cancer anniversary" I planned to meet my good friend Joan, who works in management at the hospital at which I was diagnosed, at the hospital to go and eat. This wasn't subconscious, but it wasn't exactly well thought-through either. I think I wanted to test how immune I would be to the surroundings.

I didn't know exactly where Joan worked in the hospital, but since she works in oncology, I went to the oncology floor, where I spoke to my original oncologist and even asked in the infusion suite if they knew where my friend was. I finally found her office - on the cancer inpatient floor.

Well, I didn't collapse from an anxiety attack or anything dramatic, but going to the hospital and seeing all that stuff was not pleasant. I'm not immune to it yet. I guess I proved that to myself.

But Joan and I managed to have a great time once out of the hospital.

And on a really exciting note, my non-profit, the LifeLab, was officially granted 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status by the IRS. The application was approved in only two weeks. I understand that to be some kind of record.

Wow, whoever drafted that application must be some kind of genius. :)
