Tuesday, March 31: NE Philly 4 🎒 Skin cancer appt.

Good morning ladies and gents of the Internet land. I woke up at 7:30 AM so I can get the Mike’s by 8:30. I did this so I had time to do a little bit around the house with Mike and then go back to Northeast Philly and pick up my backpack. I thought about taking Uber straight up there then I figured I could just take the L up to the transportation center and then catch Uber then catch the Uber. Well when I got up there, I figured I’d try to see if I can catch the 14 bus. I got very fortunate that the 14 bus arrived a minute after I got to Frankfurt transportation center. I did a test to see how much LIFT would cost and that was $22. So basically taking the market Frankfurt line saved me about $15-$20. We’re taking this bus and save me a lot more than that. So that’s what I’m doing. It’s 9:46 AM right now. I still might have to take the Uber back to Frankford transportation center to get myself back in  Center City long enough, give myself time to see Dr so-and-so about my cancer that he removed from my head. Well, I took the market Frankford line all the way up to the Frankford transportation center. I got really lucky. I managed to find the 14 bus and waited two minutes and it arrived so I decided to take it rather than take the Uber. Filled out that I saved about $22-$25 doing that which was really good. So I arrived at the place they’re very nice game and Backpack and I discovered I could catch the 14 bus back. Well low and behold, I had to cross about eight lanes of traffic to catch the bus on the far right portion of the Roosevelt Boulevard. The bus wasn’t labeled unfortunately there was a long red light so I caught it just nick of time which was really good. So then I caught the market Frankfurt line and I’m about to get off it Broad and Lombard. It’s now 11:11 AM. Well, I got the Mike’s & got a tiny bit of lunch. This was a yogurt, another super coffee and two bananas. I then had to go to Dr. Ehrlich‘s office by 12:15 PM. He finally saw me at 12:30. He assured me that it was basil carcinoma, which is the least severe of the cancers that I could’ve gotten on the skin and he said it was healing fine. I decided I’d go to Mary’s because my phone died and also I didn’t have time to walk back to Mike’s and catch the bus so I hung out with Mary & charge my phone to about 11% and then just in the nick of time Icon the 12 bus.

Monday, March 30: NE Philly w/Mike

Today I got up early after sleeping and having really far out dreams. I did get the Mike’s early because we’re going to Northeast Philly.  Iwill he wasn’t really up for all this because Mike’s gotten rejected so many studies and also have the driveway up in the northeast. But he was insistent this. So we called Uber. He came pretty quickly. He had a nice big car so Mike could get in and I could easily put in his Rollator. We arrived in some generic office campus off of Roosevelt Boulevard. We got there close to 9 o’clock. Right now it’s 10:12 PM. Mike’s blabbing his ass off to the people try to get in the program. We’re supposed to pay $100 just to show up here today which is basically pay off the Ubers back-and-forth. Well, it’s 11:51 AM. It soundsMike might be done soon. They had him in this little room for a while. This office is full of boxes and stuff. In the front it’s pretty funny. Mike finally got out around noon and we took another delightful. Uber trip back down to Center City from Northeast Philly a.k.a. Roosevelt Boulevard. 9500 Roosevelt Blvd. Anyhow, we got back to Mike’s. I had lunch got a call from Dr. Ehrlich. My dermatologist in the lab shows that what they removed did have cancer so he removed the cancer from the top of my head. He said he got it all out but I requested an appointment tomorrow around 12:15 PM to double check that claim and find out if he thinks the thing is healing. Joey is a bad time when it sore or wound doesn’t heal and in this case that was absolutely true. It’s now 2:52PM. I’m at the CVS. I’m about to start the shopping festivities for Mr. Mike. He called about getting an infusion before I left and the best they can do is tomorrow sometime after 2 o’clock his liquids are flowing so that’s why he’s calling them. Well, Mike just texted me while I was at CVS and I left my backpack up in Northeast Philly now I gotta take an extra trip to Northeast Philly to get my backpack back and of course when I call them you’re not gonna answer cause that office looks really under equipped and ridiculous so hopefully they saved it so I don’t go up there for nothing. It’s got yoga clothes another miscellaneous crapthat I leave there. So I had to call Mary and ask her to bring my backpack back. Oh, by the way, the Phillies lost two out of three to Texas Rangers. Well, Mary was nice enough to bring my yoga clothes, but I have to go to Northeast Philly tomorrow again…! Anyhow, I did go to the 4 PM class with byron and I felt better. I think three good nights of sleeping helped out but you end up with a different body every day. After that we went back to Mary’s and then I had off to my 90 night beginners meeting 
while Mary was gonna eat her samosas and talk to old friend of her.
