It's my patient's 83rd birthday tomorrow. I hope we send him home to
celebrate. He'll be with me always... as I believe there is a
worrisome amount of his bone dust in my lungs.

LONG day today -- even longer than my work-plus-business-school days
last year! It's really hard to get home at the time you should be
heading to bed. I always have to stay up and unwind a little bit. But
then, here we are, hours past bedtime. I'll give you the hours worked
tally at the end of the week. I bet it doesn't sound as impressive as
it feels.

Good night!
