BotFodder/Eric @botfodder.com · 17/09/2026Erika rang the bell today to celebrate the last round of radiation. It’s back to the new normal of immunotherapy (infusion every 3 weeks and a daily pill with no fun side effects). But, she hit a milestone. Crossposted with @openvibe.social 030

BotFodder/Eric @botfodder.com · 11/08/2026Note to self: While the phone can usually last a couple of days on a charge, you should probably charge it up before any ophthalmologist visit, since for multiple reasons you’ll spend several hours in a waiting room. Crossposted with @openvibe.social 000
BotFodder/Eric @botfodder.com · 07/08/2026You know where AI could do some good? Elevators. A lot of us could save ourselves a significant chunk of time if the thing looked at the clock and figured out that the next person to use it was likely going to be at one end rather than the other.

BotFodder/Eric @botfodder.com · 02/07/2026It would appear that, at least for my hospital (and the one Erika needs to get her infusion at) MyChar/Epic is down. Don’t have Twitter (refuse to call it the other thing) on my phone any more so I can’t search there … Crossposted with @openvibe.social 000
BotFodder/Eric @botfodder.com · 21/06/2026Is it just me or has the service industry quietly decided that 15% is too low for tips? Seems like 18% or 20% is the minimum suggested these days. Am I just old now? Crossposted with @openvibe.social 000

BotFodder/Eric @botfodder.com · 22/04/2026Piece of advice: If you ever put a moderate (or large) amount of data in a table and send it to someone else, before you do, sort it by each column and look for dupes where there shouldn’t be any. Otherwise you will be called on it. 100
BotFodder/Eric @botfodder.com · 26/03/2026Apparently the .2 PSA was enough for my doctor to say “Let’s monitor every four months to see where it goes.” So, still no need to treat but making sure it doesn’t go up. 50/50 at this point. 000
BotFodder/Eric @botfodder.com · 20/03/2026The @alerts.fuelrats.com have some rescues farther than 65K Lightyears from Sol in Elite:Dangerous, so my personal best of 23K isn’t really that far - especially with the Caspian Explorer and the Neutron Highway making it take just over 50 jumps.

BotFodder/Eric @botfodder.com · 11/03/2026Doctor at 940a: You can go home today! Me at 340p: For various definitions of “today”. Waiting on meds and transport, but otherwise ready to go. 010
BotFodder/Eric @botfodder.com · 11/03/2026There were some complications and she’s going to need a foley for a few weeks, but Erika is feeling much better and will be able to come home today. We’re just waiting for the nurse/doctor to come in and kick us out. 010
BotFodder/Eric @botfodder.com · 06/03/2026Update: They took a tumor out of Erika (along with a kidney, some shavings from her rib cage) Wednesday. She’s very sore but will probably be home by Monday. They were going to do HIPEC but decided against it to protect the remaining kidney. Probably more chemo/immunotherapy in her future. 020
