BD's Announcement
Posted: September 23rd, 2015, 6:57 pm
No, it's not just that I'm coming down for Homecoming.
Some of you follow my youngest son's progress on Carepages but many of you do not. He is facing more treatment in the near future. This time the docs want to do radiation. He will be starting sometime this fall. We will know more after Tuesday. I'm going to request starting after Thanksgiving as I plan to come back to Durham for Thanksgiving this year too - BD's family is having a mini-reunion. We have every faith that radiation will be the knock out punch.
Radiation is every day for 6 weeks. I also want to be available for early pick-up if necessary for the rest of the school year. Consequently, I have given notice at my job that I will be leaving when the treatment begins. I quit my job! I've never quit a job before. (I had summer jobs but that never felt like quitting.) It feels weird even though I'll still be working for at least another month and maybe two. I'm trying to finish up a couple of projects. I've had this particular job since 1996, I've been working with my boss since 1994, and I've been working in the Harvard Medical School area since 1988, Right now, I don't know how long I will voluntarily remain unemployed, at least for this school year. Knowing me, I'll be looking for work by May but still. No, I don't want to take leave. I need a clean break. Still, strange.
