Coverboy Very Frustrated Doctor
The Wound Doctor Is Now Very Frustrated
By Daddy
Unknown — Last week the wound doctor ordered a biopsy, a wound culture, and blood tests. He's now very frustrated. The biopsy was negative. The wound culture was negative. The blood test while not negative didn't reveal any information that he didn't already know. Afterwards the wound nurse visited and recertified the home care for another 60 days and is very sympathetic towards the doctor (I suspect that secretly she was laughing her head off.)
I've unpacked the new Kallax cube and while it's grey; it's not the same grey as the other cube. I'm going with it for now and see if they work well together. If they don't I'll order any one of this years grey. It's all laid out ready to be inventoried, the first step in any Ikea build. The credenza top and bottom are ready to go, with casters in attached.
The Chicken soup is done and since I went heavy on the mushrooms, it's especially wonderful. Once again the noodles sit neglected in the cupboard which is a good thing as I'm really not suppose to have them. I still have a tray of the 99¢/pound thighs which I think I'm going to bake up. It's a good thing I like chicken.
We have a few reviews that'll probably show up on Friday as we don't have enough for a full week. I am actually very proud that we're all practicing the novel coronavirus self-quarantine rules.
I've submitted the change of address postcard which once it's in place should be good for a year. We'll know if it worked when mail starts showing up with those distinctive yellow labels. To all those that have donated, Thank you! Any help is appreciated. Here's a link to the How to Donate Page which has been updated with the new address.

By John Roland
Los Angeles — COVID-19 tests are not effective in guarding against on-set transmission of the coronavirus, and should not be used to determine on-set risk to talent and crew, Free Speech Coalition announced Monday. As of now, COVID-19 tests only detect whether or not a person has the virus at the time of the test. Someone who initially tests negative for COVID-19 can be exposed to the virus in the hours and days after the test, and subsequently pass it on to scene partners and crew. (More)
