A local catastrophy

Just before 8AM this morning, a light plane near Palo Alto's airport struck some high voltage wires. The three people on the plane were killed. No one on the ground at the crash site was killed and they think the pilot may have steered the crashing plane into the empty street rather than into one of the neighborhood houses potentially saving more lives.

The high voltage wires they hit fed the city of Palo Alto--including Stanford. As a result, the cancer center closed today so I couldn't get back to Kelly with feedback about the switch to Oxycodone from Morphine. That will have to wait until morning.

And the message is simple. Mary is feeling pain, differently than before. She used the term "sharper" to compare the feeling on morphine vs Oxy for her back pain. Mary is eating but still small portions. And so far, it has stayed with her.

Ingrid spent the afternoon with Mary. Thanks to Ingrid and even doubly so given today is her birthday!
