The one who stayed away saved all the rest.

I was phoned the day before appointment and asked if I had symptoms. Screened for symptoms before I was allowed into hospital. (Kaiser). Almost no one in usually packed prescription line. Once crowded halls almost deserted. Huge difference from when I did blood test a couple of days before. Oncology waiting room just me and a couple of others. Usually 20+ patients. Heard receptionists talking about their worry of being exposed to virus from patients and that there might be a plan that patients would phone from parking lot and then be told when to come to oncology so that there would be no waiting room. My blood test was ok except for the anemia; psa still 0.1; received my Xgeva injection. Doctor said "we" had discussed phoning and canceling my appt. Was told I had 5 risk factors: male, age, drugs and cancer impacting immune system and something else. She stayed 2 feet away, hard to do in tiny room. No handshaking or fist bumps. Told to shelter-in-place at home as much as possible. Told to stay away from hospital unless I really needed to be seen. Next appt. in 3 months. We mostly talked about the virus. She said my Kaiser Hospital only had 12 ventilators and that if you were 80 years or older in Italy they just let you die. We can all do the math. I decided to cross the line I didn't want to cross and asked about being changed to handicapped status. She instantly agreed. I hate to play the cancer card. But the times they are a changing. Went to Sam's and got cat food, no toilet paper. Got a hair cut. Later went to car lot and looked at cars. I will search for cat litter and toilet paper today. You gotta do what you gotta do. I am pretty much recession proof. But I have many friends and relatives who are not. I wish you all the best. Enjoy, if you can.

The litter costs more than toilet paper. If you could find them. I don't have a bidet (yet). May have to run garden hose through the window. Don't go swimming in the Hudson.

[j-o-h-n in reply to monte1111]

Don't forget the spray gun on the hose..... As they used to say "I wouldn't even put my boat in the Hudson".... Remember what the bear said when they ask him what he used to wipe himself with, and he said "a rabbit"............. (cats?)

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

I may need a heavy duty pressure washer. My cats are wild, can't catch them. I'll have to hold it till the leaves fall in October. I'll get some oxy. That should work.
