  2. A quotation from Gracian

    Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it.
     
    [Nunca se le ha de abrir la puerta al menor mal, que siempre vendrán tras él otros muchos, y mayores, en celada.]

    Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
    The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 31 (1647) [tr. Jacobs (1892)

    -- Case Report: In mid-Sept 23, an elderly man from #Kenai Peninsula with history of #drug-induced #immunosuppression secondary to #cancer treatment noted a tender red papule in his right axilla. Over the next 6 wks, presented to his primary provider & local ED several times for clinical evaluation of lesion & was prescribed multiple antibiotic regimens.

  5. Relieved to be back on my strong #immunosuppression drug tonight, that keeps my frustratingly active life-threatening #neurological disease under control. But also grateful that I stopped the same drug for 2 weeks while I got through my first brush with #Covid. That helped my body cope with the #infection. But yup, feel safer tonight. #immunosuppressed #neuro
