wonder drug that fixes Wednesday, March 21 2018
Gretchen was at the bookstore for most of the day, though she'd left Neville with me so I could take him to the Hurley vet. He'd developed yet another mystery lump on his body, one similar to the lump that was eventually removed from his face. That lump had been some sort of weird interaction between a hair follicle and the underlying tissue and been considered benign. Today's lump of concern was on Neville's left forearm. The vet poked it with a needle to remove some tissue and then went off to examine it under a microscope. He later reported, as expected, that the tissue looked to be inflammatory in nature and not cancerous. He prescribed me a gradually tapering prescription of prednisone, the wonder drug that fixes all manner of problems as it wreaks havoc on your immune system.
