My first time in this waiting area on the 5th floor of Fred Hutch, building 2. It’s a nice peaceful morning as I await the port placement procedure. This is a new building, just opened last year. I love the thought that went into this building — my compliments to the architect! Lots of natural light in here, with visibility to Lake Union, and Gas Works park. This would have been a prime spot to watch the fireworks.
Well… it is peaceful no more. Someone sat nearby and they are blasting news on their phone, sans headphones. How do people not realize how rude that is? I need to start bringing my noise-canceling headphones with me more often, to help preserve my sanity in moments like this…

Too often I am surprised by how rude and selfish people can be. I guess I am still grateful that it surprises me. That is a really nice view.
Totally! I chatted with the nurse about it afterwards; he said that he encounters that kind of phone behavior a lot.
Here’s to the port procedure going through without a hitch! Four months of every-other-week look like a lot (and it is), but with Gretchen just having passed her 3-month weekly milestone, it does go quickly. Glad you are getting great care, Jonathan!
Thank you Matt! That is great to hear about Gretchen. Time flies when you’re … doing chemo? 🙂
Wow what a view!!!
Definitely! I love looking out the windows from that Fred Hutch building.
