Got discharged from PT, feels good to not be in pain for two hours a day. Turns out foam rolling your IT is a thing and can alleviate 80% of a half-year's worth of pain within half a week. I'm a little annoyed that the orthopedic physician I saw never mentioned it, but they get a by for being a student trainee I guess...

Been going through a series of drug books, Acid Test, Methland, and now Dreamland. All have been fascinating, but damn if the history of almost every drug hasn't been plagued with social strife. Shit's fucked.

Headed home now, spent the last three weeks holed up in lab trying to get datas. It went okay... culminating in an experiment Monday that showed not just a negative effect, but an inverse effect from what I was expecting. More controls are needed to actually figure out wtf's going on, since cell culture can be pretty easy to mislead when the conditions across different cell lines, like the population density half a week back, vary in subtle ways.

In any case, flying back to California and trying not to think about it for a couple weeks. Time to visit Berkeley + SF and make the rounds of all the friends who I haven't seen in a year.
