Today (Monday) was the tenth treatment which means I am halfway done. It has been pretty uneventful just long. I also saw the nurse educator again who also watches out for radiation side effects and she was pleased with how things were looking. My treatment was late today for the first time ever....usually I get in about 10-15 minutes early but they were really running behind today so I got to see some different people. It is all the same no matter what. They have all the calculations so it works just like clockwork.
I am now over at the Hope Lodge which is an amazing facility. Kind of like a mix of a dorm and a hotel. The rooms are very nice and everyone gets a shelf, a door shelf in the refrigerator and a shelf in the freezer, plus a little locked cupboard for dry goods etc. They have fully equipped kitchens with all the dishes and untensils you might need. There are TV rooms, library rooms, and exercise room and of course laundry. Tomorrow night is a potluck which I plan to attend and meet some of the other people who are staying here.
When I filled out the paperwork, the lady said that I might want to know that they have a crow problem here. I was kind of puzzled until I looked out my window to see the top of every tree filled with black crows. Was a little freaky especially if you grew up in the era of Alfred Hitchcock and ever saw "The Birds"! Yikes!! They also make lots of noise in the morning as they are waking up. I am certianly glad that dawn isn't at 4:30!
Cold and snowy again today but I guess this is Minnesota. I am off to bed because I am starting to feel more tired than usual. Maybe the suggestion or maybe I just am. So until the next post....Hugs to all.
Love, Patsy
