When I was walking from the hospital parking lot this morning I saw a woman wondering around. Turns out she lost her car. She said she’d been there 3 times already today and just couldn’t remember where it was. I tried helping her find it but they’ve got the numbering system there so whacked out that I wasn’t really much help. I went up to pay for mine and helped this little old couple with the machine. While helping them, the parking attendant they have there finally showed up and thanked me for helping them. I told him about the lost lady in the parking lot so he sprinted off to help her. My good deeds for the day?
I also found out today that I’ve only put on about 3000 kms on my car since last May. That’s even with lending it to my sister for a week. Poor car. Never gets to go anywhere. I’m sure making up for it now, driving to Abbotsford and back every day.
So this was my first full week of radiation and the only down side is the daily drive. I don’t have any blisters yet, but the techs keep a close watch on that. I am really tired tho. I’m suspecting it’s part driving and part side effect. My appointments are all of about 12 minutes, and more often than not, I’m in and out earlier than my appointment time. The techs are awesome. Even tho I get really uncomfortable there, they do make it easier. They seem to continue conversations they’ve started with me the day before, making me feel like I’m not really a stranger. And they always get me a warm blanket 🙂 They’ve got AC running in the room to keep the big machines cool. They all really like my tattoo and either comment on it every day or sneak looks at it.
Overall, it’s been a fairly good week. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
