Today I had my 5th radiation treatment. Each day I check in, change into a hospital gown then go to a waiting room. There are 3 treatment areas. I have treatment on the same machine each day. There are usually 4 to 6 patients waiting in the waiting room. After 5 days of conversation we have each told our cancer story, with the exception of one man who just listens. The stories are varied and involved with repeat diagnosis. Some return in another area, some inoperable....radiation is hoped to make the positive turnaround.
Last week Andy,Laura,Cal and Nora sent a "Mimi's Magic Calendar"
it has 28 boxes with sweet stickers that keep the box closed until it is time to open the appropriate day. Inside is a beautiful picture of a family member. I am counting down the 28 days with a wonderful surprise picture each day. I love looking at beautiful children and grandchildren pictures......brightens my day.
High school reunion is coming up this weekend. I am looking forward to seeing my classmates. I know there will be many to catch up with and others we will miss that will not be there.
Martha,
