TRANSITIONING

Feb 7/10

Our routine changed a bit this past week and we had some different experiences.  The doctor who was supposed to see me on Monday was ill so we just met with a nurse.  She was nice and helpful but wasn’t able to evaluate my progress so I will have to wait until this coming Monday for a doctor’s opinion.

I had some appointments this week that were scheduled late in the day, but they called me and got me in early in the afternoon.  That was nice, although it meant that we had to drive rather than walk to the clinic.  Then one morning we went in for an early appointment and there was a big delay.  A bulb had burned out in the radiation machine and they had an “engineer” working on the replacement.  We waited for about 2 hours and then they sent us home with a call back later in the day.

We had lunch with friends from Kamloops and it was great to see familiar faces and talk about people and places that we used to know.  We’re finding that this part of our life on the road is a bit lonely as we haven’t had any opportunities to make new friends.  Everything we do is temporary and we’re headed into another transitory period for the next few weeks.  My last treatment is Monday and then we are free to plan our trip, but we won’t be able to leave until March 1^st.  We’ll need to keep ourselves busy or we’ll go crazy (or just crazier?)
