Virtually
nothing is impossible in this world if you just put your mind to it
and maintain a positive attitude. - Lou Holtz
Four
more days to go. All I'm focused on now is counting these days down
until Friday, October 25th when I will have my last
radiation treatment and my last chemo treatment. Just four more days.
I'll
be honest. I was not looking forward to driving over the 7 mountains
and through the 7 valleys again this morning to arrive in Winchester
at the cancer center for my 10:15 radiation appointment. And, I
didn't enjoy it. But, thankfully, Carolyn has been maintaining a very
positive and supportive attitude.
We
actually arrived about 20 minutes early for my appointment – and a
very positive thing happened. The radiation techs, Colleen and
Allison (Michelle wasn't there this morning) called me in for my
treatment 15 minutes early. So, instead of going in at 10:15, I
actually was done and walking out the door at 10:15.
That's
about the sum total of the day today. Carolyn and I stopped and
picked up some of our favorite BBQ sandwiches to take home (her back
to West Virginia and me back to Judy's house). Carolyn drove me to
Judy's. I got my stuff to the front door with her assistance. We said
goodbye for the next few days and off she went heading back to West
Virginia. I moved my van back to park in front of Judy's (I had left
it on the other side of the street over the weekend so her lawn guy
could cut and trim where the van is normally parked). I took Judy's
garbage can to her back yard where she keeps it.
I
then went inside and piece by piece moved my stuff up to my room. I
laid down on my bed – and that was it. I stayed there until about 5
PM when I finally moved and went downstairs to be sociable with Judy.
We ate some dinner and chatted for a while. I then excused myself and
headed upstairs just before 8 PM. Not much to say for the day. But,
at this point in time and in my course of treatments, I expected it
to be something like this. So, the major goal for the next four days
is to get through the next four days. I'd like to do something
productive, but I'm not concerned if I don't get anything done.
Live
free and be happy. EH
