10 minutes before I was to leave for Radiation treatment this morning, Lori, one of my Techs calls and tells me the machine is broken. She said it must have known I was coming !! Ha Ha. Today, my schedule was filled so unless the machine got fixed within an hour or so, radiation wasn't happening. Not long after, another girl calls and tells me the machine is down for the whole day and i should just come in tomorrow at my scheduled time. Ok, no problem. I proceed to get ready to drive to Milwaukee to visit with my friend Susan (Cancer Fight) who is here visiting with her family. Half way into my drive (I feel so independent now that I can drive long distances again!) Lori calls me and tells me the machine is going to be down for two days! I really broke it this time! Ha Ha. So Lori wants me to drive to the UW Hospital tomorrow morning for treatment (I guess they don't want to miss two days in a row) and asks me if this would be a problem - yep. I'm busy in the morning so it has to be in the afternoon. Ok. Got the new appointment set up and life is good. I can once again concentrate on driving and singing with the radio :)
I spent a wonderful afternoon with Susan. We talked the whole time and conversation was never lacking. I wish they didn't live so far away. She looks wonderful and her outlook is amazing. I need to take lessons from her!
Halfway into our visit, my iphone rings. (Have I told you lately how cool an iphone is and that you should get one?) I thought for sure it was one of the kids. Nope. It was Lori again. This time the Radiotherapy people at the hospital can't take me at whatever machine I got scheduled on for whatever reason! Now my appointment is pushed out to 5 pm on a different machine. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Lots of changes can be made before 5 pm!! Afterall, this is the hospital and I know how messed up things can get there!
I'll keep you posted!!
