First snafus

One of the reasons Rick and I selected this facility was that I would be able to continue the radiation therapy while taking the physical therapy. That all seemed to fall apart this afternon when first my radiation therapy session was postponed and then had to be canceled because the transportation issues had not yet bene resolved. Hopefully that will be resolved tomorrow and we'll be able to get back to the regular radiation therapy sessions.

I had a number of wonderful visitors this afternoon. Wendy was able to bring one of her golden retrievers with her who was very well behaved and very well received by people at the facility. Dogs just seem to have an innate sense when someone is feeling unwell. Cleo was most attentive and it was a pleasure to see her.

I had a few surprise phone calls today. I spoke to one of my stepfather's sisters, Naomi. It seems forever since the last time we had spoken. We had a great conversation reminiscing about Grandmom and Pap Pap Schuhart.

Otherwise I am still resting comfortably. I am finally starting to get into the
Laura Lippman books about Baltimore that I am very much looking forward to reading as they seem to be full of references to places that I remember quite well.

I did have a secondary physical therapy session this afternoon - namely leg exercises in the room but the therapist, Tai (named after Tai Babylonia) continues to seem encouraged.

Rick and Wendy brought over a few items to make it a bit more comfortable for visitors including some fold-up chairs that store in my closet, and visitors are of course welcomed at any time.

I continue to thank you all so much for your emails and blog comments. Nothing literally makes me happier than when I glance at my Blackberry and I see that there are messages there for me to read.
