2 weeks gone!

I have been thinking about all of you out there…and thanking you again for your support.

The last two weeks have been fairly quiet. The radiation treatments are going on and each day comes a little closer to reality. The first days I just thought about being in Star Trek where Dr Bones was going to put me under his big machine and ZAP! all better!

Monday I realized that I was thinking about the place where the surgery was ….and that it was probably not a hole but the tissue had filled it in. I asked the Dr that morning. He said that the place where the tumor was fills with liquid…and mine was not so full…which was a good thing. The radiation goes to that place and a kind of side effect is that the liquid dries and the tissue does fill it in. Good thing. And the radiation is giving it more of a chance NOT to have cancer cells fill it in. I guess this is the simple picture for me. It was good to be more real.

And the sensations of the radiation are interesting sometimes tingling and sometimes a feeling of having had a bit too much sun. After I put the aloe vera cream on it ……………………………………………………………………………………….it goes away. So until now …mostly all is easy.

The whole thing is a bit surreal sometimes. And I look back and see where I have been ….and I know that I have walked a long and difficult path. with many supporters ….that made the way less traumatic and definitely not lonely.

I am also going through the difficult task of buying another car. This is financially not a great time as I will not be working now in the way I have been so taking on more monthly payments without secure income is a bit scary. And I cannot just buy another car like I have now. I love my old Subaru Outback but I do not like the new ones. So I am starting from scratch! I am looking at a FORD ……………………………………………………………………the first American car I have ever thought of owning. I like the feeling somehow.

The American Political scene is overwhelming now ……..our crisis of failure maintain any credibility of …..You name it. So Arizona has passed a bill ……and companies are canceling their reservations at resorts for conferences here and so on. Joyce is affected because she works at a Resort in Tubac. 5 reservations already have been canceled and they are not the only ones in this area. This is a small portion of the backlash. People saying NO! So I am happy about the No and we are challenged by the effect of the No!

So much going on! And I am rereading the Thomas Moore book …………………….Writing in the Sand!

Gotta go to my treatments now!
