14 down and 21 to go?

I had my 14th radiation treatment today. I have 21 to go or so. It should be 35 or 36 total, but the dr. can decide to do more after that if he thinks it's needed. So, I keep going until he tells me I'm done. I'm getting a whole lot better at this one day at a time thing. I've had to.

Yesterday, the scanner broke 20 minutes before my time in the scanner. They called the technician and said they would call me when and if it was up and running. They called and I went in at 1:10 (my original time was 10:50). The radiation technicians were apologetic. I told them it wasn't their fault, they didn't break the scanner. They said quite a few people were upset at them because their day was upheaved. In the grand scheme of things I've been through, a scanner going down is not a big deal. I figured if through 35 treatments it only goes down once, that will be amazing!

I also got to see Nate this last weekend. On Saturday morning, I got in the backseat of my parents car with my pillow and we went to Connecticut. It was great to see him, but it made me miss him terribly. We spent a lot of time at the hotel and had a nice drive around the area. We met my Aunt, Uncle, Cousin and his family and went to a Memorial Day parade that was 2 hours long! We also had dinner with them that night. It was great to catch up! I slept really well that night. I also met Nate's bosses. They love him and would love to keep him forever. At least they have him for the year as he just signed a one year contract with them as Senior Resident Artist.

So, I just keep plugging away one day at a time, and am doing really well.
