Well the first week of Proton Therapy is history for this guy. Thursday's treatment went fine and on Friday the staff is just like the rest of us. Ready for the weekend! You bet, after my treatment today (Friday) Patty and I are heading back to Kansas, 5 1/2 hour trip home to Marysville to see family, friends and neighbors.
I found out today that I can bring my own music to listen to while in the treatment room. Thinking about dubbing off some songs from my favorite group, The Doobie Brothers and some Jackson Brown, and then how about some REO Speedwagon, Ridin the Storm Out. I forgot to ask if their music machine takes CD's or Flash Drives. As techie as this place is I probably just have to tell Siri what songs I want and boom, they'll be playing Listen to the Music and Runnin on Empty. Any one know why they call her Siri?
During the wait time today, saw more children taking Proton Therapy. I am truly amazed at the number I have seen so far. All ages, but the ones that hit home the most are the young ones, age 7, age 5 and age 2. I have Grandchildren that age, again I've used this word many times in this blog, but it is so humbling. And the youngsters for the most part handle it all so well. Smiling, talking, running around and always a hug or two for their parents when the treatment is finished. I just never really understood or knew that so many children have this disease.
Anyhow, is was an interesting week, treatments were started, learned about Oklahoma City and the surrounding area and kind of have our days planned out. Total treatments 44, treatments completed this week 4, only 40 more treatments to go. I can not wait until I have 30 then 20 then 10 then 0.
I wanted you all to see the building, picture on your left and the treatment room, on the right.
Oh how about those Cardinals, three straight from the cubbies. I think we can catch them if our pitching stays at a high level.
