I'm not sure why I am counting down the weeks until my radiation therapy treatments are over---the people are nice, the treatment is short and painless. But I guess I just want to be able to move on. Today was treatment #13 of 30. I plan to have Ali take my picture with my mask on at the completion, and then post it on the blog. Since it is custom fit to my face, I get to keep it. It will be a good way to scare the Trick-or-Treaters next Halloween.
We are going to Eugene tomorrow with John and Judy J. to see Pete and Tracy's new house for the first time. We had originally planned to go over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, but other events intervene. And of course, we get to see the now-crawling Sofie and the precocious Lucy, not to mention Pete and Tracy.
This past week marked the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, so I missed my day at the Virginia Garcia Clinic in Cornelius. Marge had a coffee that morning for about 15-20 friends from the Terra Linda neighborhood, friends that go back to when the kids were in elementary school. I was in exile at the neighbors across the street. :-(
Numerous people have graciously asked what they can do for me, what they can do for us. We really have everything we need: A dog (on loan from Andy and Ali), a cleaning lady, a yard person to rake up the winter yard kill....If people want to do something, I'd suggest a contribution to Haiti Relief. There are plenty of worthy organizations (e.g., Red Cross, Mercy Corps, Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam) that would gladly accept contributions!
We are looking forward to a Vikings victory over the Saints on Sunday. Go Vikes!
More later,
Norm
