Why does it seem like its always either Tuesday or Friday to me? And here it is Friday again, another trip up Rt. 29 to NIH for chemo. (heavy sigh!). Next week we go there three times (Monday, Tuesday and Friday) because its time for the monthly visit to the ENT clinic as well. On Wednesday we'll both have acupuncture (up Rt. 29 again) and Thursday I'll be going to an annual ornament exchange (where we no longer exchange ornaments). I'm really looking forward to seeing my old gang. A very full week ahead. There is not much time in there for wrapping gifts, or to finish the shopping, or to bake cookies is there? At least Christmas week should be somewhat quieter. We'll only have to go to clinic once on Tuesday, but no chemo. Our Granddaughter will probably be with us most of that week. Its a good thing I'm retired :-). Where would work fit into my life right now?
There are a few changes underway at NIH that sadden me. Warren's doctor is leaving for Christmas holiday on Tuesday (we won't see her) and then after she returns will be rotating out of Oncology into Hematology. His usual nurse in the day hospital is relocating to the south and her last day will be December 29th. So we'll be getting new people into our stays there. We'll miss these two people because of the exemplary care that they've given Warren and their genuine caring way of being with us.
Everything changes, even when it doesn't feel like it. Life is always ebbing and flowing around us. Enjoy the ride today.
