A random Pic from Costa Rica...

Sometimes you don't know where to start. I think there is some sort of law that when you post on your blog and since this is post just some random thoughts I decided to grab a random picture from a trip to Costa Rica many years ago. 

I gave my nephew a ride to work and had to be up at 5:45 today, I hope to stay awake and maybe get some stuff done around the house.  So far I have cooked breakfast and completed part of a wellness activity online. The wellness activity is something I do to keep my health insurance benefits at a higher level, something I'm thankful for as I see the bills that are being paid at 100% for my chemo.

Yesterday I made a trip to MMMC/ the James, this may sound kind of weird but after not going down last week it was good to get there. As I've shared before I'd been going pretty much once or twice a week for 3 months now, you get to know a lot of people doing this.  Its not just because in a sense my life is in their hands, but they also become a part of your life.  I almost did not get to meet Carley, the lady who has been scheduling all of my x-rays, CT Scans and MRIs, she tracked me down as I was leaving the pavilion.  She said she felt like she knew me and wanted to connect a face with the name. 

Names seem to have always been a problem for me, there are however a lot of faces connected to this journey I'm on.  From the lady in the lobby telling me which window to check in at, the ladies drawing blood and giving me chemo, the DR. deciding on the treatment plan, to the people bringing me snacks and water on the 11th floor.  I may not always remember your name but you are an important part of this. 

As for the DR. visit, he said the CT Scan, MRI showed no changes, and my blood counts are all up where they should be.  I have an appointment after the surgery when the DR. will look at the pathology reports and decide if other treatments will be needed.
