We are now rather falling into the routine of radiation, lunch out, shome shopping, back home for a rest, dinner and then either TV or out again for a drive or some more shopping. When I say shopping, I mean my version of shopping where not a lot is purchased, as opposed to Mom's version of shopping which is the opposite.
When we visited Mom's doctor about two weeks ago, I asked who would be coming home from the radiation treatment with me - the tired lady in the wheelchair or the lady who couldn't wait to get home to start baking scones! Dr Boyd replied that while Mom would likely be tired at first she should regain some oomph in the weeks following radiation. So that's likely why she is now standing at the sink doing the supper dishes. Such a good daughter I am - when Mom says she can do the dishes, I let her!
We are now anticipating our arrival home tomorrow. The radiation appointment is at 1200, followed by a doctor's appointment at 1300. Checkout time is 1100. Today I asked for and was granted permission to check out by 1130. We plan to eat at the hospital cafeteria between the radiation and the doctor appointment and then blast out of Kelowna as soon as we can. Anyone who saw how full the car was when we left home will know how I'm feeling about packing it all in again, including all the shopping.
The next episode comes from home!
