8/1/21

It’s Sunday, and the first day of August. I didn’t write yesterday, but I spent the afternoon/evening at Courtney‘s house. It sure was nice. I have three appointments tomorrow, so my day is pretty full. My dry run in the radiation department was Friday, and my first one with the real dose will be tomorrow afternoon. I’ll be in that same weird machine trying to hold my breath and keep it in the zone.

I have blood work in the morning at 8:15 AM, then I see my oncologist at 9:15. He’s the one going to give me the results of my CAT scan last Wednesday. I still don’t know how I’m going to find out if I can actually have radiation tomorrow because my blood count was too low the last time I had it checked. Perhaps they’re waiting till tomorrow to see for sure.

I just go day by day. I don’t have much choice otherwise. The lightning/thunder/wind/rain storm that we had on Friday night really filled up the lake. The water was getting pretty close to the RV, but it has since gone down about a foot. Lightning struck at the end of the campground and then I saw it hit the flag pole above the office. We were really booming that night.

Since I am staying here alone now, I’ve got to give a shout-out out to Netflix. They are the only ones checking on me every few hours.

“Are you still watching?”

“Yeah, baby, I’m still here.”
