No longer in my mind

We are actually here in the mountains. We arrived just before the sun set so we could actually see what feels so good. It has been a busy week with doctors, family, friends, concerts and such. Cannot understand why we feel so exhausted. James Taylor at Chastain was great. He has such a versatile, strong voice and it does not seem like the years effect his range at all. When he played "In my mind I'm going to Carolina" I just closed my eyes and wished and ......poof here we are. I think after I get my port installed on Monday I am going to go to the oncologist and get them to run a hose from their office to our home here. Getting toxified on the deck overlooking the lake and mountains sounds a lot more appealing. It is very strange to think I am going to have another hole put in me so they can pour chemicals in. I am beginning to feel like the teapot that couldn't.

The actual chemo will start on Thursday morning and will be once a week for either 6 or 9 weeks depending on blood test results and scans. We are hoping to be able to make a few more escapes up here in between the treatments.

Question: What takes 30 minutes to do but needs all day to start and finish.
Answer: A port installation at St Joes. The install(like a computer program) is scheduled for 12:30 but we need to arrive at 9:00 and I will probably wake up around 2 and leave between 2:30 and 3. I should not complain because the alternative would be to have an IV line each time I go for chemo. My poor, already petrified veins are very greatful for the port. I will be a private docking station for passing ships. I think I will call it Port RSB for right shoulder blade because that is where Dr. Daneker is going to install it. I ask him why there and he said because he is left handed and it is an easier access for him. I liked that.

I hope you have as nice of a weekend as I will. If any of you would like to speak to us feel free to wait until Monday evening (jus kiddin). And to all a good night.
