a Change....



I've changed Physicians with my Cancer treatment from Iowa City to Waterloo. Considerably closer. Thursday I have an appointment at Unity Point Community Cancer Center. ..... Their Drs seemed much cuter than those in Iowa City!

I am NOT running to Iowa City again !!! 2 1/2 hours away... crazy traffic... CREEPS getting close to my Mercedes... If they can't do it in Waterloo then I really don't need it and it is time to make an end of it.

If you have to, find an alternative treatment.

Waterloo is definitely closer for you, plus you have the benefit of cuter docs. I trust they can get you fixed up good and proper.

I don't like to hear you talking about ending it. We need you around for the rest of our lives to keep us sane.

I hear you and the crew took a rain day off today. That is good medicine for all of the crew who have been putting in a lot of overtime.

It was a chilly, windy day here, mostly cloudy, high of 43F. A gradual climb to 57F by the weekend. I had breakfast with the neighbor today and his little doggy didn't want to let me come home for lunch. After lunch I walked the other neighbor's doggy and cleaned the leaves plugging the overflowing roof gutter for another neighbor. I am still chasing a mouse in the house that is driving me batty. He is evading my best efforts to entrap him.

Waterloo has great restaurants , by far more pleasant conditions, and better shopping opportunities.

I am sick of the whole cancer crap ... the drawn out chemo "solution" is not taking over my life.

I've been drawn deep into the financial whirlpool of property tax payments.... This has me deeply worried.

Never give up ! Chemo isn't as bad as the radiation treatment. Most feel somewhat sick the first day getting chemo, then sleep it off and the next day they feel better. Cute doctors r always a plus. My bf that had cancer had all women. He made me bring the Taco Bell sometimes. LOL
