I'm sitting here in the "Canteen" at MDA using their high speed connection while Susan snoozes on a nearby couch. This place has a bunch of recliners and a few couches for patients to rest on while they await the next procedure. In Susan's case this is very helpful, since our room wasn't ready when we arrived. Our trip down on Southwest was pretty uneventful and again Judy Hewlett's chauffering skills greatly helped the strain on Susan. Nevertheless, we still had to do a lot of walking through two airports, and by the time we got here Susan was pretty exhausted--hence the nap on the couch. They say it takes one to two hours for her blood work to be done, so we will take it easy for awhile before heading up to the "CTRC" where the chemo is scheduled to be administered. So far Susan has refused my offers to get her a wheelchair, but with her low food input, and the disease itself, I know she is nearing exhaustion. Please pray that she can hold on while we do chemo and recover this evening. Thanks!
