ONCE AGAIN 32 down - 3 to go

Well here we sit waiting on tomorrow! After a rough morning, dad was determined to make this a better day. He woke up sick but still wanted to go down to the dining room and have his boost (breakfast)! So determined...that he had two!!!
What a great start to the day! All until we received a phone call from next door saying his machine was broke again...no radiation today!Or doctor appt. And now he is frustrated! These two weeks have been LONG.........He mentioned to me that he feels like his nerves are getting bad and he is having a problem relaxing! I think some of this may be anxiety as well as the pain meds he is taking. I try to keep convincing him that it will be over before he knows it and he will be back to normal once again! He is up in the room reading another book, I think this helps pass the time and keep his mind occupied!
Anyway, things are a buzzing here again downstairs in the dining room...some that are not able to have radiation because of the machine, some that had radiation this morning early, and some that are just getting back from their chemo infusions! My greatest joy so far today was seeing Syd and his wife, they have been over at the hospital since Christmas day! Bless them, they are worn out after having a rough few days! Hopefully everything will be better for them as well going into this new year!
As for me, I will be headed back to Lp today, Toni will be here to relieve me in a few hours. The restaurant has been really busy and I think Shannon is ready for me to be back, we have a real big day tomorrow!!!!
Everyone keep praying, praying that the darn machine gets fixed and dads frustration subsides!!!!!LOL ~ Sonya~
