Evening all. I am writing this on Tuesday night. Today has been a stressful day for me, but Di has had a good day. Yesterday she helped with the housework and did the most she has done since being under the weather. On Mondays we see the doc and have blood work. Doc was happy with the progress. He has a great wit and we talk more about other matters than cancer. He asked when I had last hugged Di!!! I had to give her a 2 minute hug in front of him and he told me that I needed to hug her more. We were in fits of laughter. There are a lot of misconceptions around how to treat a cancer patient. He was telling me that she was under more threat from the public than they her. One cannot get cancer from her. It helped to relax things. Today I was stressed trying to deal with medical insurance. Too many calls and waiting with music playing in the background. Always get frustrating as a lot of the numbers have a computer that you talk with. Well I have an English/South African accent and that confuses the computer and it keeps asking to repeat the question. In the end I lost it and screamed down the line only to be told by it that if I were finished I could hang up!!!!!! Ggrrrrr. Life used to be much easier. the US needs medical reform desperately!!!! You need a PhD in understanding all of it. Went to a Worship comm meeting tonight which was good as got my mind off things. Well tomorrow we will drive around Michigan for about 6 hours in total for radiation and then down to Ann Arbor for tests and then a visit to the chief cancer doc!!! I will be glad when it is over and we are back home.
Well think that is all. I will write either tomorrow night or Thursday.

you gotta love those... "You are number 15 in the queue. Your call is important to us... please be patient". Ag nee man, dit maak my vreeslik kwaad, daardie ding! Sounds like the US of A is just as inefficient as the good 'ol South of Africa when it comes to call centres! Breath... remember to breath... - IN.... OUT... and IN.... OUT! :)
