23 September 2010 Cycle Four Treatment One



Just returned home from another trip back east at Bethesda MD for treatment.Every thing is status quo. Monday we were at the clinic for 12 hours, made for a very long day. Tuesday was a little less hectic so we went back to the hotel for a respite. Then we went had a lovely dinner and relaxed conversation at my friends home. Back to the clinic on Wednesday for my chemo treatment. we were free for the first time by noon----now what to do with ourselves......go back to the hotel and nap, then out to dinner in down town Bethesda. the hotel offers a free shuttle to downtown Bethesda after 5 pm so we caught that. walked around town for a bit then went to the same Italian restaurant where I went last month for Amber's birthday.

Coming home was different. after all passengers are boarded onto the plane the captain comes on and say " um folks we have a little delay here as the weather radar doesn't seem to be working properly----it'll be about 20 min and they'll decide what to do about it----20 min later same spiel with the added note that a "back up plane" would be there about 8:30 PM it is now 6:00 PM. 20 min later he says we have clearance for take off---claps from the passengers. After being delayed for a hour we were actually only about 30 min later landing at PDX.

Sure was nice to sleep in my own bed last night.
