Radiation Begins

Mike started his 34-session series of radiation treatments on January 18. The radiation technologist took a series of pictures for us; this is one of them. They are very nice there.

Mike is feeling positive and optimistic now. The first day (whenb this picture was taken) we had to drive in through a blizzard and freezing rain - then once into town, Mike realized he had forgotten his wallet, so he dropped me off at work and went back to get it, thinking that they wouldn't take him if he didn't have his health card. Well, when we got there, he offered it and the woman said, "Oh, that's OK - we've got you all set up."

Got some good news yesterday; my former boss, who has liver cancer, is doing much better.

We have cleaned up all the Christmas decor, and are back to normal at home. Huge snowfall today.

Monday, January 24 is the Canadian election. We do need a change in government; having been closer to the top these few years, I can't believe that it has become so wasteful. That happens with nearly every government. As a non-partisan public servant, I have seen this many times before. It will happen to a new government eventually, too, but fresh blood is required.
