Last night before bed I checked the time for the appointment today, 2:15 pm.
The morning check the time again and calculated the time I need to leave. Allow 45 minutes for the drive, arrive 30-40 minutes before the scheduled time. Leave at 1 pm.
Made my breakfast, did the morning chores. Walked the perimeter of my property, plus a bit more to get my first two miles in for the day. Started to marinate some chicken wings for lunch.
Check some things around the house and start the BBQ for the wings at 11:30. Phone rings unfamiliar number, 505 area code. I answer, it is the Cancer Center asking if I can move my appointment up to 1:30.
Quickly, recalculate the time I would need to leave, 12:15. The time to cook, eat, get ready and leave in 45 minutes. I tell her no problem. Quickly cook, eat, clean, get my stuff and leave. 12:10 pm
I arrive just 10 minutes before one and down my 16 ozs of water, then head to the waiting room. I sit down, the tech comes out at 1:08 and asks if I am ready. I said give me ten more minutes. She started to walk away, turned back and said: come in now, we can line you up on the table and wait a few until your bladder is full.
They get me on the table and line me up. then the CT Scan to fine tune the line up and focus where they are going to send the radiation. Then they start, so I assume the bladder is full, which she confirms after.
That's it for the week, I get the weekend off and then M-F for the next few weeks. Monday at 2:15 PM, for the moment.
