Treatment Day 6 of 28

 Today's appointment is at 10am.

Freezing cold and it snowed last night, will have to recalculate my departure time.

The first part of the journey was a bit slick on the dirt road, which had iced over. Goldmine road had some snow, fortunately, it was not on the steep part, nor was there any ice. Highway 14 into town had been salted and was clear. I was debating on taking I25 or Cerrillos Road to get to the Cancer Center. Decided it might be less crazy on the freeway. I was traveling along just fine, when traffic came to a halt. Seems someone had slipped off the road into the center of the freeway and they had blocked the left lane to remove it. Took a little extra time but I had left early so I was fine.

Arrived at the Center, forty-five minutes early, they took me right in as I was the only radiation patient at the time. They are so good at this place. It being Wednesday, I meet with a nurse to check my weight, Pulse and BP. My BP was still a bit high, though lower than it was last week. I met with my oncologist, we are going to adjust my meds, hopefully, this will help me to sleep, which in turn could reduce my BP. My weight did drop a couple of pounds, more to lose.

Ran one of the errands from yesterday and then returned home before the snow starts to fall, again.

Contacted my UPS driver to see if he was working today, he wasn't. I had a delivery coming and knew he couldn't make it up my road due to the condition it. I thought I could meet him on my way home.

I await my delivery at home when I saw a post that UPS truck had gotten stuck at the very beginning of the dirt road, my driver will be back tomorrow. 

A friend had texted, earlier, asking if I am available to meet for dinner, listen to a group and have a sleepover. I let her know I would have to leave early for my appointment on Friday, she can lock up.

10am tomorrow.
