1 Down, 41 to Go

We arrived here yesterday afternoon. If you can possibly avoid it, don't drive into southern California on a Sunday! Traffic was very bad.

Paul had his first proton treatment at 9:00 AM. The first treatment takes a little longer as several additional steps are done. It took about 45 minutes, from the time he left the waiting room to the time he returned. Tomorrow's appointment is at 6:30 PM. "Newbies" generally get evening appointments. We have put in a request for a morning appointment, on an ongoing basis. They said that they would try to accomodate us as the schedule permits.

Paul reports that he felt nothing during and after the treatment. The techs said he did "very well", as in he didn't fidget too much! He is currently out walking to Best Buy (about 1-2 blocks) to buy a line cord that we forgot to bring for my desktop computer. We borrowed the one from my power wheelchair to connect the computer.

That's about all there is to report for now.
