Friday's treatment almost didn't happen because of "computer problems" (Does this sound familiar?). We had heard that this happens so we weren't totally unprepared. The tech called at 3 PM and cancelled Paul's appointment scheduled for 9:00 PM. Bummer, we thought. So we went out to dinner. Then the tech called back at 7:30 asking if Paul could come for his treatment after all. Fortunately, we're about two miles from the hospital. They had to restart the system three times but finally everything worked. It's now 5 down, 37 to go.
Paul had his weekly appointment with his assigned Loma Linda physician on Thursday. This guy really likes to talk! He has everything down to the lowest level, I guess assuming that he has patients of all different levels of understanding. We got the feeling that he thought he was talking to grade schoolers but we smiled and asked appropriate questions.
There are several other LL patients staying here at the Residence Inn. One man is from Australia and has brought his entire family (This includes approximately 12 grandchildren) to stay here with him for the entire nine week treatment period. Unfortunately, several of their rooms are either right next to us or right down the hall. Imagine the noise! Thankfully we brought our white noise machine, which drowns out about 90% of it.
No treatments on weekends -- more next week.
