25th Treatment Completed ...

... 17 to go. Still no significant side effects to report, for which we're very grateful.

This has been a relatively good week, no outages or cancellations, at least not for Paul. His appointment times this week were all in the morning; that's a good thing for us. Some men prefer evening appointments, claiming that they then have the entire day for other activities. Our theory is that if the equipment fails, a person with a morning appointment that gets cancelled can sometimes get squeezed in later in the day. It's happened to Paul twice.

According to the City of San Bernardino, we are now considered "permanent residents" (and therefore tax exempt insofar as the hotel bill goes), as we've been here more than 30 days. Hard to believe!

We've taken several days trips, two of which were to see two of our Las Vegas neighbors who are in California for various medical reasons. Today we went to Flabob airport in Riverside for lunch. It's not a big place but the trip was enjoyable. Sorry but there are no pictures to post as the camera batteries went dead en route.

More next week.

You are such a good writer. I am happy to hear that you and Paul are able to do other things besides waiting for treatments.

It is wonderful that you are keeping a journal on all that is happening during a rough time in your life; but,with a promising future. You are terrific and strong. Like they say nowadays "you go girl". Give our best to Paul. Also, is he able to read email? I stopped sending him because I thought he would not be allowed to use his computer.

How does it feel to be a "citizen" in a different city? That is awesome really. Now you belong in a special way to all around you. (And it doesn't hurt not to have to pay taxes no matter where you are!)

I love hearing about your adventures. You and Paul enjoy every moment, and be glad for it. Jerry and I are following your progress and hoping for noting but the best.
