Another Exciting Night in the ER

Well, I had another exciting night in the Emergency Room, Saturday! At least they didn't admit me, but I was there for 7 hours. That probably wouldn't have been so bad except it was at night, didn't leave until 2AM and I'm not awake at such hours! I'm an 8:00 bedtime type of gal - but I can probably recite the tragic events of Saturday AM in Tucson, since I heard it over & over on CNN (for 7 hours). It's unfortunate that in a matter of minutes, so many lives can be changed forever. It makes me realize just how fortunate I am, while I don't really have control of what's happening in my life, I'm at least alive and able to make choices. I fail to think about just how quickly that could be taken from me, it takes an event like this one to bring that home. When I look at it like that, 7 hours in the Emergency Room is nothing but a slight inconvenience!

I had to run some errands today, so I decided to spend some time at the main building at the clinic. They'll probably have some kind of music here this afternoon, plus there's a great little Mexican place, so I can have something yummy. It's nice for a change of pace! That's my story anyway & I'm sticking to it! :-). They need to have those little smiley face icons on blogs, like they have in mail programs! I'm pushing it now, aren't I? It's amazing how all these buildings are connected - some just with hallways and the actual buildings connect others with walkways over the street or tunnels underneath it. I guess it's important here in the winter, living in South Florida, you tend not to think about that type of thing.

Well, there's someone playing the piano, I think this was just an impromptu thing, he appears to just be someone who was sitting in the lobby, but he plays beautifully! There goes someone with a service dog. It looks like Jolly, only a little be lighter color coat! He was wearing a blue vest, can't remember but seems like that's what they wear when they're in training? I'll have to check into that.

Today is a pretty nice day so far, although supposedly it's 17 degrees, but it doesn't feel like it. They have had all sorts of snow warnings, but we haven't had any in several days, even then it was just light flurries. Cleveland seems to be like Florida - if you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes and it will change!

I didn't sleep well last night, seems like I woke up hourly, not really sure what that was about. Surprisingly I don't feel tired from a night of disturbed sleep, so that's a good thing! Wednesday is my second gamma knife treatment. The first one was rather successful, all four tumors shrunk! A new one has appeared, which doesn't sound like it's that unusual, in fact it sounds like it's rather common to have multiple new ones appear - so this is another good thing! Plus, this time it will be very easy to take care of the pin sites, because there's no hair in the way!

Well, I think I'm going to have to sign off now, there's a burrito call ing my name! Talk to you all soon!
