Why?

Can somebody please tell me why in the world Doctor's have you make appointments? Cause I just got back to my office about 20 minutes ago. It was after 2 o'clock. Richard's appointment was at 11:40. Yes 11:40! I mean why not just tell the patients to just show up when you can cause you're gonna have to wait a while.

I walked over to Kirklin Clinic to be with him cause I knew he was a little anxious. (Okay a lot anxious but don't tell him I told ya) Anyways we sat and waited and sat and waited some more. I mean 2 hours past the appointment time is just ridiculous. And then when we finally get into a room the Doctor comes in and talks looks at his watch and says I've got to hurry and get you over to the infusion lab cause they don't like to stay late. Excuse me? Did I hear you correctly? (bite tongue)

He did however answer all of our questions. So Richard is over there now getting his first infusion. He will do 3 of these treatments all together. One a week every other week. Then he will have another scan to see if the tumors are showing any shrinkage. Also Doc is sending him for a scan the end of this week to see exactly where we are starting at as far as the growth goes. Especially since Richard hasn't had a scan or any treatment of any kind in 2 months it will also give us an idea of how fast it is progressing. (this makes me nervous)

Other than the past 3 hours my day has been pretty good. We had a great weekend. Saturday we got up early and went and got all of the School supplies the boys had to have. Except a 9 inch wire locker shelf. Do these really exist? Cause we went everywhere and all we could find was 12 inches.

Anywho afterwards we went yard saling. I found the cutest little snowman candle holder. Yes I collect Snowmen for Christmas also I collect salt and pepper shakers but that would be another post. So we go to this yard sale and we get back in the car and I turn to Richard and say let's go on out this way and see what else we can find. Ok he says. It was a beautiful day so we had the windows down radio going just enjoying the drive. And I was sure that the road we were on ended at the highway. Boy was I worng so we kept on going then we came to a crossroads. Richard said turn left. Of course I did. There was an old timey General Store so we pulled in and Richard asked directions. We were in Arkadelphia Alabama. Neither one of us had ever heard of this place. Although it was very nice there. Anyways the lady told us to go out and take a right and that would lead us to the interstate. It did. We were way up in North Alabama about 40 miles from home.

We got lost alright but we had a good time doing it.
