#93 Don't Like The Timing of Don's Birthday

Don
​
​
Don was a cute birthday cowboy years ago.  He was also a a fine cowboy-chemo- buddy yesterday.

But today is Don's birthday and I wish the timing was better for celebrating.  Don deserves some festive focus today, but our big outing was about my trip to the hospital to get my Nuelasta shot.

Shot Time
​
​
Actually our trip to the office was pleasant. It was right after the office lunch break and all was peaceful. Freenea gave me my shot and I didn't feel it. Lala, who had missed my bell ringing after chemo yesterday, came out and insisted we dance and ring a bit. 

I even got to sneak some little gifts to some of the nurses and staff who have been so kind.

Then, I realized it was Don's birthday and he should have been in the photo.  It's his day to have some attention.  I mentioned that he was the birthday boy and suddenly he got some love. It was nice to hear staff rave about how supportive and fun he has been at every appointment, chemo and otherwise.  They've seen him playing his support role, more than most anyone. I was so glad for him to get the spotlight for a change.

Parking Garage
​
​
Next we got to spend some time in the parking garage as witnesses to a couple car scrapes.  
Picture
Some woman in a gigantic truck scraped one car, then proceeded to scrape another, before heading into the hospital. Don had to do his birthday civic  duty, talking to security and police, while our carry outs at Thai Cottage got cold.

And then I started to get all worried about this woman in the truck, who ignored the damage she'd done.  Was she distraught or in a daze?  Who knows why she was heading in the hospital.  Now I'm worried about her!
​
Home
​
​
But we made it home without any scrapes and luckily my chemo blahs haven't kicked in yet.  We worked on the puzzle.  And we'll play ukuleles later.  (Don loves both)

 Then there are some presents to open and some cake, hiding in the refrigerator.  I'm just glad for the focus to be on this sweet guy for a while. He's been doing nothing but looking after me.  It's his turn!

    Cancer, Covid
    & Coronary...


    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done.

    On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021.

    CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C".

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent!  I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post!

    ​Navigating This Mess!

    The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016.
