More Stuff

Well a couple of more days & some good weather.  Was 70 on Thursday, and cloudy but 60 on Friday.  Treatment #8 under my belt now only 37 to go.  I get my treatment in the stationary proton blaster.  They have to position me in the pod, unlike the gantry rooms (1 -3) where the proton blaster moves on a 90 ton gantry & you are stationary.  The pod goes up in the air about 6 ft & they shift my body at an angle depending on which side they are shooting.  The treatment is done on opposite sides each day as to give the healthy cells effected a chance to recover. 

Went for a drive to San Bernadino Nat'l Forrest out on hwy 38 on thrusday.  About 35 miles to to top of the Mtns. Quite impressive, lots of snow up there & the road is quite curvey & there was lots of traffic.  See pictures below. 

Went for a couple of short hikes (again to much exercise around here).  Then back to town for my treatment @ 5pm.  Then off to the Thusday night "Restaurant Tour" with the cancerous group of patients from Loma Linda.  Afraid I am going to catch something!  It was an all you can eat sushi placce.  Quite good actually but not of the caliber of the Oshi martini & sushi bar in Sandpoint.

Friday was my computer stuff, workout at the gym, & shopping!  Two things I have been doing to much of down here is the shopping & exercise!  Went to the Barnes & Noble, which is always a mistake for me.  Another BBQ cookbook, among several other books.  The Planet BBQ.  BBQ stuff from all over the world, looks like some great stuff to cook. 

No plans for today but did buy a book about hiking the Inland Empire (what they call the area east of LA). Hopefully I'll calm down & think about that prior to just going off for more exercise!
