It is quite interesting how things are progressing. An event that was life changing and life threatening 2 months ago has now drifted into what might best be described as "background noise today.
I'm a week past my second chemo and life is still humming along, albeit at a slightly slower pace.
My next and perhaps final chemo will happen on March 20th and, hopefully, by then I will have received some details on the next step in the cure plan, a course of radiation treatments.
Today a trip to St Michael's Clinic for my (monthly) Avastin injection.
The weather was crazy warm when we left London around 10am. The wind was gusting upwards of 70kph and a collection of "blue boxes" and recycling was drifting, flying and bouncing along the street towards the driveway of some poor bugger at the east end of the street.
The trip was mostly uneventful for us but from what I understand a few transports and trailers were being flipped on various bridges and roadways across the SW section of the province.
Now at almost midnight, my left eye is a little sore from the injection and I am now faced with the prospect of another surgery to correct the retinal detachment that is impacting my left eye.
April 10th is the scheduled date for that but I will have to see if that works with my, as yet, unscheduled radiation schedule.
As bad as eye surgery sounds, it is nothing compared to the royal pain of having to spend the following 24 hours in, essentially a face down position. Any fluid taken from the eye is replaced by an air or oil bubble which places pressure on the back of the eye to facilitate the healing process. Hence the need to be face down. That can be a little tricky, especially when driving!!! I've already been through this once before, so I'm somewhat resigned to my fate.
