LongTermSurvivor ~ On The Road Again....Homeward Bound
Basically Pat has a wake-up, his last rad session and then his butt is on the road again, and homeward bound....
Hoping the morning flies by, and the trip home greets you with a huge puddin face....
I know your butt isn't getting any sleep tonight, but wanted to give you a shout out.
Best,
John

you are right as usual
Already been to sleep, for about an hour. Sigh. Steroids and me have lots of energy. For lack of a better preoccupation, I was sitting here calculating hours under the mask. 69 sessions, at 20 minutes per session. That's over 20 hours of life, let alone travel time, to accomplish. Add to that the HBO sessions....
Heck, its still a bargain.
Jokes aside for a moment, I've wondered at the fact this long distance treatment has seemed to make me a little unique. Heck, not all of America lives within close proximity to a major treatment center. Where are all those other people who, like me, had to relocate to get treated?
Just wondering. Thanks for the shout-out. I've been stuck here since about October 1. It will be very nice to go home.

Just teasing...
I'm lucky, my treatment center is/was like 10 miles from my house.... But then again, I live in a relatively small town.
Get some sleep warrior....
I'm off to lala land myself.

I'm glad he's going home too! (kidding you Big Fella). Enjoyed our BS sessions. Have a safe trip home and get that boat fired up!
See ya in a couple of months.

I had to travel 50 miles each way for treatment. I was under the mask 45 min a time for 7 1/2 weeks. I have worked for a nursing agency for many years, thus I traveled around my state and those close by doing health clinics. I get what you are talking about. You've accomplished an amazing thing most of us haven't had to face.
Happy for You!

I hear it's getting close to planting time in your neck of the woods, snow storm here in Chicago tonight. Wishing you fast and healthful healing. Love those 'wake-ups'.0 -

My treatments were done about 80 miles from my home. With 7 weeks of treatment I got super lucky and a good friend of mine took me into her home to live with she and her husband. I had my own bedroom and bathroom where I could puke in private....lol
I missed my home and pets but am grateful to not have to drive the 160 miles round trip 5 days a week. I think it helped me that I could just concentrate on getting well.
The day I came home was glorious but kind of scary....I look back on it now and it seems hard to believe it even all happened.
Happy Healing and take care0 -

You have been so informative for so many of us...your advice has seen us through some difficult challenges. NOW, you get to finish your challenge and recuperate in comfortable/familiar surroundings. Best of luck...way to go!0 -

Suffering at home is much preferred! We were transplanted in Rochester, MN this time last year at 20 below for three months. Felt like we were deployed at war. Hmmmm...guess we were!
So glad you're home...let the healing continue!0 -
