Mission Accomplished: Appointments Complete
Let me tell you about my day:
8:00 - 9:00 am: I rustled my boys out of bed to get to the coffee shop because I had no coffee at home; then, I picked up four other boys (my turn for camp carpool) and got all six boys to camp.
9:45 - 12:45 pm: I arrived at the first physician’s office building then waited almost two hours to be called for my 10:30 am appointment; I finally was called, then saw the nurse practitioner, my medical oncologist and a phlebotomist.
1:00 pm - 1:30 pm: I arrived at the second physician’s office building and waited less than fifteen minutes to be called for my 1:30 appointment; I was seen by my gynecological oncologist’s nurse practitioner.
1:50 - 2:45 pm: I shopped at Costco to stock up on some supplies for our upcoming vacation; I considered all the samples they were giving out lunch and wished I had a nice cold Diet Coke to go with them.
3:00 - 3:45 pm: I got a pedicure; it was during this pedicure that I lost the bad mood I found myself in most of the day.
4:00 - 8:00 pm: I picked up all six boys from camp, brought them to their respective homes, met up with my father who returned my daughter to me, I fed and bathed my kids, then put them to bed.
Now, I finally get to sit at my computer and find myself composing this post.
The aforementioned bad mood? It is just so depressing to spend so many hours in oncology waiting rooms. The only thing that kept me from feeling horribly sorry for myself was the book I chose to bring with me, this month’s Breast Cancer Book Club Selection: The Department of Lost and Found.
I’m almost done with the book … are you?

At least it sounds like everything went well at your appointments. And rest assured that you are certainly not the only blogger whose posting frequency has dropped due to the summer schedule-I have to count myself into that group, too
