Airehead Posted March 5, 2019 Share #6 Posted March 5, 2019 Drive safe. Will be thinking of you-you should refrain from stabbing anyone and wear pants. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get there in about an hour, the problem is movement of any kind is very difficult with those lesions on the part of her brain that control balance. I’ll carry a bucket in the car. It won’t be the first time driving in Pittsburgh traffic with her throwing up the whole way. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted March 5, 2019 Author Popular Post Share #15 Posted March 5, 2019 We made it and on time. Northbound I-79 had a five mile traffic jam, we were southbound and no delay. The James Street parking garage was almost full. While circling looking for a parking spot we saw a door with a sign “cancer patients enter here”. I stopped in front of the door and went in and got a wheelchair and got my wife inside then I went and parked. It turns out radiation oncology is snot in the cancer center but in the main hospital. Three elevators, a bridge, and many long hallways later we arrived at radiation sign in desk exactly on time. I’m in the waiting room now and they have free coffee. I need a beer. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
