A Little E1 Update

Grandpa (E1) has now finished 14 radiation treatments . . . only 30 more to go. He's experiencing some side effects, but claims it's nothing he can't handle. You know how those stubborn men are!

The folks at the radiation center are nothing but nice. And very efficient too I might add. We have never had to wait more than 10 minutes. Of course, 10 minutes plus the 15 minutes of radiation time translates to almost a half hour that I have to entertain Peanut in the waiting room. Since everyone has standing appointment times and are usually there for a long duration of radiation sessions, we see the same faces every day. We've established sort of a camaraderie and they think it is quite entertaining to watch me chase Peanut around, trying to prevent his path of destruction.

Grandpa is not only hanging tough with treatment, but also hanging tough in our House of Chaos. That might just be a bigger accomplishment.
