Road Trips and Chemotherapy

Well we started to head out last week after my Chemo Treatment and everything was going great. We made it through Ohio and just past Elkhart, Ind. I had just taken the CD out of the Deck and was putting it into the Overhead Visor Caddy when it flipped opened and I overcompensated on the curve and ended up in the ditch. Dirt, Grass and Dust flying all over the place.
High Drama over with, the car did not flip over, no major injuries. Minor injuries where: 2 flat tires, a bruised knee and elbow, 1 tow bill for $134 and a night's stay in the local Quality Inn. That is the tally of the situation. needless to day that we did not make it Wisconsin for the Olson Family Reunion and instead opted to return home and relax, until Sunday when Noah came home on the Megabus from Milwaukee.
With damage being minor and our lives safe again. We took stock in the stark realisation that we could have become another Highway Statistic and chages in our immediate lives. I have been thinking about how my Dump Irish Luck kept the situation from getting worse and now it is time to move on with our lives and get things back to as normal as possible with the Chemotherapy and Doctors appointments in between.
This week I see my Family Doctor and the Oncology Radiologist, which will be fun, since I have been diagnosised with lesions on my lungs and the Chemo Treatments are working to stop new occurrances from developing. I see my Family Doctor on Tursday afternoon, with my Chemo Treatment in the morning. Radiologist appointment is on Friday, then more fun next week.
