If
Today’s Experience Was Given a Grade: D-
First day jitters or bad luck or whatever, we had a rough
morning. After being told that ‘not
everyone gets nausea on this chemo pill’ we proved that a lot of folks still
do. Patti was game but she just could
not be confined into the claustrophobic mask while feeling like she did. The staff at the radiation oncologist was as
helpful as possible, but it finally took three hours and an injection to decide
the treatment would not start today.
Kiley was with us and we think we know how to schedule these powerful
drugs better.
Since last we wrote, things have been quite good. Patti has had several visitors including the
Owings’, her cousin Betsy and a host of Connolly sisters from Augusta who bring
such mirth they should bottle it. Good
wine has been enjoyed; free food and flowers galore are still showing up. If you are interested, it’s the cards that make
Patti really smile.

The photos here show Patti in her eventual radiation position. The big grey machine in the background does
the work. Also we have a picture from last Friday night providing photographic
evidence that friends can make anyone forget their troubles for awhile!
Well, whew! Today is my first day joining on and really hearing what more than one wonderful person is going through! Patti, I know Tom and your children, many family members and many friends who love you have just been hit in the gut with a fist! As for you, from what I hear about you, you'll be looking after them all. I will be constantly praying,loving and holding you in my heart. I want us to meet when you all are in town and the time is right for you, Patti. You have part ownership lol is horses, a donkey and many dogs here you know! We are sort of kinfolk! God Bless, CARROLL MAGILL WELLMAN "Oby" I figure Patti should know my mother didn't name me Oby. My siblings made it up for baby and I likee it! I didn't want a sissy name.
