Well, we didn't beat the storm on Wednesday afternoon and had a wild and
woolly ride into Halifax. But we arrived safe and sound, and thankfully didn't pass any accidents along the way. I think that drive goes into my top 3 worst drives of all time.

Thursday morning we were up early, and headed downtown for my appointment with the medical oncologist. A few hours later was my first radiation treatment.

We arrived back home yesterday afternoon, to find 1 1/2 feet of new snow, a freshly plowed driveway (p
rearranged before we left), and 2 foot drifts on the pathway to the door.

A short while later, John had the walkway shovelled enough to get in the door and we were snug at home with a fire blazing in the wood stove. It's good to be home.

Today's appointment is not until 5:15 pm, which gives us most of the day at home but cuts into the wild Friday nights we usually have (ha!)
