I got a place yesterday. I can't say I'm as excited as I thought I'd be, but at least the worry is gone. I feel like that perfect place I had been waiting for didn't come my way. The place I found is very small and not very bright but it is clean and in an excellent location, False Creek. I love the idea of being basically right on the seawall. I can go for runs, and it's about a 10 minute walk from Granville Island. I'm sure once the move is over and I make it my own it will feel like the fresh start I'm ready for. Another bonus is that one of Kadir's friends from school lives in that area, so he'll have someone to travel to and from school with.
Perhaps adding to my lack of excitement was this morning. I had my first follow-up CT scan this morning. I had to wake up at 7 am and drink that disgusting liquid to prepare. When I arrived at the Cancer Agency at 8:30 everybody seemed low energy and not as friendly as usual (maybe the weathers effects). The nurse I had was very down to business. She had trouble finding a vein to use on my right arm, so she switched to the left. Once she got the needle in she was changing the tube and didn't fasten it tight enough so as I looked down at my arm I saw blood squirting out. She assured me, "don't worry it's in there" as she hustled to tighten the vessel. But I was worried. After she fixed the problem I still felt the needle was not in properly. It was probably in my head but all through the scan it was stinging my arm. Anyway, it's done...and I'm not worried about the results. I intend to stay cancer-free =)
