Yevette said the weather is just about perfect for her and the best is kept for last since it will keep warming through the weekend.
There are no Pollyannas on this bus and it's understood nothing is ever over but logic and available evidence indicate a good outcome.
I can bring a bit of ebullience to the waiting room for radiation treatment since I've been feeling it and, more importantly, seeing it in Yevette that this is the last week and now there's only one day left of the treatment.
Note: whether I'm bringing a bit of ebullience or being a fuckin' ball of sunshine doesn't make any difference in Rockhouse English in which both mean the same thing.
A couple was waiting and Yevette was already in the back for treatment by the time I got the car parked. You don't spend much time sitting about over there and I'm ceaselessly amazed by the attentiveness of The Center's staff.
I talked a bit with the couple and told them my friend is deep into the treatment but just about done. The wife told me some of her history and I said, "I know you're not rolling over for this. I can see it in your eyes."
Big smiles from both of them so I knew I got that one right.
I said to the husband, "You learn a lot about caregiving from this."
He smiled big and said, "Oh, yeah."
His wife was smiling too and she reached over to squeeze his leg as she told him, "You've been great."
Big smiles all 'round.
That got quiet for a little while and Linda came waltzing through there as she does have a way like that. She is the most abundantly cheerful nurse on the staff and she's also young and beautiful. I told her, "When they talk about cheerfulness being infectious, you're the one they meant."
She liked that one so the Silas was on a roll at that point.
Ed: you're bold with this young lovely
Why not since she can see I'm not trying to hit on her. Old men can do that, well, so long as we're not being creeps.
The big win came at the end when Yevette came out from the back and she said before anything else, "Only one more day."
Yep, she has definitely got this.
The rides there and back are difficult for her but I don't want to go into the detail since you know this is tough stuff. One which isn't a problem to reveal is bumps in the road are a nightmare for her as is g-force in a turn. I can't fix the bumps but I can do something about g-force since I do smooth fairly well. In my experience, smooth was the fastest on the track and the same driving style applies for low speed, I just don't need as much of it.
Side-note: I'm told qualification as a professional Rolls Royce driver requires the ability to control the vehicle with an egg attached to the brake and perhaps the accelerator pedal as well so pressing too hard will break it. Cut. You're fired. (Unknown if that's true but I've heard it)
Ed: so you drive an old Buick like it's a Rolls?
Improv, man ... it's the soul of jazz.
Granny from "Outlaw Josey Wales:" one more turnaround and those bumps won't mean doodlysquat
You've got that right, Granny.
