Treatment update.

On Wednesday Gerry had his out patient procedure where radioactive seeds were implanted into his prostate.   He had finished the five weeks of radiation treatments three weeks previously.

A friend has a  house five miles from University Hospital that is vacant.  We stayed overnight there, then got up at 5 a.m to be at the hospital at 6:30 a.m.  By 3:30 p.m. we were on our way home. Everything went smoothly, although we were both beat by the end of the day.  Gerry is very confident with the doctor he has chosen.

The weather was extremely windy that day.  When we arrived home there was no electricity.  We drove 5 miles to a neighboring town were we had dinner.  Not knowing if the electricity problem was resolved, we spent a couple hours at the library.  All was well at 8:30 p.m. when we arrived home.

This is the before picture.  Sorry, Gerry I just had to include it because you are make such a fashion statement with the matching hat and gown.  In case you haven't guessed, Gerry's attitude has been very upbeat throughout all of this.  It has barely slowed him down.
