Perfect 10


Treatment number 10 went very smoothly. It is fun to meet the morning "BOB's", most of which are much farther along in their treatments. It was a pretty lively discussion this morning on the philosophy of the death penalty. Both sides of the spectrum were represented and it was still going on as I was leaving. It is surprising how many of the patients stay around the waiting room long after their treatment. I pretty much burn rubber when mine is complete. They said today that my treatment time will stay at 7:30 a.m. unless they tell me different.

The Proton Experience help desk (aka "Ruth") has figured out how to include pictures so our goal is to take some pictures this week of the treatment areas and post them here. The picture today is the outside deck of our small apartment this morning in Redlands. It is a one bedroom unit, about 800 square feet. The rent is about 2.5 times as you would see in Wenatchee. There are 6 units to a group and my guess is there is about 50 groups of buildings in the compound. We are the only tenant in our 6 plex, makes me wonder why they are raising rents.

We are going to fight through our head colds and play in the patient golf scramble this afternoon. It is supposed to be non-competitive, but I am pretty sure our group won last week.

  • Hey!

    Love the blog! The pictures really take it to the next level. I can't believe you don't want to hang out in the waiting room after your treatment, that's just so unlike you. We're looking forward to seeing you this weekend, we're getting spoiled having you close by! Get better, have some OJ, Piper needs you to be healthy so she can chase you around. Love you, Em

  • If I had any doubts that you are doing well, they were erased by the "pretty sure we won last week" comment. Same old RLowe.

    Still enjoy reading the blog and hearing about the people you encounter. What a rewarding feeling you will have when you revisit your reflections.

    Holiday festivities are in full swing up here. Special video for Manager's Forum this Friday. Then we have a departmental party at Sollom's on Saturday night. We're going to wear grass skirts and dance around his Christmas palm tree. We'll lift a cup of punch in your honor.

  • Hi Randy,

    I was at Wayne's party last night but missed the phone when it was passed around. I'm so happy to hear that you are doing well. I'm a little envious about the golf you played. We've still got the same snow that arrived before you left. I'm thinking about painting some balls black. Does graphite shatter when it's cold? Take care of yourself and get well fast.

  • Hi Randy-

    Sure miss you around here. I bet Piper is ready for Christmas. I hope it's a great one! Relax and enjoy the season with your family.
