I did discover a new display on Netflix to keep me occupied for a while, even though--Medium. I in no way, ever might have concept that i might like that show, due to the fact I don't accept as true with in paranormal stuff. but it's another crime-drama, like CSI or law & Order, handiest the principle man or woman is a suburban-mom-medium (she will be able to talk with the lifeless). I watched one episode and become hooked!
This morning, but, I simply desired to loosen up. I decided i might simply use these days as a rest day, and run my 12-miler the following day. I took a shower and got dressed to head go to Mark at the clinic. i have been going each different day, which seems to work out properly; my dad and mom move on the days that I don't, so that he has someone there every day.
My mother watched the youngsters for me today so that I ought to move up with out them. i finished to choose up Mark's playing cards from the put up office (approximately a hundred more!) and bought him a strawberry milkshake from McDonald's before heading to the sanatorium. Mark became nevertheless at his radiation therapy downstairs, but he came in about 10 minutes when I were given there. He turned into in a absolutely good mood, and really glad to see me (especially when he saw that I added him a milkshake, of direction).
I added a map of america this time, something i would been which means to do for some time, in order that I could show him in which his cards have been coming from. I introduced some star-shaped stickers to stick on each country as we read a card from that nation. I sat and study him all of his playing cards, and by the point i used to be achieved, there had been only a few states that weren't protected! There had been a few playing cards from different nations, too: Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and England.
As I got closer to the cease of the bunch, Mark turned into preventing to live awake. They commonly give him morphine right after his treatment, which makes him truely drowsy. So I got his CD participant set up for him to concentrate to, and that i went domestic. He didn't appear to be in a number of pain nowadays, so it was a pleasant visit!
I left the health center at around 1:30, and i found out later than at four:30, they moved Mark to a nursing domestic. no one had any concept they had been discharging him these days! he will be staying at a nursing domestic close to the health center, so that an ambulance can delivery him to and from the medical institution for his radiation remedies. He has six extra treatments, after which with a bit of luck the docs will recognize more approximately where to go from there--possibly hospice care, but his nephew may additionally choose to go with chemotherapy. I just actually hope that he is handled properly at the nursing domestic. My mother and father are going to go to him the following day, so they may see how he is doing.
on the way domestic, i used to be considering how I have to simply do my long run these days, so that I ought to loosen up all day the following day. once I picked up the children from my mother's residence and got here home, it changed into three:00; I rarely run in the afternoons, however I desired to observe Medium, so I figured i would as nicely get my run accomplished at the same time as I watched.
I set the rate and six.5 mph and did not touch it until I hit 12 miles. It felt like for all time! I saved wondering, "perhaps i'll just cease at 8 miles..." however I knew i might be mad at myself if I cut it brief for no "actual" reason. I got through two and a half of episodes of Medium, and as soon as I hit 12 miles, i ended the treadmill. i was so satisfied to be finished!
strolling for nearly two hours just seems form of loopy, does not it? once I consider 12 miles, it simply does not seem extraordinarily lengthy; but once I consider it in time, it seems like an eternity. I felt absolutely accurate while i was accomplished, even though, and i am satisfied I did it these days. I definitely wish i am capable of run out of doors subsequent Friday, but the youngsters are off faculty all week, so i'm now not sure if it's going to training session.
when I got off the treadmill, i was ravenous. I had eaten breakfast, but i used to be on the hospital all through lunch time, and all I had turned into multiple pieces of sweet from Mark. I heated up some leftover lasagna for dinner, due to the fact I wasn't within the temper to cook dinner. It become handiest 5:00, but I modified into my most comfortable pajamas and plopped on the couch.
No plans tomorrow, so i am hoping to have a pretty low-key day!
