Chocolate Therapy

Today I had a very late radiation appointment - 3pm.  My schedule indicated "SIM" on it and I wasn't quite sure what to expect.  The last time my schedule said "SIM" I believe was the time I had my hands over my head for like 45 minutes.  I wasn't super-excited to repeat that.

But this time, when I arrived Courtney told me she had brought treats and that after the SIM was over I could have them.  What?! Super-cool! Courtney totally knows what motivates this woman.  Plus, it turns out the SIM was a lot quicker and much easier than last time.  There was a series of x-rays taken and my arms did fall nasty asleep, but not nasty-nasty asleep.  After it was finished, Dr. Wilson came in to see that everything in the x-rays lined up okay and he actually said to me, "It couldn't have been more perfect."  That's pretty awesome  Then, he looked at my skin and said it continued to look really good and asked me what my secret was. I told him it was the prayers from all of you.

Then, it was all done and Courtney came in with these delicious desserts from Outpost.  I can't believe Courtney remembered this, but it must have been early on in my treatments that I was telling them about this delicious dessert Matt and I had at the hospital Bistro at one of my first Chemo treatments and how they never have it there anymore.  The Bistro gets their desserts from Outpost and Courtney had said that the next time she bikes past it she would check for it.  She wasn't sure which dessert it would be, so she brought back two of them for me to try. How nice!!!!

While I am not certain that what Matt and I had all those months ago was one of these desserts, I do know that they were really good.  And, somewhat (kind of) healthy-ish.  I mean, they were made with organic ingredients, anyway.  :-)

Thanks Courtney!  That really made my day!!!!
