You wouldn't believe how long it has taken to try and set up this blog. Today has been week 2 at trying. I think we did it finally!
In summary of the past 3 weeks here, Steve had his doctors consultation, his CT and made is pod in which he lays to get his radiation treatments. Due to the influx of patients coming here our start date changed from November 4 to November 18, which happens to be Steve's birthday. What a great way to start a new life!

We arrived on October 26th to a temporary house. Since then it took us a week to set up house after which we decided to visit the area since we had time. So far we have visited the San Diego Temple, the Los Angeles Temple, Lake Arrowhead, and Palm Springs. Last night, the 14th, we went to "Thanksharing" at the Seventh Day Adventist Church which is a community-wide worship service celbrating God's goodness, admission with non-perishable food items. It was a great musical night!. Tonight we will go the the San Bernadino Symphony (free bec of LLUM) with Carlo Ponti Jr. as the conductor. We are looking forward to another great night.
On a regular basis we have a Tuesday potluck support get together, a Wednesday night Radiation Medicine Support Group with Dr. Lynn Martell leading the evening and a regular Thursday night restaurant tour featuring a different eating establishment each week. Of course we also have the great workout club, Drayson Center, we go to 3-4 times a week. We hope to get into better shape.
The goal here is to make the person whole; physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Everyone here is great. We haven't met anyone who wasn't nice and helpful. It's a great atmosphere for healing.

With old age, goes the eyesight too!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are "enjoying" sunny California in spite of the reason you are there.
Seems the "side affects" aren't as bad as I had thought they would be, haha.
Luv and miss you (especially Mary at TCGS)

Thanks for the blow by blow. I may need it someday.
