I went to the gym today and I ran into Kathy. She is a warm and friendly personality who has also had cancer, and we met when I helped her with her YMCA membership. I was a bit overcome with surprise when she hugged me and gave me a kiss and also held my hand to the locker room. I've spent maybe 20 minutes with Kathy.... TOTAL. This includes the tour of the YMCA a quick sales pitch and then checking her in 4 times. This sounds like an incredibly insensitive reaction towards someone. Is it wrong to not want to hug & kiss someone I hardly know? I've got friends that I've never hugged or kissed.
Derek and I came back from our Colorado vacation on Thursday. It was a lot of fun. We visited friends, took tours in Mesa Verde, hiked up to Hanging Lake, saw Doc Holiday's memorial, sat in the hot springs, went to the Garden of the Gods, and took a cave tour. We did stay at 3 different hotels and 1 of them gave us a free upgrade to a suite. If I had to pick my favorites I would have to select seeing friends, Mesa Verde, and the Hanging Lake. It took more energy than I was expecting to ride in a car and be alert during the daylight hours. Thankfully we were on vacation and it was o.k. to take naps in the middle of the day.
I continue to feel good. My next MRI comes up October 22nd and I find out the results October 27th. Scheduling conflict, go figure.
