If You’re Not Early, You’re Late.

Brain cancer is...

...punctual.

In our enthusiastic “cancer eradication” mode, we arrived at Dr. Park’s office more than an hour early. Oops.  We began our daily walk there around the St. Jude Cancer Center, and Dr. Park was able to see Darrell 30 minutes early.

With us, Dr. Park celebrated both the radiologist’s reading of this week’s MRI and Darrell’s great progress.  He scheduled the next MRI, then sent us on our way.  Yahoo!

Dr. Park's visit is good news in the larger view (of course) and also in the close-up view because this is the point in the cancer eradication efforts where our energy start to flag a bit, and we give up the notion of sprinting across the finish line.  Lots of emotion and energy, but just one more appointment.

There are worse problems to have, right?

To end the day's post on an upbeat, today we learned a couple more "Live Life Like You're on Vacation" lessons, Lessons 2 and 3.  

Live Life Like You’re on Vacation Lesson 2

Check out the public art.

With our extra minutes spent walking at the Cancer Center this morning, we appreciated the above sculpture.  If you were to climb the pedestal, put your back against the sculpture, and face the camera, you'd see the parrot mosaic (click here for a reminder from 2016).  Despite 29 months at the Center, we didn't appreciate the sculpture until today.  Thanks, vacation eyes!

Live Life Like You’re on Vacation Lesson 3

Use nice hand towels.

All of the restrooms--sorry, Washrooms--on our Silver Shadow ship supplied white hand towels.  No paper towels.  Welcome to the SS Guillaume.  If you visit the washroom, do use the towels.

Happy Friday, Team D!
