This morning I woke early and lay in bed.  Images of sick people sitting in the familiar medical waiting rooms floated in my mind.  Yes, I now understand that I have become one of them.  At first, they scare me, looking sick and broken and silent. I thought I was special and anyone could see I was not one of them.  It is a relief to finally acknowledge that I am not so special after all.

Strong gusts of wind and waves of rain move through this dark morning. I am surprised to hear two fearless airplanes travel close over my house.

I am engrossed in the medical series NEW AMSTERDAM. I think about the stories and find characters to identify with. Last night’s episode explored cancer and cancer treatments. Just what I am interested in. My next series of treatments start in ten days.

I did start back hand sewing on my quilt yesterday afternoon while listening to classical music on the radio.
