A Five-Week Vacation

C hemo? Check. Mastectomy? Check. Radiation. . .

What would you call this: five weeks away from cooking and cleaning;

away from packing lunches and helping with homework; away from all of

the humdrum duties of running a household. A vacation? Yeah, that’s how

I chose to see it when I began my radiation therapy in late February. I was

“zapped” every weekday for five weeks. Since the nearest hospital that offers

this treatment was more than 200 miles away, I was forced to leave my small

town and move to the city for the duration of my treatments. I wondered,

Whatever shall I do with myself for the next five weeks without my loveable kiddies

and furry critter? (I would still see them on the weekends.) Here’s what I was

thinking:

● take up yoga

● go to the movies

● dine out at nice restaurants

● visit a spa

● hang out at my favorite bookstore

● shop for some new workout clothes

● walk in the park

● visit a museum

● go to the flea market

● take in a dinner theater

I figured that would take care of the first week at least.
