One of the marvelous lessons I have learned is the breadth and depth of the health care industry. Just my little tiny speck of involvement reveals much more than hospitals, clinics, nurses and doctors. In my case there are those that make special lights, chairs, infusion devices, bags, pumps, hose, compression devices, electrical devices, the list goes on. All of this employment, research and resource aimed at bladder cancer and lymphedema. Each an industry in and of itself. And so it goes with every other body part and the body as a whole. This does nothing for energy independence, defense, or to cloth, shelter or feed us. It is an industry built around the old and feeble among us.
It is still happy face time. Things are going pretty good today as August fades. It’s early on Saturday as I catch up on this among other things. The air is cool, 50’s and dry. Sunrise appears to be a spectacular one in the making. The next few weeks will go quickly with anticipation of the next scan. I will continue to assign little importance to this event, considering it just another step in the process that is so well practiced and delivered by the cancer center.
