Susan, you..."Too busy to be a patient..." Susan, you are something else.<br /><br />I announced "Oh S**t!" at the Farmer's Market last Saturday because I'd forgot my shopping list. J said no one heard me, but I saw a few heads turn. I need to get out more, too.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110153203470551170.post-17466160367421918052009-11-17T11:28:48.469-08:002009-11-17T11:28:48.469-08:00Margaret, Yea - too busy to be a patient and too b...Margaret, Yea - too busy to be a patient and too busy period.<br /><br />Mari, Now that I've been a City of Hope patient for nearly 3 years, I find that I hate little changes. The big plush comfy chairs in the hematology clinic waiting area were replaced with hard-backed chairs. That's a shame because I've witnessed many a weary post-chemo or post-transplant patient taking a snooze on those chairs.<br /><br />And they've removed the comfy couch that was halfway between the clinic and the coffee stand. On bad days, I would count my steps knowing that I could collapse on that couch.<br /><br />I recommended that my friend Brad's widow visit your blog. I know it's an overwhelming time for her now and it's probably too much for her to visit, but I will gently remind her again in a few weeks.Susan Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178330935523896363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110153203470551170.post-88726140282424219432009-11-17T09:52:01.445-08:002009-11-17T09:52:01.445-08:00very funny, how is city of hope these day, it'...very funny, how is city of hope these day, it's been months since i last saw that place.... and that magnificent tree next to the parking lot, i often think of that tree and the rose garden where i've walked many times, wiping my tears away... sorry didn't mean to make it a sad comment. hope you're doing well :)Mari Mansourianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003885344370531557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110153203470551170.post-76848380628843664692009-11-17T08:26:55.309-08:002009-11-17T08:26:55.309-08:00Too funny.
