Well shoot! The radiation treatment was put off yesterday because the programmer didn't realize Glenda's length or how low the wound was, anyway they couldn't do it as programmed. They have got to program putting Glenda in the other end of the machine. That put us off till today at 2:15. We did not appreciate the delay one damn bit. We're told by all we read and by the doctors that sooner is better but all we get is hurry and wait, hurry and wait. I do believe that prayers and faith are necessities but the hospitals and their staffs are sure messing around with our faith in their end of it!

From the get-go we've had problems that shouldn't be. There should always be two people in the interviews and to listen what is next because the next place you stop they don't know or haven't received the information needed. We have had to orchestrate the next process several times. When you've handed your life to another this is a hard obstacle to fluff off! Even with that our hopes are still high that with their help and all of the prayers we shall overcome. The screw ups just don't make it as easy as it could be! They are as unbelievable as well as the doubt they cause!

We're sure, because of the vast amount of people they care for, it is almost impossible not to have problems which brings us back to the worry about the necessary time being spent on our problem and the need to hope that our's isn't confused with someone else's. If you had been with us unbelievable would be your word too.

So now that I have vented.......................I think I'm too tired to say any more!
