Day 1

• People who work with other people (especially dealing with ill people) ought to have compassion.  Not just good manners – but actual compassion. 
• Just because I look sickly does not mean I have no value; it means I’m sick.  (also taught me that not all Texans are friendly – well, she’s probably not from Texas)
• KNOW YOUR INSURANCE PLAN
• Dr. Timmerman was wearing a western shirt and cowboy boots.  Very funny.  He didn’t praise God when I told him of my recent Thanksgiving gift – weird.  I thought he was a Christian.  Maybe not.  
• My radiation therapists are Jason and Barb.  Barb has beautiful eyebrows – like Brooke Shields in Blue Lagoon.  Jason’s wife used to be a teacher before she got to stay home with kids last year.  Lucky lady. 
• Stella – head Cyberknife guru – wants me to pray for her to have a husband.  And, she is a believer – talked about Satan trying to steal our day!  Amen, Sister!
• Didn’t encounter any patients to encourage today, but I’m on the lookout!
• Radiation was a short 20 minutes – didn’t even get halfway done with my intended prayers for that time before it was over. 
• Killer head/skull ache because my mask was squishing me so much and bolted down so tight. 
• PEE BEFORE RADIOSURGERY!
