1/22/20 In Hawaii

Right now this is my view. 
We left Tampa on January 21 at about 4:30am EST arrived in Hawaii 3:00pm HST or 8:00pm Tampa time. Yea about 15 hours in a plane. Then 4 hours later we arrived at our hotel. LONG DAY.  We went right to bed when we got to our room about 8:30 Hawaiian time or very late Tampa time. We
Arriving at our hotel
got a good 8 hours of sleep and woke up refreshed and ready to go at 4:30 in the morning. My circadian rhythm is gonna be so messed up after this trip.
We are staying at the Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo. Very nice hotel and the guy checking us in gave made sure our rooms were next to each other and gave us extra cookies.
This section of the plane went hungry
Like I said earlier the flight from Tampa to Hawaii was a long one. The first part of the flight was uneventful.  The second half was not too bad except that the airline ran out of food about two thirds of the way through the plane. Actually they ran out right when they got to me.  Fortunately Jan had suggested that I bring some snacks on the plane so I had something to eat. Not the healthiest of dinners but it did keep the sides of my stomach from rubbing together.  
If it wasn't for the fact that we would be ending this flight in Hawaii I would have been more upset than I was.

Radiation Therapy

Dr. Galloway and the gang over at West Florida Radiation Therapy have developed a very efficient process of treating their patients. I arrive about 5 minutes before my scheduled treatment time. The waiting room is often empty in spite of having plenty of chairs. I have my temperature taken and wash my hands. Then within a minute or two I will have my name called. As I'm going back to the treatment room there is usually another guy just coming out of that room.  When the technicians are ready they call me in and I climb onto the treatment table. After I'm on the table my feet and legs are aligned using a hard pillow that is molded to my legs and feet. Then the table is moved into position and the technicians adjust me using lasers and my aiming tattoos.  The techs then leave the room and the machines take over. First two arm move into position to x-ray me to determine the position of my prostate. The table will make slight adjustments itself to move me into the best position. A...

Trip to Evansville In.

  For the past week or so Jan and I have been visiting her dad and sister in Evansville In. Or as Art calls it Heavinsville. We came up originally to help Mary with her house. She is painting and carpeting several rooms. Because of Covid Jan's dad Art has moved from his apartment into Mary's house. We came down to help Art while he stayed with us at a hotel and the house got recarpeted.  Well that all went sideways first day at the hotel. Art who is 96 started feeling poorly and eventually it was decided to call an ambulance to transport him to the emergency room for, as my daughter calls it a little heart tune-up. It was quite an adventure having a firetruck and ambulance arrive at our hotel and all crowd into our room.  At the hospital because of Covid only one other person was allowed in and it was decided that Jan would stay and I would head back to Mary's house. Now a funny story of events before the ambulance arrived. I had gone to take a rest in our hotel room whil...
