It was a pleasure - kind of

Well, this morning was my last radiation treatment. What a great feeling to now have that in the past. In a previous post I showed you these beautiful bird of paradise from the lobby of North Florida Radiation Oncology so I thought I'd put up a couple more. I'm bringing up the cancer center again because I want to share with you just how wonderful these people are. I can't remember ever being in a medical facility that made me feel so cared for. I want to say a very special thank you to Laurel who took good care of me and kept me company while waiting for treatment. Laughing is always a good thing. Dr. Hayes and Jen Stover, her PA were absolutely outstanding! I just can't say enough good things about them. It's so difficult to go through this kind of diagnosis, surgery and treatment so it means the world to a patient when the doctors and staff can make you feel so calm and comfortable. To go from terrified on the first day to hanging out at the Bella Cafe in the lobby (great coffee by the way, roasted on site) says a lot about a facility. If you or a loved one has to go to NFRO you'll be in good hands.

Tomorrow I'll talk about art stuff,

peace,

Were they trying to make us think it was paradise?

So, here we were in Gainesville at North Florida Radiation Oncology for my appointment and there were bird of paradise everywhere. It was a beautiful facility and there were huge potted plants all over - 9 of them.

My hubby had his phone and of course I had my new little camera with me so we were the weirdos in the lobby shooting pictures like crazy!

Isn't it wonderful when you have something scary you have to do and when it's done, it's not so scary after all? And then suddenly.... you find yourself surrounded by beauty. Take time to enjoy.

Love and peace,
