Spent the day scraping, caulking and painting exterior windows and garage door. Getting close to having everything with at least a primer coat and one finish coat. Second finish coat may wait til spring depending on what the weather does. Still have the storm windows to do but they are in the basement and I can do them inside before taking out. Bet is away for the weekend with her Edward Johnson friends. Four of them went to Prince Edward County to visit a few wineries and a couple of neat restaurants we found when we were there in July.
Started to rain so I took advantage of the quiet and did the body scan Bet has been doing for her mindfulness course. I find the more I do it the better I am at it. I still have some issues in keeping my mind from wandering however I find it does relax me. Going to have dinner with friends this evening, looking forward to it.
This will be my 4th post and I am finding it easier to write, even though in re-reading it seems a bit scattered but it will get better I presume. I just realized that I don't think I mentioned the prostate support group meeting I went to the other evening. They were having a guest speaker, one of the radiation oncologists from Grand River Cancer Centre, so I thought I would go. A large turnout, I was the youngest in the room by at least 5 years and considering I was diagnosed 6 years ago I was definitely the exception in the crowd. Only 1 other individual had received brachytherapy and so far his results are still positive. It was interesting to hear the doctor speak about his preferences and brachytherapy definitely ranks low on his list. I sat beside an old friend who had surgery about 4 years ago and has had followup radiation and is now on hormones. He quite likes this doctor but perhaps because of his attitude in the public meeting I found that I was quite defensive.
