Unexpected Travel


September 29th

I’m busy packing to take a trip I never had personally planned or even thought about taking in my life or even imagined.   But it’s a trip I need to take nonetheless. If the medical treatment I receive during this trip is successful then there will be a much better chance I’ll have more trips in my future I’ll be able to look forward to. 
While I am on this trip I decided to attempt to keep a journal.  If you read the first post by my daughter Ann, she explained what caused me to take this journey.  You will also see that she is a real writer.   Her mom, on the other hand, is not.  So I ask for your mercy when it comes to my writing skills.  :)
I am scheduled to be at the Colorado Blood Cancer Institute, CBCI, in Denver CO, on Thursday, October 4th at 8:30 a.m.   Matt and I decided to drive there instead of flying.  This way we would not need to rent a car as my stay in Denver could last as long as two months.  Plus my insurance did not cover car rental and it’s pretty pricey when you rent a car for a month or two.  The other pro of driving instead of flying was I was able to stop and see my son, John and my daughter n law, Lindsay, on the way out. 
The trip to Denver will take 2 days of driving.  After packing up the car and tying up loose ends in the house we left today, Saturday, around noon (our originally plan was to leave at 8:00 a.m. lol) to head up to Sacramento so we could spend the weekend with John and then planned to leave his house on Tuesday morning to get to Denver by Wednesday afternoon. We arrived at John’s around 6:30 p.m.  Lindsay made us a nice dinner, spent some time catching up with them and then called it a night.
