This week is fast coming to an end, I am so grateful for my job at Maui Diagnostic Imaging (MDI). My MDI family has been nothing but supportive since the “Unsub” was discovered. Everyone is respecting my privacy, but I do not mind talking to my coworkers about it, the “C” word is not voodoo! I love my job here on Maui, and I am sharing my story with some patients. I have to be careful though as I only have 15 minute time slots with patients. I have been working for MDI for 13 months now, so I am now to the point where I am doing mammograms on patients that I imaged last year. The patients are excited to see that I am still at MDI, they ask me if I have enjoyed my first year on Maui? What am I supposed to say? I share my story, I had one patient get emotional, she asked me if she could give me a hug? I never had someone ask for permission to hug me! When we hugged, she told me that I had good energy and that I would be fine.
I am looking forward to this weekend, I will paddle out Saturday morning with the “Pink Paddlers”. Not sure what I will do the rest of the weekend. Perhaps I will just go play tourist, and walk around the resorts and enjoy the beauty of Maui!
Next week will be a short work week for me as I go to Oahu for two days to meet the whole team that will be involved in my care. Not sure if Chemo will start next week, however I know it will start real soon, this is the “Calm Before the Storm.”
