Driving in the rain is hard enough when you can see the roads, but it's worse when it's 6 AM, pitch-black, pouring cats and dogs, and you're a woman of a certain age wearing multi-focal contacts, driving a rental car on unfamiliar roads. I might have freaked out my sister and brother by almost driving into a ditch, but at least I didn't smash up the car or throw my brother head first into the dash with my sudden braking. We managed to get to the hospital in one piece and guess what? The University of Minnesota Hospital offers valet parking! How cool is that?
It's not like we were doing anything else this morning except sleeping. My brother needed a ride to the hospital for another infusion visit. This morning's visit involved a lot of scans and lab first, and since I came to town to visit him, accompanying my brother to the hospital seemed like the right thing to do. I was under the impression he has stage 4 lung cancer but the hospital says no, it is soft tissue sarcoma that has traveled to his lungs. Travel is what you do when you hop the Greyhound to Denver.
