It was an excruciatingly painful ride into the city and back for Pete this evening; he was in agony with every bump we went over and every time the car came to a stop, started to move or turned a corner. He has been taking the prescribed pain meds, but they just don't seem to help so he spoke to A earlier today and she agreed to have a prescription for some Toradol tablets waiting for him at the desk in the radiation suite.
It was the normal 2 hour trip in to have a 15 minute radiation treatment and then another 2 hour trip home. The roads were clear until we were about 10 minutes from home. When I called Bruce to tell him we were at the cancer center he said that it had begun snowing shortly after we had left home. It's been so cold the past few days that the ground is frozen and as a result the thin layer of snow resulted in some "black ice" on the roads, particularly on the GSP, so traffic was quite congested and moving very slowly.
Because of the time, traffic and this new prescription, we headed straight to Costco to pick it up before they closed. He'll be returning to the city for radiation treatment #3 and the brain MRI that are both scheduled around 2 PM. His father will be driving him in so I won't be going. I'm glad he'll be able to take this new pain medication, an anti-inflammatory drug, so that he'll hopefully experience a lot less discomfort during tomorrow's trip.
