| Bill's first Proton Bash Update
Picked up Bill at 7:30 a.m. today and made the run to Boston in Lucky.
Lucky performed like a champ. He only slipped first gear half a dozen times at stop signs until he warmed up. It's sort of interesting to hit the gas, hear and feel the revs go up....nothing happens...then POP! into gear and away we go.
Got into the HOV lane and zipped into the big city with no probs.
Bill was nervous. Haha...I shouldn't laugh but he was so zoned out and on edge. He was pushing the wrong buttons in the elevator on the way in, the static ones next to the real buttons that actually make the lift operate...nerves were a jingling.
We waited for a bit as others had their treatments for various reasons. A little guy about 8 years old was there for treatment. He is apparently a regular and was showing off his Bruins hockey puck that a player signed for him just recently. Bruins sponsored him to a great seats because the guy who works the desk at the proton laser treatment office made a phone call to the right people. There was a beautiful young girl there of about 12 yrs. of age, completely bald reading a Harry Potter book waiting for her session, and various elderly folks there as well.
There are three surgery rooms and they all use the proton blaster at the same time for their various patients with various needs. So you will have 12 or so people waiting at any given time and three are taken at the same time to make use of the laser in three different rooms.
Despite being a nervous wreck, Bill performed well and the first 60 second session went perfectly. The next four sessions are Tues, Wed., Thurs, and Fri. of this week.
I'll try to find the illustration of how the proton beam therapy works and get it posted.
Thanks to all who have donated to the fund. You are great people.
