Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow. ~Swedish Proverb

At previous chemo appointments, no mention was made of doing chest xrays for Hudson on the fourth chemo visit.  Izzy had them done on the fourth visit, and so did most of the Tripawd blogs I visited.  I've been decidedly upset all day about the looming shadow of Thursday, so I called Dr. Janson today to confirm that chest films would be done.

I missed her return call (stupid cell phone signals) but she left me a voicemail.  She waits until the 5th chemo appointment to do the xrays. 

I now have another 30 days to worry about Hudson.  I know the worry does no good, but I think about it at odd moments through out the day.  I don't want to do this for another month.

Hudson is still blissfully happy, unaware of the sword that dangles over our heads.  When I am around him, I force myself to remain happy and upbeat.  I don't want him to sense any sort of worry or concern.

Only man clogs his happiness with care, destroying what is with thoughts of what may be.  ~John Dryden
