Today, on this hot "greek athinian weather" day, Daphne and Sophia came with us to the hospital. They got to see (with me) the room where they do the radiation and saw Panormitis getting ready into the right position with his body and with his mask on, while the nice and polite nurses were explaining us exactly how things work. Before they activate radiation we were allowed to stay with them and the doctors in a room where we could follow Panormitis on the screen. There were about 5 huge monitors where they checked everything very precisely. Looking at Panormitis like that made me quite emotional and sad. It is very confrontating to see your husband laying there with his mask on.

Anyhow, after that the girls were reading  on the hospitals website information on what a braintumor is, treatment, etc.etc. We also showed them the neurologic department where Panormitis stayed before and met up with Annette, the tall nice nurse who made sandwiches for Panormitis in the middle of the night whenever he felt hungry.

 We had a "kroketje" and went back to Rijswijk. As it was too hot to do anything we a sort of relaxed at home. Later in the evening Freek came by and brought us icecreams, what a treat!!

Tommorow some friends we met in Patmos 3 years ago, ( I remember Panormitis was trying to find their weddingring in Geranou which they had lost in the sea. We all ended up snorkeling around looking for the ring, which unfortunatly was not to be found ) will come to see us and they are going to make our life a bit more mobile. As they offered us to use their car for the time we are staying here. What a blessing!!!! Like this I can take Panormitis whenever he feels like it to the seaside, park, exhibition etc. etc. and when he gets tired, back home again. You can imagine how happy we are with this offer, thank you very much Peggy and Ferry.

  1. Lieve schatten wat een geluk met die auto en wat lief. Als alles een beetje goed gaat kunnen jullie misschien een keer bij mij op de (woon)boot komen voor een hapje en drankje aan de Westeinderplassen, is heel beeldig vooral met dit mooie weer. Het is niet zover van Rijswijk, het ligt bij Aalsmeer. Ik hoor het wel als jullie willen, bel me dan op 06-53403268. Dikke kus van Lawijn (is ook de naam van mijn boot)
