The medical assistant who took my vitals today introduced herself because she's new. She's the second new medical assistant I've had in recent months, and it does make me wonder what happened to my old familiar medical assistant.
It's interesting... For the 12 weeks I had chemo, I saw the same medical professionals week after week. They all knew me, and their friendly faces were so comfortingly routine. Now that I'm a year out from chemo, I'm seeing new faces all the time. I'm not sure I can describe the feeling. It's kind of like staying an extra year in school; all the people you associated with the place have moved on, but you're still there.
My nurse today was one I hadn't seen in a while; she used to be the "new" nurse, but now she's just in the regular rotation. I like it when she's my Lupron nurse because her shots are always painless! She says it's because she does the injection veeeeeery slowly. Any time I mention how much I appreciate her painless shots, she says I made her day by saying so!
After the shot, I picked up my Tamoxifen prescription. I'll start it tonight. Wish me luck.
