Installed in Susenberg

Sunday morning.
I was transferred from Mammern to the Susenberg Clinic yesterday morning. The trip took an hour and I arrived in Susenberg just before 11 o’clock. What a difference! This place is much more compact but very much nicer. I no longer feel that I’m in God’s waiting room, and even the distant sound of Zurich traffic is a welcome change from the absolute silence of Mammern.
Danny dropped by late afternoon to bring me some fresh clothes and my post. My grandson Dean came along too and enjoyed collecting conkers out in the gardens. It took me a while to get my bearings and figure out what was what in this new place. Among other things, I discovered that trolley bus number 33, which turns around very close to my home, stops almost outside the door of the clinic. That’s great because I’ll probably be able to go AWOL from time to time, and it will make things much easier for Linda the next time she comes over.
Today looks like a quiet Sunday with nothing much on the programme. Tomorrow at 11 a.m. I have to be at the hospital for a discussion with the oncologists about the next cycle of chemotherapy.
The psychological effect of moving here has been amazing. Suddenly, I’m much more positive and active. My decision, which didn’t go down too well in Mammern, was unquestionably the right one.
