Sohum had his chemo appointment at the clinic today. Everything went off pretty well. They still have the rule of only one parent with the patient and so I had to sit outside in the car while Sohum was in the clinic. They now have a set of new rules in place for masks and gloves that everybody needs to wear and it’s only making the experience a lot more harder. Every single day I wish that the country that I live in had handled the situation better.
So home has four more appointments left. The next appointment is his spinal tap which has to be done at the hospital and according to the new regulations in the hospital everyone who goes to the hospital has to be  tested for COVID-19. So a few days before his appointment we need to make another trip to the hospital to get him tested. As if we don’t have enough to deal with.
The good part is that we can see the light at the end of the tunnel now.
That’s all!

A mash-up of two words to make a new word (such as breakfast and lunch into brunch, or motel from motor and hotel) is called a portmanteau. In case you’re wondering, the word “portmanteau” itself is not a portmanteau; it’s a compound word that refers to a duel-sided suitcase. (merriam-webster.com)
