"Today's Joy" was going to an appointment with Ed at the Infusion Unit just built, a building all on its own. We loved the old unit but this is a gorgeous place with lots of room to get treatments.

Each time we go to the area which is near the Imaging Department at the hospital we see a chipmunk. It is a pleasure that we see him all the time!! As you know Ed and myself name our wilderness friends so when we refer to them we know what we are talking about. I decided to name him Chester the Chipmunk. A day after naming him I realized...hey how perfect of a name!!! 'CHEST'er the chipmunk has helped us on our journey since we started in September 2006, we constantly see him. He is our BREAST CANCER MASCOT and really has made going to the hospital an anticipated event.....are we going to see Chester??

I am really hoping that PinkGirl will allow Tiptoe to visit with us for a bit. I have heard that chipmunks and mice can get to be great friends and Chester is very lonely since we only go to infusion once a month instead of twice a week. Please let me know when and if he can visit PinkGirl, Chester is in dire need of new friends. I will treat him like he is my own. I know he does not like the cold so I will make every effort to make him comfortable here in Little Rhody (Rhode Island). Please say yes. No pressure but I kinda let Chester know he will have relatives visiting as soon as their schedule clears up.
