Day 14

Well 14 treatments down.
Today I had to chuckle to myself there was a elder women in the waiting room, she was being checked in by a E.R nurse as I walked in. She was draped in a blanket with her clothes in a bag. But she was complaining about everything wanting coffee then saying to the nurse " it'll be to hot you have to put ice in it, if I don't talk loud and yell no one listens to me. " then she looked over at me and said " have you had your treatment yet? " I said " no " to which this little old lady replied " great I have to wait for you?" I said " who knows maybe I have to wait for you?" ( which I did :) ) then she asked where is yours?? I didn't answer her, And luckily Walt came and got her before she asked more questions.
I love little old people they get to a point where they don't care what they say, who hears them or who they say it to. Little old lady ( sorry I don't know your name) But I wish you well and a quick recovery.
God Bless all who are reading this and their families

Enjoying down time.

Well I think I am getting caught up on some sleep. I am not sleeping past 7 like I had planned but I am in bed early. So I am getting some much needed rest. 2 more treatments and I will be at the 1/2 way point.
God Bless you all

Lucky 13 done

So 13 of 30 is now in the books and I just came in for a quick break I am out in the flower beds and am totally enjoying getting dirty.

I saw the doc today and everything is going well. She instructed me to rest during this long Holiday weekend which I will but I do have stuff to do , by rest maybe I'll just get to bed early and sleep past 7:00

The pain is less intense so that is a good thing and I am just starting to 'burn' but nothing to crazy. 

Well that is enough of a break I hope you all have a Safe and Happy Memorial Day and please take a minute to remember and thank the BRAVE men and women serving this great country

God Bless

12th one done

Well day 12 of radiation is done. I am really tired, the fatigue is getting to me, I am now looking forward to Saturday - Monday when I can sleep in. Today shouldn't be to bad I am doing a job that takes a little bit of thinking. Last night was long because the job was a light rotation job, meaning there were really only 4 positions one you did for over 1.5 hours and it just got monotonous, I was in bed before 11 and slept until the alarm went off.  I am not in as much discomfort now though. But I do take a Tylenol as needed so maybe that is what is giving me relief.

On another note, I wanted to get out and weed and plant flowers this weekend but there is a frost warning for tomorrow, so I doubt if anything will go in the ground but those pesky weeds are out of there.
Have a great day
God Bless

11 down 19 to go

I am really tired today it seems lately the traveling is what is pooping me out. I am hoping to get some R&R this weekend, but it is a double edged sword because everything I should be doing during the day , I am to tired to do when I get home, so I will probably do that this weekend, but I am hoping there will be time allotted for a nap.
Other then the fatigue and the discomfort I mentioned earlier I am doing great I will be a happy camper in 0 days though.\
Have a great Hump Day
God Bless

1/3 done

Well apparently I missed a day today was my 10th treatment, so I am 1/3 of the way done YIPPEE!!!
I saw the nurse today and again mentioned the discomfort she told me this is common ( I just don't remember it from 7 years ago) so I am not going to worry about the discomfort and just pop Tylenol as needed!
The nurse also told me I was a amazing baker and asked if I did that for a living. :) Yes my buttons were popping! So 20 more treatments then I am done running everyday and will get my mornings back. Conveniently it seems to be happening just as the weather is getting nice.
I wish you all the best
God Bless

8 down 22 to go

Well first of all Happy Monday! Again treatment went great I am coming along !  I am surprised however at the amount of discomfort I have. Not from the radiation just discomfort in general. I don't remember this from last time. I am also tired, but I am 7 years older and I now work nights so I am sure that has a lot to do with it.
My team was happy to see me today, this weeks treat was muffins so they got a breakfast treat! I love the faces when they see me walk in with a goodie box this weeks they really commented on the presentation. I used tulip shaped muffin liners and had them in a fancy box. Boy do I wish I could make a living that way. But then I wouldn't enjoy it as much.

I had such a great time this weekend as my previous post indicates. As always I learned so much from dem' cousins! Like " How do you know what color egg a chicken will lay "?    Look at the ear lobes what ever color their ear lobs are is the color of egg they'll lay.
I swear it is true ( go ahead " google " it!) Thanks for the info and the giggle Janet!
Have a great week everyone
God Bless
