Radiation 2

Major envy about beautiful weather - nice to see everyone is picking up with Solstice/Yule just around the corner..

Started the first day of a week of radiation sessions for a bone tumor on the
outside of vertebrae 11 yesterday.

I never throw up - very high on my list of things I dislike intensely - haven't
participated in the ritual for years..

Woke up yesterday - threw up WTF
Started the radiation set up - Threw UP

When done Dr. Arrived in the midst of clean up..

Back on Steroid ;-9
Morphine dose changed to 24 slow release.
plus a 24 hr slow release stool softener as Morphine really plays games with
one's bowels as does the steroid and the radiation therapy.

My muscles have disappeared so am temporarily back in wheel chair.

Tom is off to PTBO for a car fix in today and then then back home to Apsley to
take me to Oshawa for radiation treatment for 3:45.

This is so hard on him - he is such a trooper. being 85 is showing it's head
around the corners.

Hoping the new medication mix will cover the intense pain and other nasty bits
from yesterday.
Covering my not wanting to eat will also be a huge bonus.
I hope I can start helping ; instead of always needing help.

Will let you know when this batch of sessions are done and let you know how the
results improing MY outlook. Sleeping less than 16 hours a day would be nice start.

Now to find something warm to wear as we are a mix of snow and freezing rain depending
how close to the Lake Ont. we get.

May your day (s) be wonderful.
Bright Blessings
