I have no pictures today.
Dec. 13th, 2012 03:55 pmI did have a really good talk with Issac, He has become my main radiation technologist and has finally gotten over the nervous, apologetic attitude due to the whole topless thing. We talked about The-Rat-Brat and how she's trying to grow up way too fast. He's looking forward to meeting her next week and has offered to give her a tour and let her watch the whole treatment on the cameras they have set up. I think it would be good for her. She is still way too worked up about "You have to be topless!!!??" and can't understand how it isn't a big deal.
I have tried explaining to her, many times, that once you have given birth there is very little about any nudity in at least a medical situation that will effect you. I am sure the other mother's out there know what I am talking about.
There was a bit of a mix-up that had me thinking I was really early today when really I was REALLY late. Someone, in the minor shuffling and updating of appointments on my card had written "Thurs 12" for today's date and I had been reading the "12" part and moving on to the next day ... that was interesting and, fortunately, not a huge deal for anyone.
NO CHEMO TODAY!! (There is a dance of joy accompanying this, can you tell?)
Down side, also less anti-nausea medication this morning. It was a bit iffy for an hour or so this morning on if I would manage to keep down the small amount of breakfast I had been able to eat.
I did manage AND no adverse side effects from the Gravol. Yay! Which also means I managed a bit more breakfast. I did find out that my next round of chemo starts in the first week of January, so there is that.
Other than that I had a check in with a general treatment nurse, just to make sure I was not having any weird side effects or serious burning from the radiation. I am not, all is normal and the burning is actually going better than expected - as in I am not showing any signs of it at all. She thinks I can thank that slightly oily skin I spend so much of my life cursing for this. So, yeah, for probably the first time in my life, thank you excess skin oil. I knew you had to be good for something.
I did get to visit with a really awesome, really BIG, fluffy companion dog today. His name was Moose, and it suited him. He stopped by to generally brighten the mood in the waiting room and promptly planted himself beside me and flopped his head on my lap. His person tells me he knows those who have big dogs at home. He's more comfortable with those people since they are more comfortable with him. I was going to get a picture of him, but got called in to see the nurse before I could get my phone out.
And that was pretty much what happened today.
Oh! And one of the volunteers who brings the coffee cart around has learned how I take my coffee. :)
