Happy Valentines DAY!!!

How romantic to have radiation treatment on Valentine's day.  Guess my skin matches the color of LOVE.  RED!!!  Ouch!

Of course today being Tuesday, I had X-rays taken and met with the nurse and doctor.  As usual, my arm and hand started getting numb.  As I was lying down on the table, a lady said that she was a student in training.  She asked if it was ok if she assisted in my radiation treatment.  Of course you can.  I'm completely amused with the jobs of a radiation therapist and I've flirted with the idea of looking into that career.  I really need to find a new job.  I'm so over mine now.  Anyway, I wish I could remember the girls names but one of the therapists placed my arm above my head.  Then they started adjusting my position to line me up.  The student in training did most of the adjusting which took a little longer than normal.  I thought to myself.  Oh crap I screwed myself today.  My arm is totally going to go numb.  And of course it did.  After I was finally lined up, they must have taken 6 x-rays.  So slow.  I could feel my body wanting to twitch so bad.  Focus Jen, focus.

Finally my radiation treatments began.  At least I know when that happens it's four rounds and I'm done.  It doesn't really take that long.  Once I'm done, I get to put my arm down and today I had to assist my left arm with my right hand.  OUCH!

Afterward, I met with the nurse and Dr. Moulds for a quick looksie.  They both said my skin looked good. I told them I felt good just tired.  So I'm going to take a little nap when I get home.  He told me that was a good idea.

So once I got home, I was making lunch when the doorbell rang.  It rang several times.  I thinking who the heck is at my door ringing my bell like a crazy person.  I peeked out the window and I had no idea who's car was in my driveway.  Whatever.  Then my phone started ringing.  What?  I don't know who is calling me.  Then the doorbell was ringing again.  What the heck?  Then my cell phone was ringing.  Ok, now I know I have a crazy person at the door.  But how do they know both of my phone numbers?  Do I know this person?  Is this an emergency?  I answered my cell.  Turns out it was a girl trying to deliver an edible arrangement.   Wow, all that drama for a delivery.  So I threw on my wig and answered the door, saying sorry, I was asleep.

I got chocolate covered strawberries from Ken and Cody.  How yummy.  Not sure how many will be left by the time they get home.  Ha-ha!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!
