X-rays

Radiation was a bit longer than normal today.  Not only did I have to meet with Dr. Moulds but I had X-rays taken before my appt.  Normally the X-rays don't take to long but the machine seemed to have issues and it took a little longer which meant by the time my radiation began my arm and hand were already completely numb.  That's all I could think about as I was lying there.  Please, don't let my body flinch.  I have to stay still.  Why does my hand feel like a ton of bricks?  It's killing me.  My arm is numb.  I wish I could adjust my arm.  Maybe if I open my hand and close my hand that will help?  Nope.
It was pure agony.  Finally radiation began.  The machine moved around my body and stopped.

I finally met with Dr. Moulds.  He was running behind schedule as well.  He said everything looked good so far and asked if I was getting tired faster in the evening.  Yes I am.  He smiled and said that was to be expected.  As long as I get rest, I should be good.  My appointment today was at 10:45am and I finally left the office at noon.  I still had to go grocery shopping.   Man I need a vacation when this is all over.
