Radiation Treatment Number Thirty-nine


...because thirty-nine down and nine to go sounds better than six down and nine to go. Afternoon treatments are not great -- dp just wants to get it over, so the wait is hard for her. We've been testing the waters of 'how early is too early' - we were there more than a hour early yesterday, and they still got us in within 10 minutes or so.

dp is spending more time in the chairs every day -- we worked on bills together this evening and we'll do some more tomorrow morning. She's got a low-grade headache and ear-ache that tylenol and ibuprofen handle fairly well, and she's tired, especially after the treatments. Still, progress is slow but steady.

She did try a little typing yesterday, and her left hand is going to have to learn to do that again. Her 'a's keeping coming out 'q's, so you're stuck with my blogs for a while longer.

The photo is the best I could do at capturing the 'crystal forest' that was our woods. Yesterday, it finally warmed up a little, and by afternoon the woods were raining crushed ice. I'm slowly catching up on everything (look, here's a blog post!), and looking forward to the four day weekend. How about y'all?

To a turtle, slow but steady progress wins the race.
I just finished posting a couple of ice-and-snow pictures from last week on Nancyturtle's Notes. The link is on my profile for anyone who'd care to have a look.
