Catching up with me

Monday's visit with Dr. Chang was uneventful...still boring (is good). The "sunburn" down south is getting to the point where the skin is very irritated and there sometimes is a slight bleeding. Dr. Chang said this is normal (doesn't seem normal to me :) and I will talk to Dr. Hansen, the Radiation Oncologist about it Tuesday. Blood counts = normal, but slightly lower

Tuesday, got some wonderful "Silver Sulfadiazine" cream which is specifically for treating burns, says the pharmacy. It does soothe the pain, but the bummer is I am not supposed to use it in the morning before going to radiation, so I'll hurry home!

The radiation is "catching up with me" as I was quite fatigued Tuesday and didn't work at all. Mostly just laid on the couch by the fire and ate a few times. Now I know what it's like to be a cat.

Today (Wednesday) I'm feeling much better and have been/will be working...

  1. Good to hear you're hanging in there - one day at a time. We'll keep praying.

  2. I wish I were a cat sometimes...I wouldn't want to have to bury my poo though and licking myself instead of a hot bath just wouldn't be as fun.

    Love you both,

    Jodi
