Radiation day 7/8.....
I must tell you I have been a little concerned about “Brain Radiation”. Have you ever seen that movie “Plan 9 From Outer Space”? Everybody gets zapped and walks around with their arms out and are just stumbing around. It’s kind of curious what thoughts come to you whenyou don’t know what is going to happen to “your” head....... So far so good. No stumbing around ... well, no more than usual.
I hit the table early today. The radiologists were in good form. Very pointed ....very accurate (I guess...how would I know)...anyway....I want to tell you about another sense when you go through this. The sense of smell. The first treatment I thought ...”Is someone smokin’ in here?” Seems kinda rude...but no. I was a little panicked at first. I thought my brain might be on fire. Now don’t get me wrong, I had no sensation of heat. The smelll is something that is a mix of hot iron smell, salsa and chips, with a hint of noxema...It lasts only about 30 seconds.
I digress.....
The last few days my pants have been a hit in radiation. My lovely friend, Ms Marshall has given me some “rockin” radiation pants. I wear them everyday. The folks in radiation looked at me kinda strage the first day, but as we go on they are catching my personality a little more. Man I love these pants.
Back to the table
After 8 days I have this routine down. I know how long it takes to be zapped and am taking my tape off. Well...I should say I am in trouble for this today.....I expalined to the guys...”I gotta go. Let’s work together.” When they put you on the table you go up about 10 feet.( I think someone might have fallen off) ...the lights go off and the show begins...I can see how it would happen. I think they are beginning to trust me more.
I told my techs all about my “diet”.....I love that J!....They had a baby shower today and had some cake left over.......they tried to sneak me some....but I knew not to eat any...he would smell it on my breath!
We are eating form the “Makers Diet”. Good book you might check it out. Eating the way God intended.
I will say that I am dreaming about my favorite meal.....You know what it is? Pasta filled wiith Ricotta.....loaded with Hunts Special Sauce......and cheese (my Sister and I have a Cheese fetish)...witht he biggest baked potato (of course loaded with cheese)....J says I might be able to have a meal like this....he just won’t say when.... he is determined.
I talked to the techs and am starting an exercise routine. At first everyone said, "Don’t get your body tired....Don’t bend over....Don’t do too much". It’s time to get in in gear. The program started today.....
Tonight I lift up everyone of you on this journey with me. God is all powerful. I pray you all a complete rest tonight.
