Radiation has been interesting from the standpoint that I am required
to be at a certain place at a certain time each day. It is a
challenge to be on time every day. But I sense that for the
radiation technicians I am a slightly different patient than the norm.
They sort of laugh when I come in each day-- I fly in there in a rush,
change my clothes in about 25 seconds, kick my shoes in the
corner (and they always have comments about my shoes) and then I hop up
on the table to get my daily dose. Sometimes I haven't had time
for lunch, so I look for the double chocolate freshly baked cookies
that the AMC volunteers put in the waiting room (I know, it's not the
best lunch in the world, but I can address my bad eating habits after
all the treatments are over).
Radiation makes me more tired than chemo, but I am doing OK. I am
still teaching my indoor biking class, and I decided that I will start
running this week on the days I don't got to the Y -- on top of
everything I now have osteoporosis in my hip bone and I have to start
some impact work. I'll probably take our semi-retarded younger
dog with me (we have two black Standard Poodles, and she is the one
that we adopted through a pet rescue group in Kentucky last year--OK so
she isn't really retarded, but it sometimes seems that way -- she's a
55-pound stuffed-animal-like creature). I think I will be done
with radiation on the 30th.
Charlie and Jane got through their musicals this summer and now
football starts for Charlie this week. So it will be busy for
us. If any of you know someone who is looking for a house, tell
them that the house we bought next door will be on the market within
the next week. It is a gorgeous 4-BR, 3-Bath tri level with a
great yard and great neighbors (!!)
