Radiation Treatment day 33. 73% complete

ON Thursdays the patients complete a survey about our pee and poo experiences for the past week


HERE is an enhanced version of the same photo. The background is blurred to accentuate the foreground. And the skin tone livened a little. This is my self image of how I look – all healthy and rosey cheeked. It just isn’t quite true.

45 MINUTES travel time got us to the radiologist at 11:59. My appointment is officially 12:10. At 12:11 I was called into the treatment room. After the treatment Ella and I go to a consultation with the doctor. Today I asked what follow-up to expect at the end of radiation. The doctor printed out a summary of the after-care. I forgot to pick it up at the reception desk.
DAY 72°. Areas of drizzle this morning. Patchy fog this morning. Cloudy with a chance of showers. Highs in the upper 70s. Southeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts to 30 mph. Chance of rain 50%.

I ASKED Ella what she wanted for lunch: beef, pork, fish, or fowl. She said, “Fish.” I did a Google search for Long John Silver’s and found one about two miles from the doctor’s office. I ordered the fish and shrimp. I know it ain’t gourmet, but I like it.

IT was necessary to pick up prescriptions for Ella at Walgreens.
NIGHT 67°. Cloudy with a slight chance of showers. A slight chance of thunderstorms after midnight. Lows in the upper 60s. South winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 35 mph. Chance of rain 20%.

THEN it was a stop at Dollar Tree for bingo prizes.
WE were back home at 3:00.
ELLA called bingo this evening from 6 to 7.
