Busy

(FYI - somehow you can leave comments. At bottom of post, I think click on comments/no comments.)

Never a Dull Moment.

This week was busy. Preparing for Tomotherapy.

Monday, pick up two bottles of barium stuff to drink for the abdominal CT on Tuesday. AND, hydrate!

Tuesday, drink the stuff, (yuck, and yuck), get scanned, get a dye injection while still on the table for the thorax CT, then get scanned again. More hydration to clear the dye.

Wednesday, worked the afternoon shift training our new office person. I think I talked for 3 hours straight. More talking usually means more coughing.

Thursday, 8:15 a.m. phone call "Can you come in now for a mapping scan?" Sure. They put my head and arms (above my head) in a foam thing that sets. I have to be in it to hold me in place for treatments. It was interesting trying to get out after it was hard. They also put three tattoo dots on me for positioning. They are about the size of a pin head. THAT HURT! What are people thinking when they get real tattoos? Later another dye injection for a brain MRI. More hydration to clear the dye. (Yes I do have a brain, and no cancer there!!) Last stop, the Lymphatic massage.


Friday after work I had time to go to Mary's office to lie on the Migun Massage Bed. I got to relax!
