G'day, people.
Just a quick greeting in passing, I haven't got time to greet everyone in person.
I started my radiation treatment today, plus saw a shoulder specialist. This week is going to be ridiculously busy and life is getting a bit out of hand. I'll write more when I have more time, but for now I have to go rest. I didn't expect to feel anything from the treatment on the first day, but I think I am already aware of reactions.
I am very glad to have husband driving me to and from appointments.
Today being the first day, I had to have measurements taken, topless photos taken with various things attached. I had to stick little white dots on my chest area (over nipples) and then hang a weird arrow with a spirit level around my neck. I told the nurse that if she produced a chicken out of her bag, I was leaving the room - as in, "erotic is using a feather; kinky is using the whole chicken".
Tomorrow after the treatment, difficult child 3 sees the therapist, then husband & I see a financial advisor about cashing in my superannuation pension. I need to make a decision soon but I also need advice. I'm thinking, maybe tomorrow was a bad choice of time after all. But it's done now.
Wed & Thurs we have to get difficult child 3 in to school. husband will take him while I'm in treatment, then I will follow on in the car to meet up with the blokes. Each day we have other appointments afterwards when really, I just want to get home. But I have to do this, otherwise various problems will be hanging over my head and I won't be able to rest properly anyway.
Hopefully by next week we'll be in a better routine. Friday is expected to be a quiet day at home, a day off from treatment. I plan to sleep!
Enjoy your Monday.
