Radiation has begun

Today was the first day of radiation. They had to tattoo me again. Draw on me several lines since I am allergic to all adhesive tapes. One problem is the drawings have worn off already. Hope enough is there by morning for them to follow and redraw. 

What ever dignity you have is completely lost when you have cancer. I will save you details for now.

My daughter went with me today and tomorrow even though it is her birthday. My baby girl turns 19. Feels good saying that. See I was told I wouldn’t see her be 15. She is 19 and so brave, strong, independent and successful young lady. 

The worse thing is my arms during the radiation session. They are complaining being above my head. I could barley bring them down today they hurt so much. Fingers were ice. They said tomorrow would be shorter so we will see. 

Good night everyone 

Thank you for all your prayers 

Happy Valentines

I had a great Valentine’s Day. My son gave me flowers. Then my daughter came by with a mini rose and the sweetest card. Had a quiet day, worked on my taxes little bit then laid down watched a little tv. 

Last week was the pre radiation mapping. Now wait for them to call for the radiation to begin in 7-10 days. 

 Meantime, working on everyone’s taxes. Two down and two more to go. Mine is the most detailed so saved for last. 

Going to Boca Saturday for my sons last Graduate school audition. Has 4 done already heard back from 2 as accepted. 

I feel free again. My sons truck broke down been driving him back and forth to school and all the auditions. Thankful his wife left her job so I am not running back and forth there also. Yesterday it was finally repaired but then this morning something else went. Thankfully his dad had some time to figure it out and fix it. His wife and I took it to him so that I didn’t have to run out tonight in the cold to get him. 

When I blogged long ago there was a once a week grateful post. I am thinking of starting that again. Not sure the original blog is still doing it. I found it gave me peace and helped me to look at the beauty around me in a more positive view. So much around us to be thankful for and we need to be reminded to slow down and look, smell, and feel. Sit quiet in the Lord.

Good night I am going to relax and enjoy this valentines with my family.
