The purple is the bean bag. See how it conforms to my legs feet and ankles? And the saran wrap stuff I talked about in the last post on top.
The first picture is me coming out of the tunnel from the radiation. It all took about 30 minutes and with my arms above my head, they were about dead staying in the position that long.
After the procedure, I went in the doctor's office and waited for him to come in and talk to me. I had my daughter Emily with me. Within about 5 minutes, I started feeling green, and I found the garbage can in his office and out came breakfast. I know. tmi. Then he came in and I had to go to his garbage can again while he was in there. [ Embarrassing!] He felt so bad that it had affected me this way. We made some plans for next weeks appointment so that I don't get sick, and a prescription. He also told me that everything went perfect and how they really gave me a large dose of radiation today and are giving me the weekend off to get used to it before next week. Emily thinks the doctor looks like he is only '20' years old! Funny stuff.
Before I left the hospital, I had to run to throw up again and twice on the way home. I felt an queasiness till late afternoon. And I was tired!!! But boy did I sleep good that night! 1 down, 4 to go!!! Hoping for raisins!!!!
Terry Lynn- I hope the worst of these radiation treatments is over for you and that the next 4 go much better. It's no fun to be sick but it's going to be worth in the end when those tumors shrink away! It was good to talk with you last week! Hang in there!! What a journey you have been on!
