Not So Happy List

#108 - Don't Like Creepy Monsters

A Welcoming Monster!

The day after returning from my wonderfully distracting trip to California, it was time to get back to business.

Yesterday I went for my "dry run" appointment before starting radiation.

This Linear Accelerator looks like a monster, opening its arms to welcome me.  I wonder if I would have how this machine would have appeared to me, had it not been decorated?
This funny thing will be delivering high energy x-rays to destroy any cancer cells, that think they have a right to still be in my body!  3 wonderful technicians worked away, adjusting me, taking pictures, comparing scans and... decorating me!

"I'm just drawing on you." said one. "These are some stickers."  Said another.  I just stared up at the ceiling looking at the Halloween decor that was hanging from the ceiling.  I had the feeling they might be drawing pumpkins and attaching ghosts stickers to my skin.

Moments later, I was done and I wrapped myself in the gown and headed past the small line up of "gowned" patients to the dressing room.
I put on my blouse and laughed.  I know these marks are important to make sure they target the proper places.  But someone should have warned me about wearing a scoop necked blouse.  I looked pretty silly walking out.  

I'm just glad my 6.5 weeks of radiation starts in October and not sweltering, June.  I will be paying special attention to my shirts for a while!

    Not-So-Happy            List

    Cancer - Covid

    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast cancer and then I was done.

    On March 17, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. Only this time, it was affecting more than me.

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer! Both are evil, but neither can totally get me down... if I vent! I hope with Covid, I run out of complaints before 200!
