Last night was rough. During the day, I feel pretty good, eating much smaller amounts than what I usually eat, but still eating something if I want it. Yesterday, I had 2 pancakes, a piece of cake, mashed potatoes with gravy, small amount of roasted corn chowder, scrambled eggs, a few pieces of fish that Sam made, and 3 slices of roasted chicken. I would say that's a pretty good amount of food considering that I feel like my tongue's starting to swell. Well, for the second night, I had intense abdominal pain. Sam ran out to get the Immodium for diarrhea, but I don't think that it gave me much relief. I just went to bed. I could try going to sleep earlier so that I'd be unconscious when it hits.
When I woke up this morning, I was feeling like my normal self. The radiation went smoothly, and I went to see Dr. RadOnc (radiation oncologist) afterwards. I had my pics taken for the study. I'm getting 270 cGy per radiation treatment, for a total of 4050 cGy. Dr. RadOnc showed me the CT scan, and I could see the clips that were left from the surgery. My heart really does look like it's out of the way with I breathe in. He did a good job.
Sam got me roses yesterday to celebrate one of our many anniversaries. Isn't he sweet? What did I do? I did the laundry. He loves it when I do the laundry. Those of you who have read The Five Languages know why this makes complete sense.

It's The Five Love Languages. I don't know how to edit this thing once it's up.
I totally get it, and I am sorry to hear that you had such a bad night. Any advice from the doctor about what you can do about your tongue?
You've described the book to me several times but I still have not read it yet. I definitely have to read it sometime.
I'm wishing you a big hug right now. Feel it? I hope that tonight will be nice and easy for you.
Hey gurl. That's a beautiful title to a book. You have a very sweet, and caring husband, and I am glad you have him to look after you. I hope your tummy is feeling better - go easy with food and just let the stomach chill out on easy digestibles.
