Is my butt glowing?

Today was a mile maker. 25 radiation treatments were completed today. I did them all. I don't think the Doctors thought I could do it but they didin't know how tough this Hoosier gal can be. Yeah!!!! Yipee!!! Thank Goodness!!!

Since I was ill one day last week and missed a treatment, the radiation treatment was finished today on a Saturday. Which is not the norm. But the radiation doctor decided that we would go ahead and complete it instead of me coming back in on Monday as an out patient. I was sooooooo grateful. The team had to come in just for me and fire that machine up just for little ole me. I could kiss all of them. They were all wonderful throughout this whole thing. Concerned about how I was feeling and how my caboose was doing. Made me feel like a real person and not a no nothing on a cold slab. I said it before but there are some great angles all around me.

Ross came by after he had done some chores. We enjoyed lunch again together. I was brave today and ordered items that had been starring at me since I came here. Like French fires and chicken nuggets. Tasted great at the time but in retrospect might not have been the smartest. I think my system needs some more healing time before I can tackle these things again.

I am looking forward to a hamburger and a chocolate doughnut. These are on my wish list when the time is right.

The count down is officially on. They hung the last bag of Chemo. Doctor came in and wrote the orders for me to be released on Sunday. So after the the last drip goes in I am out of here. It may be late but I am leaving Sunday evening when this is done. Yeah again!!! Less than 24 hours and this part of the journey is a memory.
