Today I went for my 4th radiation treatment out of 10 and so far, it's been great. I learned to disassociate the vomiting with going to radiation and I haven't had a problem since then. As a matter of fact, I haven't had any problem at all with nausea and vomiting! Yahoo! I noticed after my very first treatment that there was a difference in my hip, that I could walk a little bit better. After the second treatment, I could walk even better. Well, after four treatments, I figured that I could try and work today. Although it wasn't easy, I managed to put in 4.25 hours today. I'm planning on returning tomorrow for the same amount of time, however, I'm going to bring the cane tomorrow when I go. Even though I've been able to stop using the cane, I still think it'll come in handy toward the end of my shift. Today I was in a lot of pain toward the end, and limping was starting to really take it's toll on me, where after awhile my good side started to ache from babying the bad side for so long. By the time I got home, all I wanted to do was go to bed. I literally planned on calling it a night at 6:15! I started to fix dinner, but I was hurting so bad that Johnny came in and offered to finish for me and after thanking him, I said goodnight. Well, as you can see...I'm up again and feeling much better than earlier. If all goes well, I'll be able to put in some time at work tomorrow.
Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
