Rough Night

So we know Ive been dealing with all sorts of side effects from the radiation. As of last night it seemed to have gotten worse. I have been getting dizzy more and more, and my eyesight is blurry. Every now and then sharp pains will happen during a dizzy episode. Its not bad, just a really odd feeling. (I  know I keep saying I just feel odd, but there isnt a better explanation). 

Early this morning 2 am (as usual) I woke up in pain. My legs felt as if someone were stabbing them. I was in agony. I took a pain pill and tried to get some sleep. No such luck. I ended up pacing the floor with the dog, as it was the only way to sorta keep the pain down. Just as quickly as it happened it vanished around 6 am. 

Eric is watching me closely. Im okay right now just still really odd feeling and shakey. Easily dizzy etc. This is all expected due to radiation and/or the tumors themselves. If it gets worse we will call the doctors. As of right now we just have to manage it, and try to rest. I expected this to happen, as its very similar as to how I felt my last radiation treatment before christmas. We knew it was a matter of time. 

We are still struggling with the skin irritation and burns. I tend to slather myself in baby lotion hourly to try to keep the skin from hurting. I swear my bathroom has more baby lotions than my kids! Ill be happy when my skin stops burning and I can touch a pillow without pain. Or wear a hat... lol. 

So thats where we are today. Taking it a bit at a time, and just trying to get some rest when I can.
