Day #1 Radiation Done!

First day of radiation is done. Only 14 more treatments to go. Thank goodness that radiation treatments don't hurt. Its just a quick in and out procedure. Im also blessed with good therapists. They are fun to see daily. That I think is an important quality. They have the best bedside manner.

Im still healing from surgery but overall doing pretty good. My scars are healing nicely, and each day its less tender. The only side effect I have right now is that my legs are very weak. I had to bring out the cane to walk with. If I were to walk any distance Id have to get my wheelchair out. Its crazy on how just a couple of weeks in bed has put me back to where I was needing assistance. The best way to describe it is that my knees just give way. I haven't fallen as I make sure to have Eric help me, and not push too far. I hate having to constantly go back and forth between sick/weak and strong/semi healthy.

So as for the rest of the week: I see the radiation doc wednesday. I see my tummy surgeon thursday, and if cleared start chemo friday. Woo hoo. How fun!
