Wow, today I completed #28 of 33 treatments!\u00a0 It’s so hard for me to believe.\u00a0 It’s actually flown by.\u00a0 Probably because I’ve been super busy at school, with the girls, and life.\u00a0 (As every other mom is.)\u00a0 This week, “we” put together a Double Bubble Gum costume, a flower costume and are working toward a Katherine Hepburn costume.\u00a0 Field trips, programs, projects, dessert theater, etc. etc.\u00a0 Next week, dance photos, finalizing house plans, a few doctor’s appointments, and end of year “stuff.”\u00a0 Its always gets crazy this time of year (especially this year) and I love it.<\/p>\n
Today, I also started my concentrated radiation (which is my translation, of course). My last six treatments will consist of radiation specifically directed at my tumor area (where it once was) and lymph node area (where they once were), basically, zapping my scars.\u00a0 I shouldn’t have much more redness and burning on my large tan square from this point on.\u00a0 It’s pretty funny and very, very tan.\u00a0 It’s a bit tender, but has yet to be painful.\u00a0 The stickers covering my paint marks (for alignment) have proven to be more of a nuisance than anything.\u00a0 Apparently, I’m allergic to the adhesive on the stickers which also burns my skin.\u00a0 So, at this moment, I have a large tan square and about 8 or so little tan\/burn circles from the stickers.\u00a0 It’s a great look.<\/p>\n
I realize I have not posted a single photo all month.\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0 My girls were adorable for Easter and I did manage to take a photo with my iphone.\u00a0 (My poor Nikon is dusty.)\u00a0 Alas, I’ve (temporarily) lost those photos.\u00a0 I ran over my phone last week. (Don’t ask)\u00a0 Thank goodness for insurance…Brand new iphone in a few days-have yet to transfer and sync everything.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 had another fantastic photo op of McCanless in all her pink glory as\u00a0 a big piece of Double Bubble gum this week, and…<\/p>\n
I smashed my brand new iphone as I ran to the car with said large gum costume, pocket book, pair of shoes, screaming 4-year-old and jet pack* in my over-stuffed hands.\u00a0 I made it to the car (and the program in time) but I dropped the phone on concrete only to smash it to pieces.\u00a0 No photo of my precious pink gumball.<\/p>\n
What’s that saying?\u00a0 A day late and a dollar short.<\/p>\n
Mel is speaking at a Funeral Director’s convention in Florida this weekend, so it’s a girls team only weekend.\u00a0 We are planning on soaking up the sun and having a great time with no homework, no projects, no costumes and no place to be at any specific time.<\/p>\n
*The jet pack is MC’s emergency pink back pack that goes everywhere she goes.\u00a0 It contains her emergency seizure meds and a portable oxygen tank.\u00a0 It’s pretty heavy.\u00a0 Lesson One:\u00a0 I can’t carry everything (and the kitchen sink) at once, no matter how late I’m running.\u00a0 Lesson Two: \u00a0 as much as I hate it, I need to dig out my huge, yet protecting, OtterBox again, and use it.\u00a0 Lesson three:\u00a0 Phone insurance will only cover one smashed phone in a one week time period.\u00a0 Lessons learned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
