I’m aware I’ve been “off the radar” for a while, having
other’s blog for me. Its been a combo of
wanting them to be able to share their part of the journey as well as me not
feeling totally up to blogging…but I’m back (& better than ever) ;)
I’ve been trying to
take pictures to document everything (radation, transplant, etc)…so I’ll start
by catching you guys up on what I’ve been up to this past week. I had total body radiation 2x/day for 4 days
(ending yesterday). I sat on a bicycle
seat and they used these metal alloy lung shields to protect my lungs from
getting too much radiation. I’ve
included a picture of the lung protector thingies because I think they are
hilarious.
The physicist here at the
hospital actually made the plastic thing that they hang on and they just simply
block the radiation. The radiation techs
simply turn off the lights and line my lungs up (via x-ray) with the blocks and
they drew all over me to make sure that they had me lined up correctly (another
picture with my temporary “back tattoo” J.
Not an “exact science” at all, but I’m
thankful that they are careful and that the physicist here at the hospital is
so crafty J
lol
Today I’m waiting for John to come to the hospital and
visit. My SIL and MIL are in town taking
care of Scott & hanging out at the house which is awesome because it frees
John up to come visit at the hospital J
