5.27.09 - radiation #7

radiation #7.

the indian woman who lives on the reservation near elko, NV, had her last radiation today. she was so happy and ready to drive the 5 hours back home right after her treatment.

there are now little red bumps on the radiated area and they itch!! the aloe gel helps, and i'm also using aquaphor lotion.

went to matt's after treatment and hung out with him for an hour or so. brought him a cauliflower just for fun, and was so happy when he cooked it right up for a snack! with cabbage!

it's hot as hell outside, and i love coming home to air-conditioning. it reminds me of growing up in texas.

I love cauliflower. I actually have cauliflower instead of rice with home made curries and chillis, much more nutricious (did I spell that right?)

I have been wanting to try the riced cauliflower thing.

It's exciting for the Indian woman to be able to go back home. I hope she lives many long years there in health and happiness.

I am so relieved to hear of how well you're doing, Deborah. It's amazing what we prove capable of when it comes down to it, isn't it?
