IIRC, it started about halfway thru (I had about 35 treatments--Monday thru Friday with week ends off to recover) but didn't really hit hard until near the end. Your milage may vary. They may tatoo some
registration marks (small dots) on you to help them line the machine up better. They're barely noticeable tho.
BTW, got the stitches out yesterday but can't get the area wet for a couple more days. Dr is very happy with how the elbow area looks.
Looking back, I'm half surprised I didn't cut a ligament or tendon when
I fell--but I'm glad I didn't.

Nice to have family close by to take care of you. We were in Savannah, nearest family (in laws) were in Florida but not able to do any sort of care. Church and work (Army) families were a help tho, Army was very co-operative about Steve taking time to take care of me. We timed my radiation treatments to fit in the time frame he had free after PT but before the work day started. He'd come home from PT, get cleaned up and have breakfast, then take me for treatments, take me home and be at his job at the time he was supposed to start.

Sounds like all dogs that I'd get along well with. I've heard of blue

Best thing to do with a shy animal is to let them come to you and let
them discover how harmless some people can be. Our Jenny-cat had been abused as a kitten; we got her as a full grown cat. She was still quite timid most of the time but did somewhat come out of her shell if she
knew her environment was safe.
When the chirrun get a new forever home for their fur kids I'm going
to hit an ASPCA adoption event and let a kitten adopt me. I'm nore of
a cat person than a dog person anyway.
I'd rather have a cat but........
Today's session is the half-way point. For registration marks I have
some large(ish) "X" marks with waterproof tape over the junction so it doesn't wash away in the shower.
You are getting off easy but still be aware of the side effects.
Today and Wednesday are the final sessions. Still no extra tiredness. We'll see what happens after next Wednesday.
It may take some time or you may escape it entirely. Just make sure
that if it hits while you're cooking, to turn off the stove, put knives
in a secure spot and any open food gets stowed before going to lie
down.
Very much so! Attendant at the rest area was a young man, probably a summer hire, who did fill out an incident report but otherwise didn't
do much of anything. Steve pulled out the first aid kit from the truck
to put temporary patches on until we got to the ER.

He'd come home from PT, get cleaned up and have breakfast, then take me for treatments, take me home and be at his job at the time he was supposed to start.
Steve was probablu up in pay-grade by then. If he's been E-2 or E-3 it would probably have been a different story.
Depends on the unit, some are better than others. Steve was a Master Sergeant (E-8) by then. He always took me to my treatments in uniform
so one time one lady who was there with her husband made the offer that
if we didn't want to drive up from Fort Stewart (Hinesville, about an
hour away) every day, I could stay with them. We politely thanked her
and told her that we live in Savannah. Never got her name but it was
nice of her to make the offer to us.
Fortunately my brother is retired from his 9 to 5. He's certainly
running the wheels off his ride providing Uber for Ms. Vicky
(wife), DD> Robin (wife's daughter), Tiffany (daughter) and me.
No cost Uber for family. (G) We've used Uber, IIRC, only once. Wake
Forest has started a free ride service using mini vans, set up as an on line contact only. We've not yet tried it but I have the app on my
phone for whenever I might need it.
My local Senior Center offers such a service. I had thought about
applying to be a driver for them. Their range of wheels runs from
"socer mom" vans to mini-buses on full-sizes cargo van chassis. They
off door-to-door as well as location to location rides but with no
fixed routs.
Same with this group. The town has a limited bus service but it doesn't
go to most grocery stores and no doctor's offices. The new service will take you anywhere in the WF area but I presume just drop you off and
you will have to call for a new ride home. Don't know, we've not tried
it, but I don't want to be caught at the grocey store with a sack full
of perishables and have to wait for a ride. The bus loops on the hour
so if you just miss it, you're waiting almost 2 hours for the next one. Not good for groceries!

road. We'd gone over the mountain, nearest town was 40 minutes in back
of us. Since we weren't sure of what damage I'd done and if the metal plate/screws in the elbow had been damaged, we went back to the ER
there. Set us back several hours but it was worth getting checked out
at an ER vs an Urgent Care. I'd missed lunch and got out of the ER near supper time so we stopped at a DQ for cones before going back over the mountain for the 3rd time that day. Spent the night boondocking at a remote trailhead in SE Utah.

My Hy-Vee (currently USA Today's #1 Grocer) offers both pick-up and deliverry if I buy U$25 or more worth of grub. Which, given today's
prices is not at all hard to do. That's how I get pantry items and
frozen stuff. Fresh meat and produce - I still buy in person. But the delivery (even tipping the driver) or pick-up saves a lot of time and, especially, effort.
I'm still enjoying shopping in person but may try a pick up/delivery service at some point. Most of our groceries we get at Wegman's but go
to super big box stores for paper goods, vitamins, etc. Eventually
we'll probably condense everything down to one store but we're not
ready to yet.

Better to invest a few hours than to pay will *all* of your remaiing
hours by not getting treated/checked out. They finally convinced me
that I am not bulletproof - so whenever I have a faux pas (French for tripping over my own big feet) I go get anything more than a Band Aid "owie" checked out.

Good, maybe you will escape the heavier side effects. I had a much
longer regime so had more of the side effects. Right now the major
fatigue is jet lag from the quick trip to Hawaii.

Steve saw the cut when he cleaned me off and saw that it was one that needed professional expertise to close it. I've seen the scar (in a mirror) and know it was for the better. The arm is still a bit weak as
I found when trying to carry my purse and Steve's laptop bag on it
while deplaning (right hand was dragging a roller bag) a couple of
times. We had two flights out, two back, changing planes on the way out
in LVNV and inbound in Phoenix, both familiar to us airports.

Sounds good. We stopped for supper at a chain seafood place in Raleigh (first choice, non chain, was closed) last night; I brought about half
of my mustard potato salad and 4 (of 8) broiled shrimp home. Potato
salad was the best part of the meal as the shrimp were overdone and the cole slaw was a finely chopped cabbage and who knows what tasteless
mix.

Always good to get some input from someone who has gone thru the same thing. It's not an identical experience but will give you a first hand idea of what to expect. You had radiation light; I had the big guns.

I dunno. That machine I was subjected to was pretty big and had lots
of moveable arms and attachments. Rather like being in the midst of a ballet as it twirled and the devices on the ends of the arms retreated
or came near.
Yes, but you only had what, 5 treatments? I had 35. Same sort of
machines but the total amount of radiation is quite different.

My portable O2 unit is in an over-the-shoulder carrier aboutn the size
of a mid-sized ladies purse. Guessing at the weight I'd say 8 to 10 pounds.
You get the O2 in bursts; mine is a continuous flow. The unit is about half the size of my home unit but still takes up a good amount of
space.
And, as convenient as that is I still go, live and in-person to hand

Now days, though, I use the "driveable" shopping carts. A great convenience especially in a Big Box store.
I used them when I had my knee replacement and when I broke my left
foot. Handy, but my dad never let my mom use it--didn't trust her
driving. (G)

Partly that, especially as he was usually in front of her. For a while
she would hang on to the buggy, pushing it, but when that got to be too much, he'd sit her up front on a bench (local store, everybody knew
them) and he'd take the ride 'em cart.

I've not been to a Dead Lobster in years. If I'm doing "serious"
seafood out - I generally hit up Chesapeake Seafood House. chesapeakeseafoodhouse.com
This was not RL; it was called The Mayflower. We'd been there before, a few times, but found much better seafood elsewhere. Even RL is better.
Eeeeeewwwwww ... the Lob is sorta the McDonalds of chain seafood. If
they can't match or better that how do they stay in business. Our most popular seafood place is in an old gas station with a "cook shack" out front. If you want to "dine-in" there is a picnic table between the
shack and street.
That's the way to get it. Our favorite casual place is the seafood restaurant at the NC State Farmer's Market. You get a heaping full styrofoam box with hush puppies and a side, usually enough for 2 meals
or two people splitting the box. My favorite is a combo of shrimp and scallops; it's heavy on the shrimp but the scallops are the bigger ones and sweet!
Locally caught fish from Lake Springfield, Sangamon and Illnois Rivers
are offered for sale .... dressed and ready for you to take home and
cook. Or cooked (deep-fry) out front.

Categories: Cheese, Beer, Sauces
Yield: 3 Quarts
The beer would be a no go for me. I know, the alcohol cooks out but the hop flavor remains.
And is part of the flavour profile
I really like this recipe - but I don't make it often since I don't
drink beer at home and the other 5 cans of a six-pack take a lot of valuable space in the icebox.

No, I prefer them as separate items. I'm not sure what kind of meat and cheese McD's uses but I don't care for the way they combine with the
not so great egg on the muffin. We've made our own version from time to time, but I still would rather have the separate components.

I don't know if I could eat all of this in one sitting. I'd probably be able to eat about half of it; does anybody do a smaller version?
They offer a "Pony" version - appoximatel;y half-sized. I have trouble
Which means I'd probably be better off ordering something else. Egg,
meat and English muffin, probably but no potatoes or cheese sauce.

I like Brussels sprouts, most of the time roasted, with a drizzle of of balsamic vinegar and tossed with crumbled bacon. The only way Steve
will eat them is thin shaved in a kale salad mix we've found at Sam's
Club and Wegman's.

Canadian bacon (backbacon) and American cheese. The eggs are fresh
eggs steamed on a grill using an egg ring.
I've made several thousand of them in my time...

Mickey D's uses Canadian Bascon or breeakfast sausage as the meat, the cheese is "American" (mild Cheddar). The egg is just a hard-cooked egg done in a ring to make it round. The other fats food joints use
pre-mix "scrambled" egg.

I always figured they were some sort of dwarf cabbage. I like 'em
baked, broiled, fried, steamed, boilede, etc. Whole or halved. Never trie4d (that I know of) shaved.

BNot that m,any. I usually got my breaks after 10:30 AM which is when McD's switches to lunch on the weekdays. On weekends, it's 11 AM but
my manager would often give me weekends off because I was older and
she "had lots of teenagers to work".
