Treatments – Day 2 - Tuesday - 12/6/11

Sleep last night was better than the day before treatments started.  Ken did have a big night sweat.  Hopefully, he was sweating out the toxins, extra fluids, etc.  Let’s just say, I washed everything.  The sheets looked like the chalk outline on CSI (and he was fully clothed because he's always cold).  And the pillow, as a funny comedian says, looked like a civil war bandage.  “Better out than in” as ‘Shrek’ would say!
Radiation only today - 5:05pm appointment.  That gave us a chance to have a somewhat normal day at work/home.  We had a friend offer to drive this time that has been through a similar experience a few years ago.  It was very nice to get first hand tips and tricks.  Google can put too many thoughts in your head sometimes.  The clinic was nearly empty and quiet compared to appointments earlier in the day.  We got our new schedule until Monday.  Then we could go back to the 2nd waiting area already!  That was awesome!  Boom.  It was Ken’s turn and off he went.  I went to my normal peek over the shoulder spot and showed our friend what things looked like from the other side of the table.  We were in and out in no time.  Very nice.  I’ll take more days like this!  Watched a funny movie when we got home to have a bunch of much needed laughter.  Oh, yes, had to do our daily fluoride tray routine before we nodded off from the movie.  I’m sure that will become second nature sooner than later.
