Radiation progress

There is really nothing new to report. This picture is of me being set up for my treatment. The treatments only take 10-15 minutes, every day Monday through Friday. I have had 8 radiations and have 25 to go. So far there hasn't been much change. I have started to "pink up" a little and my skin feels tight like you would have with a mild sunburn. My energy hasn't changed much - I still tire easily. I have been told that my energy will decrease even more the farther into treatment I get. Oh well, the end is in sight! I had an appointment with my plastic surgeon yesterday and he is looking forward to getting started with the left side reconstruction. We have to wait until the radiation is done before anything can be done, but then let the magic begin.

Len and I were able to walk around Art Prize in Grand Rapids yesterday for a few hours. It was really nice to see all the fantastic art that is in and around the area. What a great event for the community.
I am beginning to really dread the thought of winter setting in. I hope to be feeling good enough to get back to work before the really bad weather sets in. The days are really long when Len is working his 12 hour shifts and I would really like to be able to join him behind the counter a few hours a week. The only thing that I am dreading about going back to work is learning the new computer system that was installed while I have been off.
