And the Beat Goes On....

Second day down. Yesterday, as opposed to Day 1, was, in fact, a breeze. And can I say how much I like the radiation techs, Tonya and Courtney? They are very cool and have a great sense of humor. It makes the whole thing totally bearable.

Today, I'll go to the Wellness Center in the hospital after my treatment. They have this great program for cancer patients (it's still very strange for me to refer to myself in that way!!!) where you can join the center for $40 for two months while you're having your treatments. Although I have a YMCA membership and love the Y, this is going to be much more efficient being able to work out right after my little zap treatments.

The kids are now officially out of school for the holidays, which is going to make getting to the treatments a little trickier than if they were in school. The folks at the radiation center have said that I can bring the kids, but the Graham factor complicates things on that front. If I get in a pinch, I'll take all three of them and put them in a room and let Wesley be in charge -- honestly, I think they'd be fine. However, since I'm blessed with so many wonderful babysitters, I'm trying to line up someone to stay home with them most days. Besides, neither Wes nor Virginia is keen on going and seeing the machine and where I do these treatments, despite the fact that Dr. Rosenblatt has invited them to come. Out of sight, out of mind, I suppose. I get that, and I can respect that.

Have a great day, friends, and I'll talk to you soon.
