Well I haven’t gotten Art, the SoonerRide driver that I like, again. But then I haven’t gotten the sob driver assigned to me again either! Friday I was in and out by 9:30, and my appointment isn’t realy until 10:30. Tomorrow morning is a longer appointment as I not only have radiation, but I have labwork and have to see the doctor as well. It’s the “normal” monday appointment.
I have learned the following things about what the radiation treatments meen to me. About an hour after the treatment I get hit with an overwhelming bout of neausea. Somewhere around two hours after the treatment I have the urge to nap, but do better if I resist it until somewhere around the 3-4 hour mark. If I do, then I tend to sleep deeper and get a better quality rest, whether in the car or at home in bed. 24/7 if I have to cook the food, then I cannot make myself eat it. If I have to smell the food cooking for any length of time, then I cannot make myself eat it. My appetite is more fickle than hot house hore!
On one of my knitting groups Cathy Hamrick, http://knitting-away.blogspot.com , asked if anyone was interested in doing a privit swap. So, longstory short, we arranged to swap 10 skiens of KnitPicks “ShineWorsted” in Sunflower colorway for a lace knitting book that she had. I had originally gotten the yarn to make my mother a sweater, then found out that mom didn’t so much like yellow anymore! Ah, at least now Cathy and I both get something neet out of the deal.
I started making dgd a pixie hat. I got bored. So now dgd has a pixiehat for a babydoll. I get to make her a babydoll now. Since I do not have the yarn to make a babydoll, I guess I have to go buy more yarn! (hehehehehe)
Mom and I are going to have a “Girls’ Day Out” on the 11th of September. She will take me to my treatment appointment, and then we will spend the rest of the day out together. Maybe we’ll see a movie, do some window shopping, deffinately eat lunch out, who knows what all. The important thing is, mom and I will spend the day together!
I have been all done but the binding on dgd’s baby quilt since before she was born, and she turned 3 last July. I am seriously thinking of digging it out and finishing the binding this week in the car trips to and from treatment this week. I meen why not, I am almost done with the darn thing afterall why not finish it up and get it to dgd this year for Christmas?
Well that’s about it for now. A big update next weekend, with possible mini updates before then.
