Poor Sugar. She does not understand why she is cooped up in the kitchen when I am within clear view in the living room. She divides her time between whining while pacing and lying dejectedly on the floor, scorning the comforts of her blanket or the rug.
Drew is nervous about the exposure part too. He worries that if he sits too close he will be affected. What happens if he accidentally touches something I have touched? Will he grow an extra head? Will his skin melt? I think he is relieved that he has school today and a room in which he can hibernate until this is all over and done. I know how he feels!
Today I am not so tired or stressed, but my skin is exceedingly dry and rough, and I am very thirsty. I take my thyroid medicine, still a bit nervous about that, but less of a wreck. My face alternately flushes red and then cools down - not a rash really, but certainly not from being overly warm despite today's blue skies!
Last night we resorted to ordering pizza for dinner, but tonight we will pick up dinner at the church. Rose cooks such delicious meals for the community dinners and tonight is goulash. Yum.
At least the nurse was right about the radiation not making me feel blicky afterwards. The only thing that bothers me is the bright red burn of my cheeks. They actually hurt and I am wondering if I have a radiation burn. Despite that, I managed to get stuff done around the house that I have been ignoring.
And I worked on my ministry file that was due back in May! I might actually turn it in sometime soon. Wouldn't that be great! The brain is re-engaging! Hope is on the rise.
