All done!

I graduated from radiation today. Yea! In fact, they even gave me a little certificate they made and each staff member signed it. It was very cute, and they were all very nice. And I did get released from the wound surgeon today too. I now just have bandaids covering the wound, and I can even get it wet. So tomorrow, I will be showering till the hot water runs out or till my leg gives out which ever comes first. My money is on the leg.

I am still having a lot of pain and discomfort in the tumor area, so yesterday they bumped up my 12 hour pain meds. I think that has done the trick. I did not really need supplement pain meds for a much longer period of time, and it was only after I was up a good bit today. It seemed like today that just standing hurts a lot worse than walking. I have not done adequate testing to prove that yet, but when it cools down tomorrow evening, I may try to go for a short walk and see how I do. It would be great if I could walk a little and build a little stamina. If only it were not so hot outside!

There are lots of great smells coming from my kitchen. I am not sure what she's cooking, but Jill has been downstairs for hours, and something smells really good. In fact, I fell asleep watching a cooking show and when I woke up I thought I was smelling what they were cooking on TV. OK - so the pain medicine is working overtime!
