I miss my TV shows

I went to work from Tuesday through Friday and it was good to be back. I am leaving early to go to radiation so it is not too bad. I do miss my TV. I got used to watching talk shows. Regis, Kelly, Rachel, Martha, Bonnie and Ellen are my good friends. I miss seeing them. Next week Ellen is going to have her wife on and I am going to miss it! If I wasn't so cheap, I would still have my DVR through cable.

Radiation is not too bad, they made it sound like it would be comfortable laying on the table but they lied. They make me stretch and twist so much I feel like a pretzel. My skin is not burnt yet, I get an occasional twinge of pain, but it is nothing. I also have this lump in my throat every time I eat something, but my Internet research says it is a side effect. Maybe I will be thin when this cancer thing is over. But... I do not want to be so thin look like the other cancer patients I see in the doctors offices. They really look sickly.

Today we are going to Mom and Dad's with Anthony and the kids. We are going to have corn beef to celebrate the Irish in our children.

Made it through my first day back to work

I remembered how to get there! I even got dressed and put my wig on and kept it on all day. I got to work and there were flowers and a balloon waiting for me on my desk and my boss brought in bagels to celebrate my return. It was really nice, I work with a great group of people.

I had to leave at 3:30 to make it to radiation, but that was good because I was really tired after lunch. Now I am just going through my emails and then I will be going to bed. I think before Daniel again!

Going to Work Tomorrow!

I am really excited to go to work again. I have not been there in six months! Not sure what I do anymore! Account Manager, something to do with insurance software?(Just kidding.... if you are an RSG manager who is reading this!) I just must remember that when I get dressed I should not wear sweats and my pink crocks.

I am nervous about not remembering what I do. When I get nervous I shop. Yesterday I went out for lunch with Joseph and came home after ordering a sofa! It will be delivered on Thursday. Thank God for that my parents will be around to wait for it! Sometime in the past few weeks my brother mentioned something about me getting a refund on my taxes. It should be a refund, my very little disability checks were taxed!

Today I went for radiation and there was a new guy there. All I could think was "oh great, a new person to flash". After that I went back to the oncologist, I told her I needed a note to return to work and she asked if I was sure about going back. Am I sure? No I want to stay home another six months and do nothing! She said I could possible get fatigued from the radiation. I decided I would rather be working than sit home and wait to get tired. I really hope it does not happen, I just slept for six months straight!

Well I need to go dig out some work clothes, and call my Dad to ask him to come and check on my furry babies tomorrow. I don't know how they are going to sleep without me!

Three down, thirty to go

Radiation treatments that is. Why do they call stuff like that treatments? It is definitely no treat. Every day I get to flash two or three people, depending who is in the room, and they make me lay on this table and stretch my body in ways I did not know it could go. Anyway... I must not complain, because it is really not bad at all.

The other night I had a great dinner with my old Lipton friends, and on Thursday my friend Rich, whom I know since I was 12, took me to lunch. On Friday I spent the day with Mom, Chubby and Dad. So you see I am definitely having too much fun, so I must go back to work. I do still get really tired at night, and just tell Dan to shut off all the lights when he goes to sleep. The other night he actually waited up for Joe to come home and I went to sleep!

I have to go now and see if we can make it to church, I have a half an hour to shower, get dressed and draw in my face. Wish me luck!
