Friday Fun

Again, I thought that I would copy my CarePage to this so that I do not have to do it twice.

This morning started out pretty normally, although I put on my jeans on instead of shorts. I did it because I was going to my radiation appointment this morning and Kathleen does not like to see me going out in my shorts this time of year.

My appointment was for 1045 and we left the house at 1020 and got there about 1035. I cot called into the office about 1040 and was all finished by 1115.

They took more x-rays, drew more body art on my pelvic area, gave me my tattoos and did the first series or radiation.

They told me that I will start feeling fatigued, which should be interesting as I have felt more fatigued in the last few months than I can ever remember.

So far, this was much easier than what I went through Monday, but from what I understand, the process itself is relatively painless. The problem comes from the accumulation of the radiation.

I guess I can only live one day at a time and deal with whatever comes when it comes.

After my appointment, we stopped by the credit union to deposit a check and then we stopped by the Cingular office so that we could change our phone service. We went from a contract plan to a pay-as-you-go plan where we pay $.10 a minute and a dollar a day for the days that we use the phones. I calculated it out and it looks like we could save over $600.00 a year doing it this way.

We thought that we would give it a try; we can change to something else or another carrier at any time, as we do not have a contract that we have to wait until it expires to change if it does not work out for us.

After we finished up there we went to the library as both Kathleen and I had books on hold, and since the snow hit we had not had a chance to go out and get them. I had planned on going out to eat afterwards, but Kathleen was too tired, so we just went home.

I heated up the rest of the spaghetti from last night for lunch and then went into the living room and read the mail. Toni and Chucky came over tonight and brought us dinner. I am being called for desert, so I think that I will say good night.
