Feeling better Friday

Well, since it has been almost a week since I blogged and since I am feeling better today I thought that I would do a quick blog.


I had my final radiation treatment for the week today; next week I will be half way through my treatments. I have really been feeling poorly for the last week or so, and just have not had any energy.

For the last couple of days I have spent about an hour out in the yard working, but I have gotten so tired that I just sat around for the rest of the day. Most of the time it was a struggle to just stay awake.

Today, I was feeling bad because it has been relatively nice out the whole week, nice for
Oregon in the winter, it has not been raining and the temperature has been in the fifties and low sixties. So I went out side and did some weeding, in the blueberry patch, I also dug up some irises and set them aside.

These are a different variety than the ones that I dug up last fall, so I want to find a place to place them in another area. They were getting too close to the blueberries and making it difficult to keep the area weeded.

We had some left over chicken soup tonight, Kathleen made some for dinner last night and put the bones into the oven to roast them with the intention to make some more soup, but when she took it out of the oven and placed the pan on the stove, it was not on enough and wound up on the floor. So I helped her clean it up and then washed the area rugs and a couple towels that we used to mop the floor with.

Well, I am tired again, so I will say good night and hope to have this much energy again tomorrow.

Well, I guess it's a good sign when I see your blog has been updated! Glad you are feeling better. By the way, that juice I got you doesn't have oranges in it. I was surprised to find out there are no apricots either. (Although it tastes just like apricots). Here are the ingredients:
Acerola Cherries, Apple Juice from Concentrate (Apple Juice Concentrate, Water), Mango Puree from Concentrate (Mango Puree Concentrate, Water), Natural Flavors, Camu Camu Fruit, Zinc Amino Acid Chelate, Vitamin A (Beta Carotene), Maitake Mushroom, Echinacea, Vitamin E (as Acetate) and Astragulus.

I got it because I thought it might boost your immune system, but if you aren't supposed to have things with vitamin C, then this may not be helpful after all. It has 1200% daily value for vitamin C!!!
Maybe when you're done with your radiation it will be safe to drink. I went to their website and they had some interesting info:

We love the green goddess. It looks terrible, but tastes so good! Hayden drank lots of it when he first started drinking from a bottle. I found the best price to buy them is at Walmart.

At our Walmart, they are located in the produce section near the pre-cut veggies.
