Feb 22 - Goodnight

I felt well again today. I think even my feet felt just a tiny bit better – although they are bothering me at this moment.

I spoke to the radiologist this morning. She asked if I was suffering from headaches or throwing up all the time. That rather took me aback. I should have asked, “Should I?” But I answered in the negative. She said to call her office Friday morning and set up an appointment. She wants me to start radiation treatment on Monday.

After our conversation I felt a headache and then mild nausea. But I recovered quickly and told myself to get back to normal – whatever that is these days.

I know someone at a client site whose husband has Lymphoma and he just started his radiation treatments. She said, he said, it’s pretty uneventful. The radiologist said I’ll get 14 or 15 treatments five days a week. I wonder how she will determine whether I get 14 or 15 treatments. She said it should only take about 40 minutes for each treatment.

A asked her how many IQ points I was going to loose. She said not too many. I told her I didn’t really have any IQ points to spare. Have you noticed that medical people have virtually no sense of humor?

Those who know me, I have a hobby of determining people’s personality traits related to birth order. I rank people into First Borns, Second Borns, and all others. I am a First Born. My oncologist is a First Born. I would guess that my radiologist is a second born or further down the list. I’ll ask her when I see her on Monday.

The birth order theory is not mine. I picked it up from a sales course I took and the instructor got it from someone else. I checked Amazon and there are several books on it.

Anyway, it looks like there will be no road trips until I get through with my radiation treatments.

At my office the tech brought my computer back and I can now read my office email again. I am really pleased I decided to put a RAID 1 system into it. I didn’t loose a thing. Sweet.

Time to hit the hay.
