Day #22 Friday January 22, 2010
Okay, it's Friday which means I now get 2 days without the radiation! Thats enough to make me want to jump and scream. Just 13 to go, that's music to my ears. I slept great last night, didn't get up once during the night. Again, I found it hard to get up but, after a few minutes I got up. My legs and face were the problem spots this morning. The skin on my legs was so tight I could barely walk but, I did manage to get going.I applied medicine to my legs and got instant relief. This problem is not from the RT. This is from my Morphea. My face was just as tight but, that is caused by the radiation. I also have lotion for that, so I applied it and also got some relief. Over night I didn't have any breathing problems from my saliva. That changes as so as I get up and moving. I had to do my routine of the salt/baking soda-gargle. Then I have a soecial med that I have to gargle. This is the side effect that I can't wait for it to be done with. Man do I hate it. I am home now and I am getting a little sleepy. This seems to happed after I am home for about an hour. Most of the time I can fight it but today I think I will give in. I have work to do so, I will nap then get busy with work.
Now for the serious stuff.
There is nothing and I mean nothing more important ( in sports that is) than the football game on Sunday.
I feel good about our chances and I think we will go to the Super Bowl. So, put on your black and gold and get something to drink. It's going to be a great day in Saints history. I think we are off to the Super Bowl.
Thanks for reading my blog and please leave a comment. But, remember this

Donnie,
ReplyDeleteThe Saints Won! And, I cried...
For all the memories of my life relate to that team. And, thinking of you & Kari, and this happy moment we share. Donnie & Kari, continue to hang tough, my brave & courageous friends, and after the Saints have played in the Super Bowl (don't you just love the way that sounds?), Donnie, you will be less than one week from the end of your radiation therapy, and closer to healed. We are all pulling for you, too.
Who Dat? You Dat!
Love, JO (& Kevin, too!)
finally got a chance to sit down and read some more of your blogs and really am amazed once again of your tremendous strength and spirit. After spending all day with not nice people at work i just look at them and go if you only knew.... But now i will go on with a renewed spirit and appreciate all of the little things i take for granted each day! Im proud to be related to you and have you in my life and my kids life!!! We love you (and the saints) kim and family
