Day#16 Wednesday January 13,2010
I found this picture of THE MASK at work. This not me but, this is how you are fitted each day for RT. Keep in mind that this is not like a fishing net. This is are hard as rock and will not move 1 mm when attached and you are clamped down to table.
Treatment was at 11am this morning. I left home at 10:30 and got there at 10:52. That drive is so sweet when there is no traffic. I was one of only about 4 people in the wating area when I arrived. I got me a magazine , read the cover and put it down. I was going to get me a little shut eye if I have a few minutes. I put my head back, adjusted my SAINTS cap, and closed my eyes.I think I was there for about 30 seconds when the nurse called my name. I jumped up and headed for the RT room. I could have slept for hours. My meds that I take to help me sleep are finally working as they should be. I may have to cut down on the amount I take. Treatment was quick and easy again today. They did put the mask on very tight again but, I am getting used to that now so no big deal.I went right to sleep when the techs left the room. Next thing I know, there are taking the mask off and saying " That's it, you're done!". Music to my ears. At this point I have no idea what time it is. I had left my phone in the car and had no watch. When I got in the car , the clock said 11:32 am. WOW , that really was a quick treatment. I came home and now doing some much needed work.My throat is still my biggest problem to deal with. I have been drinking a little whole milk the past couple of days. The doctor said this is something many of the patients try. So, I wi try it and see wat happens. So far, I can handle it.
You know what else I can handle????? Day #16 DONE and 19 To Go.
