Back in the saddle again...

Or should I say back on the cold metal table again? Either way, my throat feels back to 100% after taking last week off. I started radiation again on Monday and so far, so good, although the doctor warned me today that my throat may get sore one last time before we're done. As of now I only have 3 more treatments and I'll be good to go! I am so excited. Today I had the tech take pictures so all of you (my loyal friends and family!) can see in pictures what I have tried to describe in words.

This first picture gives a pretty broad perspective of the room. My feet are in a large rubberband to help prevent me from moving and I am in a hospital gown because I am undressed from the waist up. A light comes out of the piece of machinery above me that they use to line up with my tattoos. Yes, I am the proud owner of two new tattoos. They are small and located in the middle of my chest.

Once I am lined up the tech leaves the room and a bunch of clicking and zapping occurs. The machinery rotates around the table a couple of times as the treatment is given.

As I've described with such endearing and affectionate terms before...here is an upclose and personal shot of The Mask. Although it may look soft and pliable it is in fact solid plastic. Once I am lined up and in place, they use the bindings on the sides of my head to lock me into place. This is me in my "happy place" or atleast that's what I tell myself.


So, as I said before, only 3 more times of this lovely gig and I'm done. The Mask will be mine when I am finished and I'm debating whether I should keep it or crush it to pieces! :)
