I woke this morning to lots of snow. The Mayor, in one of his rare moments, declared a Snow Day. So all I had to do today was go to radiation. Around 10 am the phone rang and it was the Cancer Center asking if I could come in early because of the snow. Fine by me~! That way, I don't have to count down the hours.
So I got Ed and Ian up, and they dug out the car. Ed and I headed North to the Center and I got dressed for the treatment room. When they called me in Tina Turner was wailing in the room, Rolling on the River. One of the ladies went to turn down the music and I said, "NO! I love Tina Turner! Let her sing on." I did a little dance and Nelly said, "That's good that you danced, because if you hadn't no treatment for you..." So what did I do? I broke into the Tina Turner dance. We all laughed like mad, and cheered for the Snow Day. Nothing like Tina having your back when you're facing radiation. The session was a long one today. Full scan, x-rays and the booster dose of radiation. By the time I was done, my arms had frozen in place above my head and my neck was screaming in pain, but it didn't matter, because Tina Turner was still playing in my head, and my Rolling on the River dance played in my mind. What a great way to go into the weekend. Done with radiation before Noon. Now I can relax for the rest of the weekend, and focus on the final two weeks of my treatment. I'm one third through. I'll coat my chest with lotion all weekend and hope that I don't burn too bad.
Life is great! Don't ever stop believing you can reach the other side of a problem. Don't ever give up when faced with adversity. We are all incredible individuals with the capacity to exceed our mind's limitations. You just have to determine that you can.
Have a great weekend, enjoy the snow if you are in it. Tell the people you love the most that you love them
Nite!
Light and Love!
