8 treatments down 22 to go

well, my brother is finally here helping out, and what a help he has been, I am getting to the point in the treatments where I am getting fatigued and irritable immediately following the treatment, so it was nice to have a driver today. I weighed in last Thursday and I actually gained weight.!!! The Doctor suspects i am retaining water due to the medications they have me on for this round of the radiation. I am now up about 5 pounds, and the Doctor wants me to continue eating as usual. That's good because i am becoming fond of cupcake pebbles, either by the bowl or sprinkled on anything. They are like fruity pebbles or cocoa pebbles but a lot better. After treatment today my brother drove me to my favorite music store and we played pool, on this new table they got in there. then we played some songs on the guitars and then I was just too tired. Well I am going to take a short nap and then its back at it tomorrow. We leave at 6:45am to be there by 8:15. Tomorrow my brother is going to be allowed to watch the entire procedure from prep to nuke. It only takes about 15 minutes but it should be interesting for him. In a spiritual perspective I think of how tired and painful my day to day life has become and I compare it to the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross, and I am basically a wimp. He paid the ultimate price for our sins and did it all in love. Well that's it for now.. thanks for listening to my head, Jeff
