Oh my goodness, they are growing like weeds. They are about as old as my youngest chicks aren't they? Mine will be 3 weeks on Wed.

They are only 2 weeks old! Hatched on the 20th.

Hang in there @perchie.girl! You know you can do this and we are all rooting for you!

Glad to hear you went though that unpleasantness with your usual sense of humor intact.

I was on Pinterest today and thought about you and wondered how you were doing when I saw a category about wire art jewelry. Thanks for checking in with us!

My Simulation went well today....
While I was in the docs office today having the IV specialist "find" a vein a technision came in holding a sports bottle full with a straw... I siad Whats this? She said Contrast you need to drink at least half but all would be nice. Ok I said and sipped... drank down the half in one go.... The nurse putting in the IV said you dont have to drink it all at once... Ok I put it down... but then picked it up and drank the rest....

Tasted like water sorta.... and Iodine sorta... and kind of sweet ... sorta... the nurse said most people hate it. I said it had no taste.... Had no color either looked like water.

Once the IV was in the nurse saie the technision will be back. I waited.... and Waited .... and waited... started rocking my scooter back and forth to keep my legs from going to sleep... and waited. Yep a whole hour.

Then the knock came and I asked if I could go to the bathroom. 'Oh no we want that in there for imaging" OK.... It wasnt terribly urgent... but my first inkling is usually the precursor of I aint going to make it to the bathroom... LOL.

I had to strip... Robe didnt fit they came in and she said... it goes on backwards. Cant lay on it for imaging... 'nice if someone had told me' they all left while I swapped sides. They got me positioned on the table Then came the Insertion of a Tampon-like Sensor and something else.... I hate those surprises. They put targets all over me and positioned me according to some Lazar pointers. Then the IV got used with Iodine.... And Everything got warm including the ""targets"".... And they took the scan.

Wehn we were done with that I got to go pee.... and made it to the Bathroom.

Back to the CT scanner and repositioning for the targets to be certain.... and I got my tattoos. All done

No upset stomachs no need for another run to the bathroom. Yay.

Next appointment is next week on the 18th for my first radiation treatment.

Came home with instructions No alcahol No Caffiene Drink pleanty of water and Juices ... to flush the contrast out.

So.... it Begins.
