RIP 1953-2021
day 1 of radiation treatment was the actual simmulation...
Scratching head here. But the gals were nice (nurses) and the Radiation Tech was nice too.
I was in the waiting room about half hour before the appointment.. nuse came out and called my name... she moved to a consipiratational posture and talked low... "is your bladder full?"
"Not any more" having just made a trip to the potty.
"you need a full bladder"
Oh crap I thought... takes about half hour to do that again (for me) She went and got three cups and filled them with water... "drink these..."
"is that enough?"
'It will have to be.... I will come back in about twenty minutes"
I drank the water then filled two more and drank those.... Brain freeze....
So loaded with five cups of water I sat and waited. She came out and asked if my bladder was full... "No" I said...
"I will come back in another five minutes"
There is a tipping point with me and my bladder.... ONce I feel it I need to go or I go anyway.....
shamefull thing to admit... but the pad I wear is totally insufficient...
On the way to the radiation room she lets me know I will have to have a full bladder for EVERY treatment... (crap um no the other stuff) by the time I got to the room bladder was hinting... Yay.
No radiation today only xrays... They informed me I had gas pockets.... Well Duh... I been on a Black bean kick of late. Oh and they found my blue dots no problems.
Andd NO disrobing for the whole thing .....
On the way out I was given the radiation Diet.... SMH... finally got to read it and its a no brainer... but No fiber.... No Black beans... DUH.
Radiation starts tomorrow and I will show up full bladder, No fiber, and NO metal on the pants.... Though I may have to cut the sides so they can see the dots .... I am still thinking on that one.

and I know we are all thinking about you, sending well wishes and praying. 
) tomorrow!!
I was looking for a buddy, not a foreign national. 
Had I known they came in a variety of colors I might have gone for it anyway (at least they could've swam together.)
Two crappy nights in a row is no Bueno! 
One of them was just like a big yolk. One looked like watery milk. Two of them exploded like a milky/scrambled egg bomb. The last one must have been a chick for a while, because it was a big, black, rotten blob of mush. The smell of all of them was ASTOUNDINGLY bad. I had planned to make a quick dinner of scrambled eggs & toast tonight, but I think it'll be a few days before I can eat eggs again.
