Day of Rest?

Today is my first day at home, without travel for quite some time. I feel like there is so much that needs to be organized or fixed.  I just can't make myself sit down.  I'm sure that the steroid is propelling me along right now.  I will need to force myself to rest after this blog post.

Yesterday I called the doctor about Ted.  The nurse made it sound like unless things got worse for Ted we should just stay the course.  Ted was up in the night needing extra cuddles, but he did settle back to sleep in his own bed until morning.

The radiology appointment, yesterday, went smoothly (I guess).  It was a lot of in the machine and out of the machine.  The technician would come in and move me just a touch and then back in the machine I would go.  Something inside the machine would visibly spin and then I would slide out of the machine.  The pattern would repeat.  Finally, the settings were beamed to either somewhere within the June E. Nylen Cancer Center or to one of the hospitals (I'm not sure).  I had to stay perfectly still while all the settings were being sent and confirmation was returned to the technician. She then made my permanent marking for radiation.  I was exhausted after all that "stay perfectly still"!  I was unable to move my arms when she said I was done.  It was like one of those party games when you push your arms against the door frame, step out, and your arms move upwards like magic.  I didn't really think my problem was quite as funny.  After all this, what I'm really going to need is a spine adjustment and a spa day.

Now I should go take some time to rest.
