Well, I knew it had to happen sometime. I finished the last of my steroid following my last chemo, I think I've caught whatever Ted is getting over, and radiation causes fatigue. No wonder I feel like a villain stole all my energy. I rested most of the day on Sunday.
Will celebrated his 8th birthday on Sunday. Since Will didn't have school today and Ryan had the day off from work, we went to Sioux City early and ate at Red Robin. After lunch we had a little extra time so we went to the mall. Will really wanted to look at the clock store. We compromised and looked in the window. Then we walked on to the book store. It was fun to leisurely look at books with Will.
I remembered that Mondays were the day when I would talk to the nutritionist and doctor, so I told Ryan that he and Will should go do something fun. It was good that they went somewhere. I was at the June E. Nylen Center for a little under an hour today. First I had my treatment. Then the nutritionist gave me a sheet of foods to avoid and foods that should be increased. It was actually rather interesting. While I was waiting for the doctor I looked at the sheet. The nutritionist came over and asked me if I had any questions. We started chatting about Ames. She graduated from ISU. It was a nice way to pass the time while waiting for the doctor. Apparently he had a consultation today, but it was still less time than I would wait to see Dr. Doddabelle. Once he came in he probably talked to me for less than 5 minutes, but he said that everything seemed to be going well.
As I look to next week I still have Tuesday, January 29; Wednesday, January 30; and Friday, February 1st available for rides. Rides to Sioux City for Radiation The nurse said not to worry if we have bad weather. I should call and tell them that I can't make it and the radiation will happen another day. They don't want me to come if the roads are bad.
