Homeward Bound?

Is it time to come home?  That’s the sixty-four dollar question.  I think it’s close .

I had my first radiation appointment today.  After a lot of set up, they did two 30 second radiation shots through my shoulder, one from the top and one from the bottom.  The radiation schedule is for two weeks, ending on February 12.  After that, I don’t know why they would keep me here.  The regular clinic is alway on Tuesday but this week, it’s been moved to Friday so I won’t know about checking out of this place until then.

Friday will also be the date that I’ll hear the results of the bone marrow aspiration from last week.  They should be able to tell me if there are any cancer cells left in the bone marrow.  This time they did it twice, once in each hip.  I finally took a sedative to make it a little easier but something went wrong.  It didn’t feel one bit easier and I was completely alert until about an hour after the procedure.  At that point, I was stumbling around the apartment for two hours.   I tried to use the microwave as a refrigerator.  It didn’t work.  I’m still finding things in weird places.
