I had a much better experience with radiation this morning. My left shoulder has been really hurting from being raised over my head during treatment. I didn't sleep well last night, and it will take a while to get back to normal. This morning they decided I could lay my left arm up along my head without hanging on to the bar. What a big difference that made. I told them I was thinking about not coming in any more because of the pain, so we are glad to find a solution.
Son Jim was my caregiver this morning, driving me in and walking to my treatment. It was a nice morning, and I felt well enough to walk, so I got some good exercise.
Granddaughter Jillian may be coming yet today to stay through the weekend. Maybe I'll have energy to bake some cookies with her and play some cards. That's some of her favorite activities anyway, so we'll probably be fine.
Love and gratitude......Linda

Take care,

It's a bright golden sunny day over here -- so I send some of that golden healing warmth your way. ... I wonder if a little gentle yoga would help with the shoulder/arm issues -- provide a little more stretch/mobility, loosen up the shoulder/arm, help keep the area well-oiled and circulation going, help keep any muscular/joint side effects from the radiation to a minimum... ? Anything to further your healing, eh? Besides, you do want to maintain your mobility there for all the baking and card-playing and hugging ahead, right? :-D
I feel so good about this path for you. I sure hope you sense that. Keep focused on going up toward the goal of sublime perfect health and well-being. And I'll do the same.
Hugs!!! and gotcha wrapped in that golden glow of healing love and peace and energy.

Jillian the "buzzard?" Oh no! Just kidding.
Linda, if you can talk my boss into giving me time off work every morning, I'd love to accompany you to your appointments.
Sending well wishes your way!
