T.G.I.F.

I am always glad when Friday rolls around, especially when it is sunny like today. Not as glad as I am for Saturdays but glad none-the-less. Well, I had my first radiation appointment today. They did not radiate me (well they did but just a little). They took a single x-ray with me in the position that I will be in while receiving radiation. It is just for the doctor to make sure that everything is aligned and precise. My "real" first appointment is on Tuesday. All 17 of my appointments are scheduled for 7:45 am so hopefully they will not interupt my teaching. I was told that I would be in-and-out of my appointment in about 10-15 minutes. That is once they call my name. Today I had to wait 25 minutes for them to call my name. The technician told me that the total radiation time is about 45 seconds each visit. So it is like having an x-ray that takes 45 seconds everyday (M-F) for 17 days. They also told me that I would not be RADIOACTIVE. I would hate to glow in the dark!
