All the dead skin ahs peeled off my neck. It looks good. No redness. No pain. Left ear continues to be painful but less than last week.
Had a massage today but she could still not loosened up my neck. It is "locked". My need to visit my therapist in Columbus. Doubt I could get in with her before the wedding. Would be nice though.
Randy gone all day working. I couldn't get interested in doing aything. So bored. There is much to do but can't get into it.
Sort of sad or depressed, not sure which. Doesn't matter. The day is over.

Tuesday, September 7th
My radiation burn is fading rapidy. It is drying and peeling off. Keeping putting radiation cream om it. I may be ok by the wedding and not need a scarf.
Did alot of internet buying today. Found some leopard dance shoes for the wedding, I hope they get here in time. Found another wig cheaper on line then was in the wig place. Got the dog a harnes sfor the car, it will keep her from hopping back and forth. She can be distracting. Got her a dress and a coat for winter too. Yeah , yeah,I know, dressing up the dog.
Randy had chorus practice tonight. Sherry,girl from work,came by with a carrot cake and homemade applesause. MMMM. We had a good visit.

Labor day. Last year I went back to work this weekend. Not so this year. I miss work. I miss my fellow workers.I feel bad by putting extra work on them.
Mom and Dad took me to the grocery store, which I needed done. They left after lunch to go visit my aunt and uncle. Randy got home about 3 PM. See nice to have him home finally.
Watched a moive from the red box, Backup Plan. It was good.

I really miss Randy. He calls me so I can heaqr his voice eventhough I can't talk. Trying to rest my voice, to not strian it.
My folks are her to keep me company. While he is gone. Pretty much another boring day. Tried to knit some.
My swallowing is getting a bit better. Can use applesauce now instead of pudding to take my pills.
I am sleeping better. Less wakening up to cough stuff up. Gross huh?

The weather has really changed. It is relaly chilly today. Down in the 50"s. Tuesday it was hot and the driest August in all recorded history. So windy, hurts my ears.
Dog is driving me nuts, all she wants to do is smelly everything. It is annoying. Sniffing everything.
Went to library, got lots of cookbooks for cancer and on chemotherapy again. Need to reread some thngs.
Mom and Dad came after lunch. Watched football with Dad. Mom made dinner.
Had a nice evening.

Thursday, September 2nd.
Randy in and out today. Getting ready for a job in West Virginia over the weekend. I will miss him terribly. I will keep myself busy. Hoping to sew Sarah a purse. Do my chair yoga and rest. My friend, Jo, came by and we did some shopping.
Got my hair cut real short tonight. So it will be easier to wear my wig and if my hair falls out, it won't be so distressing.
Had a massage today, helps quite a bit. My neck is so tight and my ears still hurt so bad. Usually she makes my ears feel better immediately. Not so today. Just a dull ache now versus stabbing pain. So guess it is better overall.
It has been so helpful to have people bring in food. What a treat to just open up the freezer or fridge and nuke something. I will definitely payback the gesture when I am asked to for someone else.
Could not nap today but rested watching reruns of Glee.

Wow nothing to do today except rest and try to increase my fluid intake per Doctor's orders. I've settled on a insulated container with a straw , so if I can consume 3 of these a day I will be doing okay. I did manage to take an hour nap today. I am not a napper so it was weird but I needed it. Since I am sleeping only 4 hours a night.
I want to thank my husband for being so patient and taking me to almost all of my treatments. He never complained and was always there for me. Thanks, Honey.
The skin on my neck is really red and itchy. The cream they gave me helps. I have to keep it covered from the sun also. If I didn't mention it before the redness during treatment increases through out the week so by Friday your skin is so hot to the touch and "burning". I had to use cold compresses on some days to knock out the burning feeling.
Lazy day.
