2nd Treatment went well. I knew what to expect so I walked in, they were ready for me, went right to the table, put my prayer quilt on and they started. Still had a 'little' anxiety when they first put that mask on but after it was all situated, I was good to go! Got home and had some flowers awaiting me at my front door. My best friend Kim, who put together the fundraiser, had some flowers wired to me - also from her mom. It was VERY sweet and I miss her and wish she could be here (her and her family had a family vacation planned way before I knew when my treatments would be....she is the one who went with me to Stanford in my first few postings). LOVE YA KIM & TONI and can't wait to see you when you get back!!
Really tired today. Didn't sleep well last night with all the rain......PLUS, we have a skunk family living out under our little playhouse in the back and I could hear them 'frolicking' about 4:00am. I got up and turned on our patio light and saw one scatter! UGH! I want those little critters to find a new home! They skunked our next door neighbors dog the other morning so we tried the 'home remedy' of moth balls under the house...........the odor is supposed to send them elsewhere (I guess they have very sensitive noses and don't like that smell) so we'll see! I called a 'skunk' trap person and they wanted almost $300 to put out a trap (not kill them) and relocate. Uh, we'll try the moth balls first. :)
Besides that, just as I was ready to go to sleep last night and the house was quiet, I noticed this 'static, buzzing, high pitched type noise' in my right ear. Side effects from the treatment but it took me a LONG time to fall asleep and 'not think' about it. I hope it's not worse tonight.
Tomorrow is my LAST treatment - yea!!! Then I will have a 2 week, post-treatment follow-up and then about 2-3 months down the road, a f/u MRI. Can't wait for this to be done!!!
