Well, I rested a lot during the weekend and didn’t get much done, but because I had the fever and all, it really wiped me out. Rest was in order. I had long naps everyday.

Saturday I had no fever all day, but didn’t want to push it. I did have a client to see to go over everything to do for his cats while they go on their Thanksgiving family trip.

Sunday we went to church and saw our friends/missionaries in Israel, and they will be here for four weeks. We had a potluck after the service and it was a nice social event. Most people rush home after church and we don’t get opportunity to really talk with people. I was glad I went. At first after having the flu and not knowing where I got it from, I was really considering not going to church or public places until I have completed my radiation since it knocks my immunity out the window. But I was glad I went and I will just have to steer away from those who definitely look ill. They shouldn’t be there anyway.

On Saturday I did notice a scabbing, rash like area on the upper area of my radiation and on my upper right back. When I went for my radiation on Monday, I showed it to the doctor and he said that, yes it was caused by the radiation. He gave me a prescription for a topical steroid lotion to apply twice a day. Oh boy! More medications. It should help relieve it at least. It does itch and burn.

Today I was supposed to walk Bert, but the owner stayed home because he injured his foot. She was going to have me sit with him which I would have done in a minute, but alas! My radiation treatment was during that time. I will miss him this week since I won’t be walking him Thursday due to Thanksgiving.

Well, I better get myself ready to get going soon. I need to do another errand besides my radiation, and then this evening, I am meeting my friends from support group at the Hearst Cancer Resource Center to continue doing the collage project for our journals. I haven’t even looked at mine since I can home from the retreat. Maybe going today will inspire me again. It is a fun project.

Tomorrow I start my two pet sitting jobs for the holiday, so I know I will be busy. A fun busy none-the-less. I am looking forward to it.
