Ken was not a big fan of tattoos. So when Kevin got a tattoo I decided not to mention it. He told Kevin that he would take a belt sander it. Of course, he didn't. So as we were getting ready for work I asked him if he would take a belt sander to me. He said, "No, of course not."
I left school early on Friday. Thank you, Amy, fr doing my bus duty and Charme' for dismissing my kids. My friends really step up and help me out. I got signed in and waited for them to call me back. I signed some paperwork and got to put on a designer gown that opens in the back. I got to lay down on my back and put my arms over my head. Then they took air out of the form and it molded around my arms. They attached a couple of wires to my incision sites. Then I got another designer gown, open in the front this time, and we walked through a maze of halls and doors to the CT scanning room. I was a bit worried that we didn't leave a trail of crumbs (because I am severely direction challenged), but I trusted they wouldn't leave me to fend for myself in the designer gowns I was collecting. They brought the custom over the head where your arms go and I took off designer gown number 2 and laid down and put my arms back in it. Now it gets fun. They took my arms out of designer gown number 1 and got out a marker and started marking me on each side and in front. Then when they determined the marks and the laser lights where matched up they taped bb's to the marks. They left the room and the machine moved me through a tube and did its job. Then they came back in and they got out the ink and the needle. That is how and when I became a tattooed women! Then with help I got up, tied up designer gown 1, put on designer gown 2, and walked back to where we started. Then I got dressed and left. This took about an hour. I will start radiation on January 3rd. A lot of people will be helping me out during this time. I am so fortunate to work with such a loving group. This will all be down hill compared to where I've been!
Ken and I went out last night to see Burlesque. We really enjoyed it! Loved the music and dancing. Tonight we are going to Shawnee Little Theatre's production of Little Women. We are looking forward to another enjoyable evening.
