3. I got my stitches out today. I have to wait
Tue May 27, 2014, 10:21 PM
May 2014

to begin my radiation. I want to start it now and at the same time I dread it.

The stitches stayed in a little too long and they had to cut me a couple of times to get them.

I really wanted to scream at them but they (the doctors) have been wonderful otherwise.

I was just so tired of the pain. It's been a constant.

I mostly feel...I dunno...sorta like limbo, I guess.

Got another caregiver coming in on the 30th. My mother-in-law. She used to be a nurse.

My sister, who also was in nursing, just left.

In a few weeks my cousin, another long-term care provider, will be coming to stay a couple of weeks.

I guess I'm lucky. I'm torn though. I feel the need to play host when the last thing I want to do is play host.

I also don't want to be anyone's project....if that makes sense.

I guess I'm just whining.

Thanks for listening!
