Dr. appointment.

So I went to my nuerosurgeon today. I have had more bumps growing on the right side of my head. I presume that they are more blood clots, because he took out the jp shunt while my head was still draining. He believes the same, but says there is nothing he can do and wants to see me back next thursday. I just hope I don't get admitted then, because then I will miss the prom and Rana's RFL. So we will see. Anyway that's all I have for now, but I will talk to you later. Have fun and live life!

your life,

I'VE BUSTED OUT!!!!

I'm home! I'm home! I got released from my prison today. Not for the best reason though. My nuerosurgeon sent me home because of my JP shunt. I am still draining, but he didn't want to risk the chance of infection there, so he sent me home. He took the jp out but left the wound open, so as he said," you might still ooze out." I was also supposed to get another dose of radiation today, but yet again the machine was down. Well that's about it for now, but if you want to hang out let me know, before I go back into the hospital to get my skull placed. So if you have my number call me, if not it's (858)603-8304, so call me.

RADIATION!

So I recieved my first radiation treatment today. The only bad part was the stupid mask that they lock you into the table with. So I was really scared I was going to get sick like I did everyday of my past treatments. Especially because this time I was on my back getting it, and I didn't want to spew all over my face( or choke on my own vomit like a drunk). I had warned them on Monday that I get sick from the smell, They told me " well were not prepared to accomodate for that so don't do it." And also they told me I shouldn't smell anything.

So I go in and they lock me down. It wasn't as bad today because it wasn't as tight, so I could actually see clearly through my mask. they started out by giving me a scan, to position me correctly, then they started treatment. It took 6 minutes. And I did start to smell that phosphuric smell. I just held my breathe and it went away. It started coming back, but everytime it did all I did was hold my breathe and it went away. It turns out I am going to get 20 treatments, and it might take a week until the bleeding stops from my head. (They planned to use radiation to stop the draining as well). So that's it for now, until next time get out there and enjoy life,

"Hello Clarise"

So today I thought I was going in for radiation treatment to stop the bleeding and draining in my head. Instead I walked into a nightmare!

So I walked, actually rolled into the office expecting to lay on a table, and getting zapped by the radiation. In and out in 15 minutes,(that's the way it was 11 years ago). But no, that is not what happened. At first they had me go in the room and lay on the table on the back. They said they had to make a mask, so I was like okay that will be easy. So then the soak this plastic fence like thing in warm water to soften it, and brought it over. They then molded it to my face, and locked the mold down to the table.( Click, click, click, click, thats all I heard). Suddenly My vision went blury and I couldn't move from my shoulders up. It was also hard to breath. So I thought to myself it will be fine, I just have to stay like this for 10-15 minutes while they take the pictures. That ended up turning into 40-45 minutes. It was the scariest expierience in my life. Even more then jumping out of an airplane by myself skydiving. plus I had to pee so bad! finally it was over!
I felt like Hanibal Lectur, trapped with that metal mask. Then came the best news. I would have to have that mask put on and locked to the table everytime I got the radiation! So hope fully I will only have to do it one more time. So I am supposed to have the radiation treatment tomorrow or Wednsday. Hopefuly it will be tomorrow, and it stops the bleeding so I will be out of here by thursday or early Friday morning. Steve is giving me his tickets for the Padres game. I already missed today's(opening day) game in a sky box These tix are right above the pads dugout, so I am not missing to great seated games. Anywho, more to come later.

Alert! Alert! Alert!

sorry I haven't written in a while, I kind of had a little incident with my computer. IT WAS STOLEN! Yeah! So it all started on tuesday around 4 p.m. I had visitors with me (the Hernandez family), and the nurse came in and told me that I was being transfered. So I packed my bags and headed to the new room. (MY OWN!). The son Angel carried my laptop around his neck, and when he got there his mom hung it at the foot of my bed. They ended up staying for about 30 more minutes. After they left I was tired so I took a nap.

I woke up and it was gone! I was shocked, but thought well maybe someone put it somewhere. So I called the nurse and asked if they took it to lock it up or something. They said no and checked around the room. Nothing! Nothing I could do. I was so bummed. It was a Christmas present from my parents. How could someone, in a hospital, just come in to someones room and while they were sleeping take there stuff. Your supposed to be feel safe and protected. So the nurse called security and I took down a report. When He showed up he asked "did anyone check around the room?" No officer I totally didn't think about doing that, oh look there it is. Like duh. So then he said well let me check one more time. So he checked everywhere we had checked two or three times already. Then, he says " well I doubt anybody would do this but let me take the report down." And to make me feel even more secure I told him maybe he could check the cameras between that time slot. He told me they didn't have any cameras for the privacy of the patients. ( and the thieves who come and steal from patients room).

The next day Michael Clarke came to visit along with Robby. Scince Mike has some hook ups with the media, so he is going to try to get through to Turko, and the " TURKO FILES". S if any news pops up I will let you all know. Till then keep looking for me on KUUUUUSI!
