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.
your pal,
Hanibal(a.k.a. Hulk, a.k.a. Chris)
