Radiation Week 1


I started radiation this week and I didn't love it. 
As a matter of fact, it caused a lot of anxiety --- which came with a lot of nausea. 

Which is maybe why I am seeing words like "barf" in word-finds,
even when they aren't in the list. 

On Monday, I cried during treatment.
On Tuesday, I hyperventilated.
On Wednesday, they started me on sedative.
On Thursday and Friday, things went a little better. 
Tomorrow, we start again. 
That's my poem.

Oof; sounds like a very crappy week. Here’s hoping week two is less crappy? I love you when you are crying, and hyperventilating, and being sedated, and also when you are writing poems about radiation. You are the best crappy person I’ve ever known.
