Got a glimpse of the radiology map yesterday, showing the masses and the rad lines and strength levels - it looks like that laser system layout in that museum in Entrapment w/Sean Connery! I counted 11 machine movements with zappings.

On the way to rad sessions each day, there's one tune that keeps popping up in my head. And only at that time - "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah". But, I think "Zap-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" would be more accurate!

And I discovered yet another side effect that might hit me, as the esophagus is in the line of fire - phlegm. Enough to choke on and keep one awake at night. Great fun! I could be a thorough mess in a week's time, and hubby will need to scrape me off the floor and drag me to treatment each day. Hope not.

So, I've begun the baking soda with salt gargles, and will start the aloe vera juice as soon as it gets here, and not wait til the radiation has done its damage and I can't swallow. Just as I'm slathered in comfrey salve, even though there's no burns yet. The seabuckthorn seed oil is excellent in this capacity, as well. It's been used alone on burn victims and it works fast.

I know I'm due to put up part 3 of the Fana KAL and will work on it today and hopefully get it uploaded tomorrow. AND work of those 2 long-suffering patterns, so I can get them off to Cascade Yarns and onto my site.

And it IS July, right?! I didn't do a Rip Van Winkle and wake up in April?

Ya wouldn't know it from the temperature inside this house - 65 degrees. They should call it Global Cooling, not Global Warming. Am wearing my blue and white Fana pullover and 2 pairs of wool socks to keep warm. I actually thought about turning on the heat. In JULY! Of course, I didn't. I'm not THAT crazy!
