Guess who came home from Walmart with a smiley face sticker on the back of his hand. Yep, Harry did and he was proud of it. You can bet your bottom dollar that no one at Walmart will ever give me a smiley face. I always enter with an expression of dread and leave with a big frown and tired feet from standing in checkout lines. Not that I've been to Walmart since March.
Today was PET scan day so we had to go out to the Cancer Care Center which is a different direction from where I went daily for radiation. I couldn't believe how much had changed! A few stores have closed, at least three new buildings are up and occupied, and a couple of interesting stores have opened. I need to go exploring.
Speaking of the PET scan - it was the easiest procedure I had since this whole thing began. Last night I almost made myself sick dreading yet another ordeal but it wasn't like that at all. When we see the medical oncologist next Monday we should get final results. My burns are healing nicely. Not everyone has this much trouble with radiation but my skin just gave up. I had a couple of spots that were third degree burns. They should be completely healed in a week or two.
I'm still trying to upload pics but haven't been successful. Maybe this weekend Joe will have time to rattle Blogger's chain and fix the issue. On this note, I believe it's time for me to follow hubby to bed. I hope to wake up tomorrow morning bright eyed and bushy tailed - ready for a new day.

I often anticipate something to the point of blowing it out of proportion in my head. Then when it actually happens it's not so bad. I wonder if it's some kind of built in defense mechinism? Glad to hear your doing good - wish I was there to go exploring with you!
Glad to hear that things went well today and it wasn't has bad as you anticipated. Hope you heal soon and you can go out exploring!
One of the things I have learned from my husband is to ask myself "What's the worst that could happen?"
And it's usually always much worse in my imagination than it is in realty.
Glad to hear this is almost over for you! You need a big ole ,fun filled shopping day:)
