Fried Chicken Tenders!

Most of today was pretty good. The nausea meds seemed to be doing their job (very little nausea). Energy level was good - I even did a little prep work for going home on Saturday. The pain medication also did it’s job. Although the pain was still there periodically throughout the day, it didn’t exceed a “moderate” level - until after dinner. Then it ratcheted up from the occasional mild spasm to an almost constant burning pain. I think the severity is my fault though. I strayed from my bland low fiber diet and stupidly decided to fry some chicken tenders for dinner (I’m suppose to avoid fried foods). My issues started shortly after dinner and has continued throughout the evening. Lesson learned!

I still hang on to the day’s positive points - in addition to the minimal nausea and minimal pain earlier in the day, I completed my 24th radiation treatment. We were also able to enjoy an afternoon stroll through the local cemetery. I always find reading cemetery monuments interesting…wondering about the history of the person.

Tomorrow morning is my last radiation treatment. They scheduled this last appointment earlier than the rest, so by 8:30 AM CST I will be done with radiation! I’m one step closer!
