RADIATION DAYS LEFT: NONE!!!!!!!

I AM FINISHED!!!!! Everyone at radiation was so excited for me - these are my new wonderful friends - all gave me hugs and wished me well. Thanks to all of you for your kind and excellent care.


These are my main therapists - love these people:
Brooke, me with my certificate and sparkling cider, Brooke 2, Gary

This is my sweet doctor - Dr. Clark, who gave me a hug before I left. You are wonderful, Dr. Clark!

This is Liz and Vickie, my awesome nurses. They loaded me up with creams etc. to help heal my burns! Thanks you two!!


I'm a real "red-neck"!


Here is what happens when I leave my camera unattended! I am behind those closed doors getting radiated - they're playing! :)

"Self-photo" - can you tell? Dr. Clark is pretty tall and their first try pretty much cut his face in half. This one is a tad blurry - but he's mostly there!


The perfect end to a great morning - lunch with friends! Aren't they beautiful? From left around to right: Penny Bird, me, Yvonne Harrell, Becky Buckwalter, Pam Hassinger. Love you guys! I totally forgot to mention those beautiful flowers - from Becky. Thank you so much. All of you MADE MY DAY!

ATTENTION!

Hey - my intelligent daughter redid my poll on my hair - I don't see anyone voting! Come on people. ;)

RADIATION DAYS LEFT: 1!

Yes, I can still count - even backwards! I know that yesterday I was holding at 3 but they called me late in the day and I was able to go in for my treatment! I just returned from the 2nd treatment this week, so I only have 1 left! Woo hoo!!!


This is the waiting room - for waiting. The longest I have ever sat in this room is 15, maybe 20 minutes. That was yesterday when they were trying to get the machine to work before sending us all home. Sometimes I don't even make it to the room before they take me in to the radiation room.

Notice the lovely, warm, blankets in the warming oven! My fav!!!!

RADIATION DAYS LEFT: HOLDING AT 3

Saturday was a lovely day. For the first time in over a year, Kent and I were able to go to the temple. It felt SO good! In the afternoon we took a ride on the Alpine Loop and it was incredibly beautiful. Here are some pictures:


These were taken as we entered Provo Canyon.

Isn't this breathtaking? The picture really doesn't do the scene justice!



Before we finished the drive, we sat in a picnic area and read for awhile.



Then we continued the amazing sight seeing.



Look at these colors!



The picture just doesn't capture the actual brightness of these Aspens!


Before we headed back down, we went on a short walk along this beautiful path



Aren't we blessed to live in a place where we can be surrounded by this kind of beauty in a matter of minutes??

This is where I change. Behind me are the little lockers for my things. Notice the lovely gown and some hair. Can you see it?? :) [Yea, me either!]

Since this picture was taken - my head really looks hairier!

RADIATION DAYS LEFT: 4!

This is the cute receptionist, Jen. She didn't like this picture - I thought it was cute, but

I took another. She greets me with this smile, everyday!
