Day 2 Radiation- January 10, 2023

January 10, 2023

12:30am-  Took my pain killer 

4:30am- Had such a weird Dream. The beginning was beautiful were Steve and I were on a boat and I was at the bow with dolphins 🐬 jumping so high that one of them almost went on our boat. I was trying to capture photos when I accidentally fell in. I swam to the back of the boat to the ladder when Steve grabbed one of my arms to put it on the bottom railing thinking I was ok to come up on my own. He then had to tend to the boat since there was a big ship he was trying to prevent hitting. I never realized how weak I was and I was asking Steve to help me up. There was so much noise around us. All of a sudden, I felt something in the water nibbling on my toes. I was desperately trying to get out and crying to Steve to help. Wasn’t sure what was going to remain of my foot. Guess I won’t know because I then woke up. Weird! 

6:30am- I didn’t sleep good last night even after taking Tramadol. It seems like the headaches increase but apparently that can happen after radiation. Always feel nauseous.  Hopefully the steroids help. 

I weighed 101 pds today. 

Today was a better day since I took the steroids. I managed to retain all my meals and my headaches weren’t too bad. Hoping the steroids and radiation make me steel better.

3:30pm-  we for Day 2 of the radiation. The only thing uncomfortable is that tight mask. It is creating a sore on the top of  the nose and the back of my head. They unfortunately can’t do anything. I am going to ask if I can put a bandage on my nose tomorrow. 

Well again, Steve had to listen to me barfing in the bag. He is so compassionate and care. We Jen I go home, I just wanted to sleep. I will be up to receive everyone’s prayers at 7pm. 

5:00pm - Took Zofran at 5pm to settle my stomach. 

7:00pm- Brought up since my stomach hasn’t settle yet. 

8:00pm- Took a paint killer. I have a slight headache. 

 Went to bed at 9:30pm. Nighty night.
