Sunday - Radioactive Girl Day 5-6

We had a little bit of a thunderstorm last night. I've never been this close to the roof before during a storm. Sitting on the end of the bed my head is but four to six inches from being outside. I was cool until my head started tingling heavily. Yeah, I broke the isolation rule, I went downstairs and sat in the big chair across the room from Jeff. There was a good distance between us the only issue was the dogs at my feet but I kept my feet in the chair with me to help maximize the space. Once the major part of the storm passed I went back to my room. I'm sure I was just being a big baby but I've had a lightening experience before, I really don't want to have another.

So this morning Jeff needed to go meet a gentleman in Austin for some stuff. When he left the dogs were still sleeping so I got to play mom for the morning. Made the pups very happy. When they got up I put them out and then made camp in the big green chair as I had done briefly the night before. OMG...TV!!!! What a wonderful invention!!!!!!!!!

After a few hours of Mythbusters, the History channel, and the Travel channel my brain had been over stimulated and I was rendered unconscious for about four to five hours. I was out HARD! It really would have been nice to know just how many Mac trucks hit me but Jeff lost count after the first couple of dozen. LOL!

Once I recovered from my long nap (and it did take some recovery time) Jeff went and picked up some dinner from Jardin Corona. A little more TV, some actual in real life chatting time with Jeff (even if it was from across the room) and then back off to bed. Tomorrow is the big scan. Cross fingers, if this goes well it could mean no more treatments and only scans every six months or yearly. There should be a large butterfly shaped uptake of the iodine in the throat area where the thyroid used to be and ideally no where else. Tomorrow will tell!
