It seemed the luck o' the Irish was on me yesterday! All in all it was a pretty good day. I was able to get some food down the throat...yes throat...not just the feeding tube with out to much pain. Andrea had made some tuna salad for lunch and we gave it a try before using the blended and it went down OK! Had a couple of Inta Juices (loaded with calories) and an instant breakfast. For dinner I had been dying for a some Mexican food so Andrea made some smothered burritos and we blended one one up! I may miss the initial taste of food but I get the smells before hand and an occasional burp (which is strange) afterword....better than that canned crap let me tell you!

The radiation burns are getting going good now. A bit hard to describe. It's not really like your typical sunburn. Remember the stryrofoam padding that you would put on a new kids bike? Preformed. long tubular shaped? Just wrap around and Velcro closed. That's what these burns on the collar bones feel like. It's not really really painful, more a bit abrasive, annoying and scratchy...just all the way around the bone not just the exo skin layer. Weird. I keep lathering them with this burn cream I have been told to and hanging in there. What else to do!

We just keep on truckin'! One day closer to the cure!
