sssssooooooo tired.................

So I realized just how much the radiation effects me, it makes me insanely tired. I’ll go get my treatment and on the drive back to the house I can feel myself just ready to pass out. As soon as I get home I pass out for a couple of hours and then wake up and eat something, then I try to do something around the house like clean or try to get on the internet but then I pass out again. I also found out the other effects of being on the steroids for a long time, like I shake a lot and my muscle strength in my arms and thighs has gone down so like walking up stairs is a little difficult but that should all go away once I’m off the steroids. The combination of the exhaustion and the steroids and with my vision still messed up it has been really hard for me to focus on anything, but I keep trying and I get at least one thing I want done a day, even if it takes me all day long to do it. I should be done with radiation treatments on March 12th so that will be awesome. Oh and my Mom introduced me to boba tea, and we found a little place on Alma School and Warner called Lollicup, holy crap it’s frakin’ delicious!!!!! Yesterday I had a peach tea with boba and it was crazy good and today I had a taro smoothie with extra boba and it was super-crazy-karate good!!!! We’re gonna go back tomorrow and I will either try a strawberry or peach smoothie, or get the taro one again cause it’s that good. Band stuff is going good we have four songs done and one with some lyrics done, two more musically done and one that needs a bridge. We cleaned the studio and took the fridge out and have so much more room. And we’ve almost got a name and as soon as we do I’ll start working on a myspace page and get some pics up and all that good stuff!!!!

It's been a week.

So today I had my my 6th radiation treatment, everything seems to be going well so far. Waking up hasn’t been to hard but still not fun and I’ve been trying to keep myself busy during the days by going on walks and cleaning different parts of the house, which has my body going all “What the Hell bro?!!!!!” and I’m all “I’m frakin’ bored, man!!!!” and then my body’s all “Yeah, well this shit hurts man, I’m used to being lazy!!” and I’m like “I know me too!!! But this will be good for us so shut up and do it.” So that’s been fun. I saw the doctor on tuesday and he said I could cut down the dosage of the steroids that I’m on which is awesome cause the side effects from the steroids are lame, I get all swollen looking which makes me look all fatter than I already look, and they make me a bit irritable, which I REALLY HATE CAUSE I DON’T LIKE BEING MAD FOR NO STUPID REASON!!!!!!!!!!.............................sorry, stupid steroids. So hopefully with a smaller dose it will be a bit better!!! I’ve been watching a lot of food network and the travel channel cause of the food shows that they have on there and have decided to try and find all the cool little places here in the valley, you know all the hidden restaurants that have the best food but you have to find it to get that delicious food. It’s gonna be awesome. I’ve already found a super awesome little pizza place right down the road from my house called Jimmy and Joe’s, it rules. The slices are HUGE and delicious. I’ve been searching the net and have a list of places to go, but if anyone has any suggestions or know of any places that I should go let me know!!!!

Say Hello To Sunshine, Wake Up Your Radioactive!!!!!!

So today was my first round of radiation, I got up at the lovely time of 5:40 in the morning and got ready, then we drove to the treatment center and missed the turn in cause the lights weren’t even on yet. I’m pretty sure I’m the second patient of the day. We got there early cause it was my first one and I like to make sure everything goes well. We sat there for about 10 minutes and had some hot chocolate and then I got to go back and wait in the second waiting room for about 2 minuets and then they called me into the room, I got on the table and they put my head mask on and beamed me with the radiation. Then I was done. That was it. It took about 20 minutes total and the first one was supposed to be the longest with all the others being really quick, so I guess that I’ll be in and out of there everyday faster than it takes us to actually drive there. The radiation doesn’t feel like anything, I kept my eyes closed but I could see a burst of light thru my eyelids, and really the only thing that went thru my mind is “So is this what a Hot Pocket feels like?”
