We've now reached the stage of radiation where the side of my rib cage under my right arm is sporting a second-degree burn. That means the top layer of my skin is adhering to whatever clothes or dressings I have on it and then peeling off in sheets. Most of you don't want to see it. It's kinda gnarly. (Don't scroll down!)Those of you who would want to see it? You're messed up people, and I like you. Nevertheless, because of this, I tend to walk around with my right arm cocked out. I look like a little tea pot (hear me shout).
The good news is that today was the last day they're irradiating that particular area. The bad news is that the area will still continue to "cook" for another three days. Then it'll start healing. But, back to good news, I only have one more week of radiation left to go and then I'm done. (Hear me shout: Hooray!)
I told you not to scroll!
