IIRC, it started about halfway thru (I had about 35 treatments--Monday thru Friday with week ends off to recover) but didn't really hit hard until near the end. Your milage may vary. They may tatoo some
registration marks (small dots) on you to help them line the machine up better. They're barely noticeable tho.

Nice to have family close by to take care of you. We were in Savannah, nearest family (in laws) were in Florida but not able to do any sort of care. Church and work (Army) families were a help tho, Army was very co-operative about Steve taking time to take care of me. We timed my radiation treatments to fit in the time frame he had free after PT but before the work day started. He'd come home from PT, get cleaned up and have breakfast, then take me for treatments, take me home and be at his job at the time he was supposed to start.

We hasd their "Daddy" for a while, after his divorce he slept on the
couch or recliner. Currently he is re-married, working two jobs (one
part time) and his wife is working as well. They are trying to get a permanent place soon and get out of the residential motel they're in

I miss having a dog but neighbors have them so we can get our fuzz therapy. Our daughter Rachel has 2 dogs, both adopted last year. Calvin Drooledge is an extremely shy golden retriever; most of the time he
hides in his cage but Steve enticed him out a few times with treats.
Moose is a black lab, still in his enthusiastic puppyhood, doesn't like
to stay still long enough for much petting.

Very much so! Attendant at the rest area was a young man, probably a summer hire, who did fill out an incident report but otherwise didn't
do much of anything. Steve pulled out the first aid kit from the truck
to put temporary patches on until we got to the ER.

Sounds like all dogs that I'd get along well with. I've heard of blue
tick hounds but not beagles, must be a cross breed got them started.
Best thing to do with a shy animal is to let them come to you and let
them discover how harmless some people can be. Our Jenny-cat had been abused as a kitten; we got her as a full grown cat. She was still quite timid most of the time but did somewhat come out of her shell if she
knew her environment was safe.
When the chirrun get a new forever home for their fur kids I'm going
to hit an ASPCA adoption event and let a kitten adopt me. I'm nore of
a cat person than a dog person anyway.

Steve was probablu up in pay-grade by then. If he's been E-2 or E-3 it would probably have been a different story.
Depends on the unit, some are better than others. Steve was a Master Sergeant (E-8) by then. He always took me to my treatments in uniform
so one time one lady who was there with her husband made the offer that
if we didn't want to drive up from Fort Stewart (Hinesville, about an
hour away) every day, I could stay with them. We politely thanked her
and told her that we live in Savannah. Never got her name but it was
nice of her to make the offer to us.

My local Senior Center offers such a service. I had thought about
applying to be a driver for them. Their range of wheels runs from
"socer mom" vans to mini-buses on full-sizes cargo van chassis. They
off door-to-door as well as location to location rides but with no
fixed routs.
Same with this group. The town has a limited bus service but it doesn't
go to most grocery stores and no doctor's offices. The new service will take you anywhere in the WF area but I presume just drop you off and
you will have to call for a new ride home. Don't know, we've not tried
it, but I don't want to be caught at the grocey store with a sack full
of perishables and have to wait for a ride. The bus loops on the hour
so if you just miss it, you're waiting almost 2 hours for the next one. Not good for groceries!

of us. Since we weren't sure of what damage I'd done and if the metal plate/screws in the elbow had been damaged, we went back to the ER
there. Set us back several hours but it was worth getting checked out
at an ER vs an Urgent Care. I'd missed lunch and got out of the ER near supper time so we stopped at a DQ for cones before going back over the mountain for the 3rd time that day. Spent the night boondocking at a remote trailhead in SE Utah.

My Hy-Vee (currently USA Today's #1 Grocer) offers both pick-up and deliverry if I buy U$25 or more worth of grub. Which, given today's
prices is not at all hard to do. That's how I get pantry items and
frozen stuff. Fresh meat and produce - I still buy in person. But the delivery (even tipping the driver) or pick-up saves a lot of time and, especially, effort.
I'm still enjoying shopping in person but may try a pick up/delivery service at some point. Most of our groceries we get at Wegman's but go
to super big box stores for paper goods, vitamins, etc. Eventually
we'll probably condense everything down to one store but we're not
ready to yet.

Better to invest a few hours than to pay will *all* of your remaiing
hours by not getting treated/checked out. They finally convinced me
that I am not bulletproof - so whenever I have a faux pas (French for tripping over my own big feet) I go get anything more than a Band Aid "owie" checked out.

Good, maybe you will escape the heavier side effects. I had a much
longer regime so had more of the side effects. Right now the major
fatigue is jet lag from the quick trip to Hawaii.

Steve saw the cut when he cleaned me off and saw that it was one that needed professional expertise to close it. I've seen the scar (in a mirror) and know it was for the better. The arm is still a bit weak as
I found when trying to carry my purse and Steve's laptop bag on it
while deplaning (right hand was dragging a roller bag) a couple of
times. We had two flights out, two back, changing planes on the way out
in LVNV and inbound in Phoenix, both familiar to us airports.

That's how we feel. We came home with some Hawaiian treads (macadamia nuts--dark and milk chocolate covered, garlic/onion and Maui onion flavored), some shrimp seasoning and multi purpose seasoning. All old favorites from when we lived there. Also given some macadamia

Sounds good. We stopped for supper at a chain seafood place in Raleigh (first choice, non chain, was closed) last night; I brought about half
of my mustard potato salad and 4 (of 8) broiled shrimp home. Potato
salad was the best part of the meal as the shrimp were overdone and the cole slaw was a finely chopped cabbage and who knows what tasteless
mix.

Steve was rolling my portable (somewhat smaller than the home unit but still fair sized) oxygen concentrator and his roller bag with the CPAP
bag on top of the latter. I had my roller bag, purse and (a couple of times,) the lap top. Normally my load would have been lighter but I'm still regaining strength in the left arm. BTW, Southwest has different snacks now, an oat and strawberry mini muffin, Ritz crackers & cheese, Oreo cookies, Maui onion pretzel twists and almonds.

I've not been to a Dead Lobster in years. If I'm doing "serious"
seafood out - I generally hit up Chesapeake Seafood House. chesapeakeseafoodhouse.com
This was not RL; it was called The Mayflower. We'd been there before, a few times, but found much better seafood elsewhere. Even RL is better.

I dunno. That machine I was subjected to was pretty big and had lots
of moveable arms and attachments. Rather like being in the midst of a ballet as it twirled and the devices on the ends of the arms retreated
or came near.
Yes, but you only had what, 5 treatments? I had 35. Same sort of

My portable O2 unit is in an over-the-shoulder carrier aboutn the size
of a mid-sized ladies purse. Guessing at the weight I'd say 8 to 10 pounds.

Partly that, especially as he was usually in front of her. For a while
she would hang on to the buggy, pushing it, but when that got to be too much, he'd sit her up front on a bench (local store, everybody knew
them) and he'd take the ride 'em cart.

seafood out - I generally hit up Chesapeake Seafood House. chesapeakeseafoodhouse.com
This was not RL; it was called The Mayflower. We'd been there before, a few times, but found much better seafood elsewhere. Even RL is better.
Eeeeeewwwwww ... the Lob is sorta the McDonalds of chain seafood. If
they can't match or better that how do they stay in business. Our most popular seafood place is in an old gas station with a "cook shack" out front. If you want to "dine-in" there is a picnic table between the
shack and street.
That's the way to get it. Our favorite casual place is the seafood restaurant at the NC State Farmer's Market. You get a heaping full styrofoam box with hush puppies and a side, usually enough for 2 meals
or two people splitting the box. My favorite is a combo of shrimp and scallops; it's heavy on the shrimp but the scallops are the bigger ones and sweet!
Locally caught fish from Lake Springfield, Sangamon and Illnois Rivers
are offered for sale .... dressed and ready for you to take home and
cook. Or cooked (deep-fry) out front.

Sounds like a place worthy of our patronage. (G)
I dunno. That machine I was subjected to was pretty big and had lots
of moveable arms and attachments. Rather like being in the midst of a ballet as it twirled and the devices on the ends of the arms retreated
or came near.
Yes, but you only had what, 5 treatments? I had 35. Same sort of
machines but the total amount of radiation is quite different.
Diffrent strokes .... Hopefully I'm done with that. Fortunately there
wre no major side effects.

My portable O2 unit is in an over-the-shoulder carrier aboutn the size
of a mid-sized ladies purse. Guessing at the weight I'd say 8 to 10 pounds.
You get the O2 in bursts; mine is a continuous flow. The unit is about half the size of my home unit but still takes up a good amount of
space.
How long is your battery good for on continuous flow? My portables are good for 4 - 5 hours on 3 liters. Continuous, I am told, takes more
power than "pulsed". I don't care so long as it works. And it's
waaaaaay more convenient than wrestling O2 cylinders into and out of
the car.

Partly that, especially as he was usually in front of her. For a while
she would hang on to the buggy, pushing it, but when that got to be too much, he'd sit her up front on a bench (local store, everybody knew
them) and he'd take the ride 'em cart.
I remember at one of the pinics Dale Shipp remarked that he often used
the grocery trolley as a walker in place of a regular walking frame.

Makes me wish we had something like that here.

I really don't recall exactly off the top of my head. I know when we
flew out to Vancouver (flight to toronto, then 2nd one to Vancouver),
we were asked if the battery would last the length of the flight and we told them "yes". Didn't need the machine in flight but it had to fly in the cabin, just in case........ And yes, we've a friend who goes thru several cylinders a day now. He doesn't get out much any more.

That's basically what she did also but it got to be too much for dad to try to keep her from trying to wander (dementia) while he was shopping. With her sitting up front, if she started to wander, one of the
cashiers would gently guide her back to her seat.

Some years ago we headed over to this place after working all day at a sewing/quilting expo. It was crowded and loud; I wanted someplace quiet
so we ended up elsewhwere.
