First Treatment
Hi everybody! Mom said i, Andrea, could type about today. The first treatment went great. Beforehand though, we dropped our things off at the Microtel, Dad came down for the day to be our muscle – cause we kinda brought alot of stuff. We then went to my treatment. And for my first week here in Ann Arbor, my friend Lauren came down to help get me settled in with my mom.
To me the process wasn’t scary, but mom came back to the waiting room, for the treatment patients, and didn’t like what she saw. But i won’t tell you that part. it’s kinda embarrassing and yeah. So i have to wait in the lobby waiting room with first time patients and followup patients. But that’s okay, i don’t mind.
The doctor said that I’m getting 5 beams total. I won’t go into details cause it’s kinda confusing with the technical names and everything. But i get about 15 minutes of treatment a day. My mask is very tight and I have waffle marks on my forehead and nose, for over 20 minutes after. Tonight I have hot red cheeks and cold feet, but won’t really see any side effects for 2 more weeks.
On our way back to the hotel, we got a call from Ronald McDonald House saying that we got in. After we got settled, good thing dad was still with us to be muscle again, we went and got some groceries cause we didn’t know where we would be and if we would have a fridge or not. After that me and Lauren went down to the game room here and played pool. She won only because i hit the eight ball in. then we just played around on my laptop and now I’m typing the blog. that’s about it for today. IF you want to write this is our address:Ronald McDonald House 1600 Washington Heights, Ann Arbor, MI 48104 or email me at my address or call moms cell phone. Thanks
