Normal returns

Mary saw the doctor again today, this time the radiation fellow instead of the radiation attending physician. Man, Stanford has a lot of doctors running--scratch that--rambling around.

Anyway, the recommendation is that because she is feeling ok on the Zofran, she should limit herself to just that unless it is not doing the job. Then she can start with some of the other meds we picked up. Zofran apparently works best in advance. Yesterday, she took it after the nausea hit and that is basically too late to have a real impact. Being on the regimen today has brought her back to where she was before the first radiation.

For dinner, I baked the fresh caught salmon from Sunday's Farmer's Market and also baked some small red potatoes. Mary ate well and kept it all to herself. No more sacrifice baseball caps, I hope.

Marge reported that waiting in the radiation waiting room was just fine although it was a long session because the radiation fellow wanted to see Mary after yesterday's episode. It turns out that radiation gives out parking passes so we don't have to pay the $6 to park the car for about 50 minutes. Marge delivered yesterday and stuck for the whole program today. Thank you Marge! Tomorrow (Wed) Terry is on deck. I don't remember the rest of the week and Comcast is down so I am using a phone card to connect. Its slow and I am not about to go surfing the web on these supposedly fast speeds.

I, for one, am glad the nausea meds are working. It was a shock to see her system react so strongly to the first day of radiation so its good to see her more like herself.
