Resting...

I am coming to the end of my radiation treatments with just 4 more days to go. My skin is getting burned pretty bad now and my clothes hurt to wear. A big giant t shirt is preferred. I see the doctor tomorrow and I was told he will give me some medication for my skin. So far, I have just used pure aloe vera and cortisone 10 with aloe for the itching. It is like having a really bad sunburn.
Unfortunately this last week has been coupled with a bad cold, so I am pretty much out of commission. I have mostly been sleeping.
I had planned to plant my garden with veggies & herbs on Sunday, but did not feel well enough to do it. So.. Chris worked for hours out there, tilling, pulling weeds, mixing new soil in and planting my garden for me :) What a great husband I have!
At first I wanted to wait because I did not want to miss the planting process because I was "too sick". It is always so therapeutic for me to plant the garden. But, I told myself " I will have plenty of time to work in my garden". Instead I just hung out and slept on the swing and kept Chris company.
It was a beautiful day!
