Yuck/Yum

 

Yuck: IV medication infusion.

Yum: spumoni gelato as a reward for the yuk.

Whew!

 

Due to various medical procedures/surgeries/etc. I have had 5 or 6 COVID tests in the last year and a half...all of them done through my healthcare provider. And all have been negative. This is the first "rapid" test I've ever done...and I held my breath while waiting the 10 minutes! (Negative, by the way...whew!)

The End

 Radiation is over! This is the machine to which I was hooked up, via an implant in my breast, twice a day for five days. It was a pretty unpleasant experience on the whole, but I feel incredibly grateful that this treatment was available to me. The radiation oncology team were all extremely kind and good at their jobs...
It is tradition to ring a bell when you complete radiation treatment. Pre-COVID days, your family could come in and sometimes the staff would come out and everyone would applaud the conclusion of your treatment.

I rang it once, all by myself. And that was just fine.
