not much about anything

Almost through with the drops for my eye. One more follow up appointment on Nov. 3rd? The drops i'm taking are steroids and an antinflammatory.

No bugs have surfaced yet.

Mom is healing well, barely thinks of the surgery. The question is do we go with radiation treatments. Everyone seems on the fence about this. Her surgeon wants us to see a radiologist but kind of waves her hand in a yes/no gesture about weather we should do it. My brother leans toward no, my aunt (mom's sister) and i are on the fence.

Summer and the drought, ended when the rains from "Nate" soaked us over the weekend. It's still on the warm side for October; I'm listening to crickets at 4AM on October 13, but it's fall now.

From what I've read, to start with radiation has no effects but it builds up over the course of the treatments - something like everyday for seven weeks. Nausea and that general ill and run down feeling along with possible burns on the treatment spot. Still much less worse than chemo is supposed to be. The surgeon said that mom's cancer is an aggressive type and not treatable with hormones. Yeah, it's good they forget but when my mom gets a headache, she thinks she's always had a headache because she down't remember being well. six or seven weeks of a sick stomach is an eternity even if you remember otherwise.
