Jen, are the last four rounds internal or external?
The current radiation is internal (six doses, or whatever they call it, six different days) - TMI alert:
think the yearly internal we all love so, only with different instruments. It's not especially any more uncomfortable than the yearly, though.
The actual treatment takes about five minutes.
The four remaining chemo sessions are via IV, you know, into the veins with the poison. Takes about four hours. I take crocheting. And crosswords. No pain, other than the initial inserting of the IV needle, which I'm fine with.
Did they get disqualified from any tournaments due to the losses?
No. This tournament was a "freebee". They were playing up a level to challenge themselves. Next weekend is a "Hall of Fame" tournament (not sure what that means yet) and the next weekend is "Nor-Cal" which is the qualifier for Nationals (in Seattle in early August). The week after that is COLORADO which is basically a college showcase. The juniors on k-Bug's team will be in the spotlight and recruiters can approach them directly. If they are interested in any of the freshmen or sophomores, they have to go through the coach. I don't expect much attention for K-Bug this year, but hopefully she will be ready for next year.
All that said - doctor - FIRST thing tomorrow. You must be 1000% healthy by the time I get out there.
Right on! A's win on Rich Harden's return! (Though he only went 4, and Halsey got the win for going 5 innings). DJ homered too. They're 4-1 since Kendall homered and the one loss was 2-1 to Santana.
Emmett's grumping about going to play baseball so late on a Sunday. For us it's not as simple as tossing on a uniform fifteen minutes before warmups. This means we'll be gone from the house from 3:45 until 8 (or 9:30 if we go to our friend's house). It's a longish outing.
Last game of the regular season, then our triple-A tournament (double elim) starts on Tuesday.
I'd be grumping, too, if I were Emmett. But I hope the game goes well anyway.
(And don't EVEN tell me you don't own a thermometer....)
Um... I don't.
Sweetheart, I love you but -- if you're old enough to live on your own, you should have a thermometer. (That goes for all of you reading this.)
Umm... I don't suppose an oven thermometer counts, does it?
Umm... I don't suppose an oven thermometer counts, does it?
Yes. When you reach an internal temperature of 135 degrees, you are done.
If you like medium-rare.
Umm... I don't suppose an oven thermometer counts, does it?
Oh! I have one of those!
I've never bothered buying a human thermometer because I can always tell when I'm running a fever.
Announcement:
My apartment reeks.
Analysis:
Dirty dishes in the sink + lingering litter box smell (despite having just cleaned it) + garbage under sink + 100 degrees = NASTYASSSMELLYAPARTMENT
I desperately want to clean, but I kid you not, it's so hot in here that I can't. I shall tackle teh STINK tonight.
