We have progress.
May 22 was last day of radiation treatment. Feels like the PMH staff are my friends/colleagues now. ha!
Went to neuropsych appointment yesterday, and had a battery of tests done. Will find out later if I have drain bamage. Today was ENT appointment; got my sinuses shop-vac’d and doc got a good peek into the sphenoid sinus- apparently it looks good in there, but healing still takes its sweet time…. my voice may be changed permanently due to the more uh.. spacious interior made by renovation…? I hope it clears up a bit, or I will forever sound stuffed up and I will be forced to become a blues/jazz singer.
Tomorrow will be my first day that I do not have a medical appointment since before April. This may call for some sort of celebration…. of the quiet, slow-moving variety. Sigh. I am still crossing my fingers and hoping that by June 15, I will be feeling oodles better. And since oodles is such a great word, I almost feel better already.
So, now i’m home, got my morning coffee at 2:25 p.m., and I was just gauging how i feel to figger out what i should do next. The result, I actually do feel a speck better than average lately.. i’m hoping this is because there are more days distance from me and rad and i hope that keeps on being the trend!!! But still not to overdo it just yet.. might do a bit of household stuff/cleaning, might take a nap (altho i usually never actually get there when i say i’m gonna).
So yeah.. little bit little bit i’m still not okay enough to go jump and play on the monkey bars (Ebby) but FEAR NOT I will get there, and hopefully in good coincidence with the good weather that IS on its way 
OK. Back to the Salt Mine! 1-
2-3-4.

Hey Stacey. Glad to read the update and that you have a break from treatment. We were away on the teaching trip to Ukraine, so it’s good to be able to get all your updates like this no that we’re back!
Keep getting better!

Hey Stacey,
So glad the rad treatments are over! I celebrated with you in my head! Now all you have to do is concentrate on enjoying this beautiful weather that’s coming our way and YES it will be warm, sunny and absolutely blissfully warm any day now so you just get out there and sing in your best blues/jazzy voice and embrace the beauty of this beautiful season.
Love Sheila
