17 down, 12 to go!

Well, I was really hoping that my body would adjust to radiation at some point and the exhaustion would ease up, but it really hasn't.  My Saturdays are okay, and my Sundays are great though.  I cling desperately to my weekends.  There are some days during the week that I don't sleep the day away, but I still spend most of the time on the couch being still.  We have ordered out quite a lot lately because I just don't cook.  I don't go to the grocery store either, so it is pretty slim picking here at home.  Jim has had a pretty relaxed schedule at work and has been able to help me quite a bit, but starting tomorrow, he will be working the night shift and that is just going to blow our routine to hell.  I am pretty sure bowls of cereal for dinner are in our future.

The radiation itself is going well.  I have a red box burned onto my chest, but it isn't peeling yet and I keep it extremely well moisturized.   The one thing that has been a bit interesting is that I can't really wear a bra.  It rubs against the burnt area on my right side.  While going braless doesn't sound like much of an issue, it is.  If I go braless, I have to wear a jacket to cover up my lopsidedness.  Old floppy girl just looks rediculous next to fake perky girl.  Therefore, I created a one boob bra!  The Uniboober!  It holds up old floppy, but the strap around my chest goes down low, therefore it doesn't rub against any of the radiated area.  It makes my boobs *almost* level.

This is my 'uniboober' bra....for the girl that only has one boob!
