Magic Mouthwash and White Castle's

It's Wednesday, almost Thursday already... I want time to go fast so I can be done with treatments but I do not want my summer to fly by. I am enjoying every second of this summer. I love the storms we've been getting, and the cloud formations have been exciting. It doesn't take a whole lot to please me anymore.

Treatments have been going well. Each day I go however I don't know how I will feel under The Mask. Monday was good and I felt so relaxed. I almost fell asleep. Tuesday and Wednesday weren't as good and I don't know why. Some days I guess I just feel more anxious than others. It is so nice having mom there for support.

It was Doctor day. Because my throat has been hurting, we had two prescriptions filled there at the Cancer Center for something called Magic Mouthwash, which you take before meals to numb the throat, and another one that you take after meals, to help healing. I asked the doctor what causes the pain... is it the radiation burning your throat, since it doesn't feel like the kind of sore throat you get with a cold? He said yes, that was right. He said that you can just swish the mouthwash around in your mouth but because the pain in the throat is centralized more at the left side of the throat and deeper, it will help more to swallow it. The pharmacy wanted to make sure they had the right concoction so we decided to wait until tomorrow to pick it up instead of waiting any longer.

Today we brought lunch over for Auntie June after my treatment. It is her birthday on Friday. We brought White Castle's (please don't tell Dan, as she is keeping that a secret from him!). We also had, besides the burgers, onion chips and chocolate shakes. Since I don't love the onions and pickles, I scrapped those off my burgers and let Mom and Auntie June fight over them.
