Radiation - Day 3

Well, we're more than half-way. Mom is so much more optimistic because she was so worried about side-effects. Thus far she was just really tired the first day and now she has a bit of heartburn so is considering herself very lucky. Dr Hoegler gave her a new timetable for medications that seems to be controlling the pain much more effectively except for in the mornings.
Today after her treatment we went for lunch at http://www.pheasantandquail.com/ - a very nice pub that is only about a block from here.
Then we returned the blouse that I bought for her yesterday and we drove around a bit, ending up at WalMart to buy a few things. Outside the WalMart store the Old Time Fiddlers were playing, getting ready for a competition. We quite enjoyed their performance for a little while. I was so impressed by my memory that my cell phone has a camera that I took a photo to share in this space. And then I forgot to save it. One more thing to learn.
Now I am looking around at all of the things that we brought to make our stay here comfortable and am wondering how many of them we really need to take back home with us!
