What a beautiful day.....

Praise the Lord! I slept great last night! I realize it has only been one night but I think that cutting my synthroid in half worked very well. Phew!

Also my new found love with gum has given me my taste back again and today I felt like myself again! Man I missed me! :-) Hurray! Sam came in this morning and tesated everything including me with the geiger counter. I had been like up to a 20 when I first came home. I was a four today and that was at about 1.5 ft. Monday was teh official half life so the radiation whatever is left is only half the strength it had been. Next Monday I get my full body scan andit will only be 25 % of its original strength. (Hurray I get to use the Chermistry I learned at 16!) I knew there was a reason I took that instead of physics! lol

So I had more confidence to stay home with Josh even though I still stayed 5 ft away or in my room for most of the day. Yesterday Josh stayed home from school and I just stayed away from him as much as possible. It worked out fine. He still had a slight fever last night so I kept him home today too. By the afternoon his hunger had returned so tomorrow it will be back to school. He is on an antibiotic so that is helping although he blows his nose every minute so I will send him with a garbage bag and box of tissues.

I missed going to bible study but I have the lessons so I am not too far behind. I really could not believe how good I felt today. :-) My friend Loo Loo hooked us up with lots of ready to eat stuff so I have been really enjoying meals again now I can taste them! I still can't eat much but that is a good thing. I don't need to eat as much as I was eating! Jenny Craig - cut each meal in half and put the other half away right away then eat what you have with a full glass of water.

Last night and again tonight I walked rapidly in place for a good 20 min. I can't wait to get back on my mountain bike. I will maybe try it tomorrow and see if I can do it. I can always just rest and then walk it back if it is too much. It will feel good to get some exercise again. I did get out and weed again! My garden is looking pretty good and the grass yard also.

I did spend a great amount of time today washing my clothes and bed sheets etc. I had to wash everything twice so it has tajken all day. I am on the last loads drying them. I can't drythe sleeping bags very quickly so I may be up kinda late tonight. Sam said he would check my room again once it is all washed to see where teh hot spots kind of are. So far it all is very low except for my toothbrush which I promptly threw away and double bagged. Just got my new one unwrapped. Hurray!

Well off to check the laundry! Thanks for the prayers and looking forward to another restful night! I can't wait to hug and kiss my family again but still probably anohter week to 2 weeks before that will happen.

G Nite all!
