06.23.24 ANTIER: 10th radiation, Pollard + FP, drive home...

JUNE 23, 2024

JUNE 23, 2024: Well, now it’s a “day before yesterday, or “antier” according to Miguel! The big news is that I got my tenth, and final,  session of radiation done on the 23rd!

I also had a beautiful conversation with Dr. Pollard again, and he told us all about his fanny pack, which was from Cotopaxi, which is a “stratovolcano in Ecuador” according to Google. It’s also the brand of the excellent and very large fanny pack, which I want to buy one of! The things I’m doing for photos are my picture of Dr. Pollard with his fanny pack, and then one of me with Miguel too, who arrived with Papa that day. I’ll write about the drive later... 

I also learned that Dr. Pollard is from California. He’s a resident on an internal medicine rotation at the moment, and the next day #today, I had a wonderful talk with him too, though I want to have THIS page focused on the 22nd! Another thing I did was I took a medium-length walk with my nurse, Josh, up and down the hallway, which I wouldn’t have normally taken a picture of, but my mom sneaked one in! That’s also cool because it gives me something else to mention for the 22nd! The only other photo that I have from ayer is a picture of my nighttime meal, which was a very good Greek salad, which had the right fat count since I added a piece of chicken to it! I also definitely had a solid amount of fat I ate last night because I had some angel food cake with the meal as well with my meal as well (top left in the photo). I’m also definitely not even close to talking about the right days here!!!

Well now it’s days later and I’m catching up, I’ve got Miguel in a BeReal that was “LATE bc I was in chemo today!” Dr. Pollard with his fanny pack, and my nighttime meal, with the angel food cake that helped me reach the fat count! I never wrote about the drive, but it was solidly uneventful, with us sitting in the back while Papa drove us home!
