RAI - Day 8 hour 23

My parents are now gone for the weekend. We managed to get a walk in this morning, to 7-11 again, but their lotto machine was down. My dad said his legs felt fine for the whole trek. I'm glad he is getting more comfortable with his recovery schedule and activities. He said he also feels more confident about his condition and what he needs to do, still not happy with the dietary chances he has had to make, but at least his attitude about everything is improving.

As for me, I'm tired of being 'radioactive.' I think it is finally Ok for me to hug people again, stand next to them, and not change/wash my bed linens every day. I'm still careful about doing my own dishes and making sure whatever needs to go down the kitchen drain does, but I'm being careful about not getting anything other than what I'm going to chew and swallow in my mouth, so I pull out all the fish bones, etc. before I start to eat so my saliva doesn't get on it. I probably don't even need to be that vigilant about it anymore, but I'd rather err on the safe side than throw out anything radioactive.

My energy level has been pretty good so far today, but I don't want to push it this evening. I know, it's a Friday evening and I've got no responsibilities whatsoever so I should be out and about, but I think I'm going to stay in and enjoy being by myself. I'd really like to get up early tomorrow morning and go for a walk then for breakie somewhere close to the beach. We'll see how that goes.

My friend, Jen, sent me some books to read. I started to read 'The Hunger Games' last night, and it is quite interesting. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend!
