Knifed

Got my first Cyberknife treatment accomplished and have number two this afternoon. So I’ve been knifed. And it is totally painless although still have this stinking headache. I don’t use “stinking” often but when I do I mean it.

So glad that I have the first one under my belt because the second session couldn’t possibly be as strange as the first. I don’t use “strange” often either. But this was a weird one. Sometimes I don’t think these medical folks appreciate what weirdness they put patients through. It is just everyday to them but when you have just driven in to the hospital from your own world of spreading fertilizer, fixing the mower and loving your wife it can be a different planet.

My Rebecca described the Cyberknife machine as a big white dinosaur. Maybe I would say a big white plastic dinosaur on seeing it really close up. Or maybe a big white plastic alien. And that is what the treatment felt like, an alien abduction and you know the part where they give you the medical inspection, that part. Poor me immobile on the table and alone in the room with this strange being that seems to have a life of his own. It’s moves all around my head and gets under me and in my face up close. Yike.

I think there was thirty five minutes of that although time can stretch when tied down to a table. Well, there you go. And I have to work on the music too. They have Spotify.

Yea, a day in the life of Felipé. And this morning off to clean out the guest room which is going to be occupied this weekend when Steve-O shows up. This is all part of opening up after Covid and I better get with the program.

get with the program loves, Felipé.

    Yes those Radiotherapy machines always remind me of something out of SciFi and I suppose that they would have been for something from say 1920.i don’t know when they where invented but my grandfather had Radiotherapy for throat cancer in about 1970 in the now closed Middlesbrough General Hospital so they had them then.i’d guess that they used it on my grandmother too, other side of the family,who was in hospital in Newcastle with bowel cancer in around 1976.i was only a kid then and can’t remember much about it.

      Kevan ~ yea, I am going to see if I can dig up a pic or a short video of this thing moving around. The use of radiation has been around for a while but the machines and the methodology evolves at, yes a SciFi pace. Felipé.

    In any case, isn’t it amazing that a plastic dinosaur that doesn’t even touch a hair of you can remove with such accuracy a tumor under your skull?

    Maybe it is because I am involved daily on these things that I don’t feel they are weird, but I definitely freeze in awe and amazement when I stop to think what, we, human beings, have been capable of developing…

      Spoon it out loves to you Cris! Yes, it is all quite amazing. But as we specialize more and more our own world becomes more remote from our neighbors. Sometimes it is hard to relate. Felipé.x

    I think I know about that “weird” feeling. Hope you get back to finding yourself soon!
