Mom had her first radiation treatment last Thursday.

Mom went for her first radiation treatment last Thursday, and even Tamie was quite impressed with the machine they put mom under. They lay her on a "bed" with her head in a cushioned holder so that  she cannot move her head. They have her put her arms over her head, and then she has to lay perfectly still.  It's a good thing that it only takes max 15 minutes, cause I don't think mom can sit still that long, let alone lay still that long.  Anyway, this building is like fort Knox. All of the doors are a foot thick and as dad says, it takes two grown men and a couple kids to get the bathroom door open.

Yesterday (Friday) she had her second treatment.  It's nice that they have evening appointments so that I can take her after work and Tamie can have some time off.  Tamie and I decided that mom needed some pampering before her appointment, so we went and had our nails and toes done.  Here are some pictures of her getting pampered.

It's not everybody that has someone do their nails and feet at the same time.
Here are her finished nails.  The look is a cracked egg shell look which you can't see here, but they look great in person.  We thought she needed some wild looking nails to bring her spirits up.
