 No, I'm going tomorrow to chemo. I met a really neat lady last week on Friday so I changed this week to Friday so I could see her again.

I did go to see Dr. Fowler, the radiation doctor. I had a follow-up appointment with him. I told him about my hands shaking and that they are worse than they were when I saw him the last time. He said it doesn't come from radiation but then again I'm not common. I figure if he thought it came from the seizure or the Stevens Johnson Syndrome he would have said so. He said if it continues to get worse or if I get a headache that won't go away to let him or Dr. Hahn know. They would send me for an MRI of the brain. He doesn't want to do an MRI right now because they probably wouldn't do anything about whatever they would find right now. I'm not sure how to take that. Remember how I told you it's worse when I try to do something like hold a fork or a pen? He said that's like Parkinson's Disease. I'm not sure if he's concerned that's what it could be or if he was just giving me an example. Hopefully it won't get any worse.

I got to see Deana tonight. She says hello.

I also told him how I still get light-headed when I bend over and stand back up straight. I also still get light-headed when I kneel and get up. He said that's normal. I'm not sure if it's from the radiation but I think it is. There's a "trigger" in the brain that tells your veins to clamp up quickly so that blood doesn't rush to the brain. He said if that's off even by a second then you'll get that light-headedness. He said mine has been affected and that's okay. It's normal for that to happen. But I don't know if that will ever go away. At least I'm normal in one area. LOL!!
