Emu Oil


Here's that pic of Cannon walking. He rocks, and he has a Bob Marley shirt from Uncle Amos. What's cooler than that?

Week three is done, nearing halfway!! I'm starting to burn I think. I can feel some pain under my left arm, but its not bad. I had someone tell me the other day that when they had radiation, they used emu oil on their skin and they didn't burn. Interesting... The thing is, everyone's radiation is different. Part of mine is aimed at lymph nodes right under the skin, so more likely to burn. I have people telling me that if I slather lotion on of this sort or that sort then I won't burn. Ok, I'm willing to try it all, but I'm thinking if the dr. says I will burn, its probably going to happen. Emu oil? I don't know... And what is emu oil anyway? What part of the emu is "oil" coming from? Do I want to know? Cannon has drool and some really sweet snot that could be called "oil."

I definitely hit an energy wall about 7-8 depending on the day. Tonight I feel pretty good, but Tuesday I fell asleep sitting up on the couch about 7. My mom being here this week was great for Brent and I. I was exhausted from all of this zapping, and Brent just started working 10+ hour days, so he wasn't full of energy either.

I have hair on my head growing at a steady pace, there are even a few brown hairs. They are very few, but they're there. I have had more conversations about my hair in the last week then I think I've ever had in my life. Probably most of them are initiated by me, I would like to go back to blending into the crowd. I mainly would like my eyebrows and lashes back, as I've mentioned numerous times before. I lost an eyelash today, just fell out, no reason. I'm down to like 4 on that side. My left eyebrow literally has like 5-6 hairs. Total. Countable eyebrow hair that's what I have. The right side has a few more, I'm not going to count them because I can then believe that there are still too many to count. Seriously though, go find a mirror and look in the mirror at an eyebrow. Pick out five hairs that you like, and imagine what it would look like if you pulled all the rest. Again, I don't base a lot on appearance, and there are way better things to complain about than eyebrow hair, but its consuming my thoughts today. Then I look at Carolyn (Brent's cousin) on her blog and she has a picture of herself at 20 weeks pregnant. She's beautiful, wearing her own jeans, has eyebrows, I'm totally jealous. Not of the pregnant part, I hated being pregnant, but the rest of it. :) I'm shallow.

Sorry about the venting, it sounds like I had a bad day, but I really didn't, the complaining was amongst laughter. I'm thrilled to have the weekend with the cute little guys. They're just awesome and getting big amazingly fast. The weeks fly by with them around. Its surprising that week 3 is done.

Oh and DeAnn, still on puzzle #3. The rest of it is all one color so everyone else has quit. Its up to me, I'm not scared.

Still swimming and haven't drowned yet!(maybe went under once)Or thought you did. Good for you! Halfway is getting close!
You are right everyone is different about burning! You will burn but pain can be avoided, as you found out!

Hey Mo! I love Amos's picture, but I am wondering where the L.A. Gear's are to go with the "stylin" jeans? Cannon looks so big walking! They grow so fast. I remember when Austin finally walked, and now he turned 11 last week....oh it goes to fast! I am so glad you are about done with all of this! You have been so strong and should be so proud of yourself! It was a joy to talk to you this week, I have missed your voice and how much you brighten my day! Praise for your awesome family once again! How cool it is to have them, and I know they are so excited to help you guys through this! When you want a break from all of "it", bring your family out here with us to the middle of "no-where". I am so glad that you have this blog to vent, how nice to get it all out. By the way...their is nothing shallow about you!! You are just a normal person..except you ROCK! Good luck with the puzzles this week, would love to see a picture:)

Talk to you soon
Love and Prayers....Rachel
