Praise the Lord!

Yes David, I am finished.
My Rad OC said that the radiation will be active (or affect me) for about 2 months!


I do have the thick mucus, and stringy saliva. Not sleeping well, as my sinuses are congested at nite. The back upper part of my throat feels like it is blistered and pealing. My neck looks like a wrinkled 80 year old's (I am 55), and it is burnt to almost black and starting to peel.

Barely can drink a swallow of water, but am doing so. Still stretching my mouth as much as I can, but I feel it is a little tighter. Most things smell weird, and some things smell bad and some are still ok.

I hope my smell, taste, and saliva glands return... someday..

But, It is over and I am still alive. My lovely bride has been helping me a lot (when I let her), but I guess I don't want her to think I am an invalid.
Thank you sugar dumplin'
