Another Good Day - Hey the mask was actually comfortable today, if a mask can ever be "comfortable". It seems like it's taking less and less time to get me positioned on the table and in alignment every day. I know in the beginning they fussed and fretted for what seemed like 10 minutes before rads actually began; now it seems like 2 minutes and that cute little RT is saying "okay hun see you in a few". In fact all the women at the clinic seem to call me "honey". Don't burst my bubble, let me enjoy it just a little longer before telling me they call all the men honey.

So, rads go smoothly, then off to the dentist who gave me samples of Mucotrol (concentrated oral gel wafers). Then it's off to get another 80 sheets of foam insulation for my house. Beautiful weather outside, sunny and high of 73. I actually wore shorts to work this afternoon. More work means the mouth doesn't hurt as much. Drank a lot of water while working.

But in the Zen nature of life a little pain must come. I think maybe I'm beginning to get trismus. My mouth will only open maybe half as much right now as before surgery. I showed the dentist and she agreed, stretching exercises are in order. So, the whole time I'm driving back and forth to get foam I open wide, move jaw left to point of pain, then same thing to right. If this is not the right thing to do, please let me know.
