My plans are to type and publish most of these stunts somewhere over the next few weeks. However here is a quickie on that one:
A few weeks into treatment, I was having nerve issues, falling over going around corners, electrolite issues... etc.
My radio Oncologist comes in, serious as death itself and FOCUSED.
He asks me 50 questions, the last one being if I was having problems we hadn't discussed. I tell him that I have been getting this full body tingling/numbness when I lower my head to my chest (true), he asked for a better discription.
Starting to say its "like an electric shock", I stop and tell him I am going to show him. Grabing the standard joke light bulb out of my bag, I pop it in my mouth and light it up.
HEH! I thought he was gonna die!
He did his best to figure out just how we were going to smuggle that thing into the treatment room so I could light just before they switched on the rads... Almost giggling like a little girl!
Any effort I can make to lighten the terrible responsabilities on those doctors, nurses and techs seems an appropriate way to thank them, as much as entertain, well um, ME!
