A Few Answers


  • Yes and no to the night-light question. I do glow in the dark but not that can be seen with the naked eye. I have seen it while at the hospital and it is a bit weird.

  • Regardless of the situation it can make for some pretty good jokes. The doctor told me yesterday that I had basically swallowed Chernobyl. I guess the dose was relatively large compared to last years.

  • I also cannot go into any federal facilities. Apparently the radiation sensors are super sensitive and I would set them off. I was told possibly as long as two months. I thought it would be a fun experiment, the doctor laughed and said "yeah until you find yourself face down, spread eagle, in handcuffs." Good point, I do have documentation I can carry with me that explains my condition.

  • Keisters -Primanti Brothers is off the list, remember the deadly potato allergy? But the game is a go. We have TV up and down and I have already planned my nap so I can stay awake for the BIG GAME! I have never seen my kids so excited for a game. Kurt talks about it every day and they all left the house in full Steelers gear today.
  • Speaking of food....Right now it all tastes like it is laced in poison. The radioactive iodine runs through the excretory system and is pretty nasty. I have to suck on sour candy to keep my salivary glands from getting clogged. I don't generally eat much sugar, the combination is upsetting my stomach. I can really only tolerate just one, maybe two meals a day at this point.
  • Janene you need to invite me onto your blog, I keep forgetting to ask so I hope you read this.
  • All -in - all things are good. Although I don't feel as horrible as last year, I am still without much energy. I have lots to read and that seems to be the most satisfying thing to, I really hate to watch TV, and it seems the more I read the less I like TV. I am not reading anything with substance which is intentional, sometimes it is nice to just read fluff, I'm in a fluff mood. A friend from church must share my love of mystery and intrigue since she brought me a book by one of my favorite authors. I will start it today.
  • I will do my best to update this as regularly as possible. Thanks for your prayers.

We were not aware of your potato allergy or we would have stayed clear of that comment. You are an Idaho girl, how did you get that allergy?!!!

Keep up the posts as you help put a smile on my face with your cute comments.

Aliess,

I wish I had something funny to say; then I'd call. As it is, this will have to suffice for now. I hope we get to see you at the family reunion. I guess there is a chance we will be there, although I just realized the kids may have school until July. Between a major ice storm and the usual NH blizzards, they have lost a lot of school days. We should all live in So Cal.

Why don't you join Facebook or something? Or give me your email address? Could you, would you?

All the best!

hmmm, I feel like a jerk. Sorry about that. I was wonderin why you never stop in. Totally laughing at my own stupidity right now. I need your e-mail address? janene.cook@gmail.com

I'm glad you have such a good sense of humor. Can I come watch you try to get into a federal building? That would just be so much fun! I can bring the camera! popcorn anyone?

I hope your feeling better! Nothing like a yucky taste in the mouth to ruin the appetite. Hope that is gone soon! And who says reading fluff is a bad thing, sometimes, ya just need to read fluff :)
