My First Tattoo....Not By Choice

The last few weeks have been fairly busy, with a few new developments. Radiation should be starting on November 9th, the day after I get back from Newfoundland. I am also hoping to start back at work that week....very much looking forward to the work part...not the radiation. Today I went for a CT scan where they map my body so they know exactly how to align the radiation machine. At the end of the appointment they marked me with three small dot tattoos (look like tiny freckles). They use these tattoos every time I go for radiation to make sure the machine is perfectly aligned. It is pretty crazy that these tattoos will be with me for the rest of my life, always as small reminder (though compared to my scars they are nothing). The other excitement of the last few weeks has been planning my trip to Newfoundland and also a last minute trip to Ontario this past week. Wes and I spent about 6 days in Ontario where we visited both of our families. I finally got to meet Wes's parents and sisters which was great. I was really nice to spend time out of the city in the fresh air.
