Get up! Get Up! Get Up!

Get up! Get Up! Get Up!

These are the words I heard as I lay on the radiation table on Tuesday. I had just been put in position and the huge metal door was closing, when the tech came running in. She grabbed the controller and was trying to lower me down while watching a river (ok stream, a fast-moving stream) coming towards the room and the outer hallway. I jumped off the table and threw my clothes on and jumped over the brown rusty water that was now not only coming out of the storage door but the ceiling tiles!

Hallway into the Zapping room!

"Pick up the phone people!!!"

“Pick up the phone people!!!”

The cleaners are not going to be happy.

Needles to say, my treatment was cancelled for Tuesday. This will push my end date till next Tuesday. Oh well. The Boy thought it was awesome and was taking pictures and posting them to his Instagram account. I am happy to say that the machine was not damaged and I was able to get zapped on Wednesday.

I hope none of your pipes have burst or heating die on you while most of the county is under a blanket of snow.  Stay warm. Stay safe Reader’s!

  1. What a mess…glad that you only had to miss the one day… I will say that I was somewhat concerned about the pipes in Hotel Yorba when I heard how cold it was…glad it was your zapping room and not your wrapping room…

  2. Glad that you are almost over with your radiation and you did not get dripped on from the ceiling. See you tomorrow, love you lots ,lots,lots Momee

  3. Sounds like mayhem!! Makes for a funny story to add to your journey:) I was LMAO. I was thinking about you while I was on the table having my prep on Thursday…made it all less scary. Thanks for sharing with us.
    As this is Monday I think you’ll have your last zap? Fantastic if so!!!

    • Due to the water pipe leak, my last treatment will be tomorrow. Sooooo Happy! I will miss the ladies who are my tech’s. They are both so nice and do a great job. How was getting the tattoo’s? You know I will be getting one by choice soon… :) I am glad that your prep was made easier…did you keep an eye out for water coming out of the ceiling?

      • One more…Yeah Shay!!!! I’m so happy for you:)
        Tattoos were so easy. Have 3 of 4. They’ll do #4 on the 30th. I’m going to have them made into birds later. I to will have a real tat done when I finish. My daughter had one done in Oct. I’m going to get the same one but modified.
        I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow:)
