Susan is in the PET scan trailer (they are only at Sharp hospital 3 days a week and are elsewhere doing PET scans the rest of the week) letting her radioactive injection dissipate throughout her body. For those of you that will see her in the next 24 hours, touch her at your own risk as she is radioactive and anyone she comes in contact with will absorb some of that radiation (seriously). The tech said that she should especially limit contact with children as they are more susceptible to the radiation. When asked if she could at least kiss the boys before they go to bed, he said, “as long as it’s a short kiss.” Interesting stuff. I learned a little about how the PET scans works also: 1) radioactive material is easy to detect, 2) cancer likes sugar, 3) if you give a patient radioactive sugar, the cancer will feed on the radioactive sugar and can then be located by determining the radioactive portions of the patient.
After the surgery this morning, she was in pretty rough shape. She was nauseas and in a lot of pain. I’ve been pushing her around in a wheelchair since we left the surgery center, but now she is in a lazyboy recliner getting radioactive. In a few minutes they will start the PET scan, which will take about another 15 minutes. I was really hoping that, for some reason, she would endure this surgery better, but I guess she is still very, very sensitive to drugs and pain.
That’s all for now. I think she will probably be sleeping the rest of the day and through tonight (hopefully).
All of you thought I was crazy for years when telling you my sister was a radioactive mutant!!! Finally I feel some vindication knowing there is a test now to prove it! Ohh yeah and Mom is making me say
I hope you feel better (x-men wana be)
I’m going to go in and check tonite to see if you are glowing! Maybe we can save on electricity and not use the hall light for our night lights!
I am so proud of you and the way you are handling this challenge. Thanks for trusting me with your precious boys! all my love,mom
Dude if you glow. lets go down to the property at night and let you walk threw the oak grove and film it. THEN i will call it “OAK CREEK” !!! most people dont know the inside joke. My parents want to name the Property “Oak Creek” but i am pretty sure that is the name of the haunted house in EVERY scary movie.. OAK CREEK MANOR~ yeah scary.
Oh that was you…..we saw a bright light and we told the kids it was just a light but they will love to hear that it was there aunty in California.
hang in there

Hello Susan & Russell, I have been thinking about you all day. I can’t wait to see you Susan!!! I am already somewhat of a Mutant, so I will hug you as soon as I can!!! XOXO….

Didnt KISS sing about a radioactive girl?
Eric, Yes and No…Yes, everyone thought you were crazy all those years, but it had nothing to do with your sister being a beacon of light sent from above to offset the cruel injustice of sending 3 challenged males to the same location.
