What's the latest on your eye?

Really, I'm doing well.  I felt like I weathered my time in Seattle just fine.  I was there for four weeks of radiation from Mid-June to Mid-July.  I didn't feel nauseous, just weary.  I would describe it as like carrying an anvil around.  

By the mid-August, I was really feeling pretty good.  Then the side effects returned.  Apparently, the return of the side effects is normal, and so I wasn't shocked when they did return.  What I didn't anticipate was that the effects would be worse than they were originally.  It was as if someone pulled up a truck of anvils and dumped them on me.

That level of exhaustion lasted about another month.  Toward the end of September, I started to feel better.  Now I feel like I'm back to one anvil, pulling it behind me in a little wagon.  Not too bad, really.
