20 down - 8 to go

Hope everyone is enjoying this sunny weekend!  We had a busy, yet relaxing day!  Stefan got some yard work done while trying to avoid the sun, I got our veggie garden planted, and we managed some afternoon fun at the beach for Charlotte while we kept Daddy in the shade!  We just finished watching the Canucks win - and are now just enjoying milkshakes!  Stefan has completed 20 days of radiation - only 8 to go.

general: Radiation is starting to get to Stefan.  Not being able to do all he typically does is frustrating for him.  It's hard to watch my superhero husband battle being weak.  He truly is amazing in how he's handling this.
fatigue: Stefan is tired.  He would have trouble going without his afternoon nap.  I send him to bed as often as possible - even if it's just to watch tv in bed.  He's doing too much (yard work a prime example) - maybe it's my nagging him to take it easy and not actually the radiation that is causing the fatigue?
hair: It's started to come out in clumps - tough for Stefan.  His scalp is quite sensitive now too - so past the point of shaving.
other: Just one ear that's a bit plugged - but otherwise no other changes!   Although he hasn't complained about having salad three nights in a row, so I suppose that could indicate a change!
