Day 71 Preparing for the end

I am preparing for my last week and I just read the blog entry for the Sunday before I started... my how fast and slow this seven weeks has been!
7 weeks ago as I prepared to start the radiation, i went shopping and cleaned my house and "nested". Today, as I prepared for the last week, I took a nap and then I woke up and sat on the couch... what a difference in energy I have. I am starting to feel excited for the last week and anxious. I am esspecially anxious that my voice is not going to come back.. Once the radiation is over I will have about 2 weeks of feeling bad before the healing begins. Then I am hoping that my voice will really improve and I will start to wake up being able to talk.
I continue to let people help. Tonight Jack and Peggy are coming for dinner, and they are bringing everything (thanks!) I didn't even fight with Peggy over letting me do something. I was glad that my family was getting something to eat that I didn't have to think about.
Sadly, my friend Trish's father died yesterday. I spent the day worrying about what I could do for her. It is strange how doing something for others feels so good and accepting help makes you feel so helpless!
