I'm Glowing

It was really tough saying goodbye to Jen and the animals early this morning. Still trying to comprehend that I won't be home for at least 2 months. Finally got the show on the road and now it's a countdown until I return with a healthy immune system. After all the routine questions and pre-meds, they started infusing the Bexxar at about 11:30am. Didn't feel a thing. They have me hooked with an IV now, but it's just to keep fluids flowing through me. The IV should only be for a couple days. They say I may have some nausea but usually IF that happens, it doesn't come until a couple days after infusion. So far I feel fine. Shelly came with her Geiger counter and measured my radioactive level to determine my baseline. She gave me a yardstick and told me to stand at the end of it. The reading she got was 60 milligrams per hour at 1 meter. I'm told that it will go down quickly for the first couple of days then it slows down. I can't get out of isolation until my number is down to 7. I took some pictures of my room and as soon as I figure it out, I'll post them. I can't have my cell phone in here but I do have a direct line which is 206-598-7614. If we're still on schedule, I'm down to 228 hours until I'm out of isolation! Hope I get some sleep tonight without Marc by my side. (PS---I got the bike in my room!)
