Nuclear Medicine

Today is Enrique's radiation day. He's nervous.

It should be a short procedure - just an injection at the nuclear medicine department. But it's always tough to predict how these things will work.

I'm going to take him to the hospital and then drop him back at home when he's done.

Then I'll go on to Davis for Thanksgiving while he stays at home and waits for the radiation to do its work (and go away).

He's well stocked with food. And he'll be able to go off his low-iodine diet on Friday.

But he really doesn't like the idea of being radioactive (and trapped in the house).

He's got gloves for handling things in the kitchen and he'll be using paper plates and plastic silverware.

It will be over quickly.
