Aquaphor is my Friend
My weekly 5 things: I have a cold with a very VERY runny nose. Hence the Aquaphor on my nose to help soothe the chafing. As of today, completed 9 radiation treatments. Had my biggest “OH SHIT!” moment at work thus far. Learned how to use the STRIVE machines at the YMCA. Watched a friend breeze…
