4 am wakings and radiation

The last few nights Clark wakes up at 4 am. He thinks about his health, money, employment, us and everything else that keeps his mind a racetrack. All the cars are on fire in his head and it is as if the lineup was for NASCAR. Clark wanders around the house and finally ends up in the living room to watch TV to wait for the rest of us to get up. I pray that he can finally put some of his “cars” in the shop soon. Clark needs to get some solid sleep.

Clark has had very few side effects with the radiation (besides the “racetrack”). He goes to radiation Monday through Friday for about 5-10 minutes a day. He has been able to bike in the last few weeks, nothing regular yet, but hopefully soon he can get on a regular exercise schedule.

A bonus that radiation seems to have over chemo is generally Clark feels better and is getting color back along with his hair.
