Dressing for the Linear Accelerator




One of you kind people told me I should "dress like you mean it" when you go for your treatments. Well, let's just say, my glamor days are so OVER. Like about 10 years ago? Also, I do not have exactly the ahem.."foundation" at the moment to properly wear anything drapey or lighter colored than navy blue? This shirt is extremely old and I can see by the photo, that although I pulled it clean out of my drawer, it has seen better days. I cannot part with my Mariners shirt anymore than I could part with my UW Husky socks. Well, friends. What you see is what you get! Comfort all the way!

The people at the radiology center are SO NICE. This treatment is very easy so far and they took 3 treatments off my total last week so I only have 3 weeks left. I feel lucky. Today, the woman right before me got her "3 Bells" rung and certificate of completion and I can hardly wait for mine so this can all be behind me.

KK and I sewed this week and there will be more posts about sewing soon! I promise!

  1. Well, I can't say I 'approve' of the shirt, but I will give you a bye in this case! Three weeks is coming fast, let us know the date and we can all ring "Three Bells" at once! K

  2. Love the shirt -- my sister is a season ticket holder so she shares all things Mariner. Wonderful to see the lovely smile and such good news about the three weeks. Sending really good vibes your way. Can't wait to see what you and KK are stitching up.

  6. You must be the prettiest person that the Clinac sees each day, Stash! You look wonderful with that big smile and beloved shirt. I hope the next three weeks of treatments fly right by so that you can put this huge challenge behind you and sew, sew, sew!

  8. Oh, Stash, I had no idea you were having health problems! Just keep that big smile on your face and you will fly through all of it. Best Wishes!

  9. Stash I knew you'd had surgery but didn't realize it was this serious. Of course all surgeries are serious. My prayers are with you - we'll have a big loud bell ringing! Marcia

  13. I was sewing and realized I hadn't answered your question on my blog. I pinned the back of my muslin by reaching behind, pulling together the excess and sticking a few pins in on the left and the right sides. Then I measured and found the average, pinned that tuck, and tried it on again, fine tuning from there. Mostly I can fit without a helper. My digital camera is great for seeing behind me. Hope that helps.
