A bit premature… and a muffin

Let's start with the muffin. This quiet, unassuming, wrapped a little bit fancily, muffin. Looks chocolate, right? Yummy? 



Looks like a staring contest or the beginnings of a shakedown against my handsome hubby...

Anyway, this quiet little muffin was full of hazelnut! That's right, someone stuffed it full of Nutella and it was melty on the inside of the moist, fluffy cake with an almost crispy outside and ... I think I fell in love a little bit.


I like that it even looks like a swamp thing puppet of some kind if you use your imagination. 

 The premature part in the title of this post was I thought I had plenty of stickers and markings before? HAHAAAA, apparently I know nothing of how many is plenty because I got another round!


I even have markings in my armpit though the girls reassured me that no stickers would stay on in there so they wouldn't even try to stick any. 

The photo below has additional arrows edited on so that you can maybe see the line on my skin from the previous radiation. During photon radiation, they lay a bolus over your skin that is to be receiving treatment and its edges would have lined up with the line on my side there. My doctor explained it's the difference between the skin on the back of your finger versus the skin on the side of your fingers that you feel everything with. It looks like a faint sunburn. I wanted a pre-treatment photo so I could keep track of how crispy I get and how quickly. Morbid, perhaps, but if it helps give someone else an idea of what to expect down the road, then it'll have been worth it. 


All things considered, lookin' pretty good going in!
