Mom got tattoos!

I know what you are thinking. "But she has been such a straight-arrow."

They are just four little dots that the radiologist will line up with the zapper when she starts radiation on her back and sides tomorrow!

We met with Dr. Richards today in St. George.

He informed us that there are actually three little spots in the brain 1.6 cm, 1.2 cm, and 1.1 cm. He agreed that the stereotactic radio treatment is an excellent idea.

Mom's favorite part of the appointment was when he was checking the reflexes of her legs and she had a pretty big kick when he hit her knee. He then said, "Let me guess. You were a cheerleader!"
We can't wait to see her doing toe-touches again.
