Radiation vacation 330am

Creepy. I woke up at 330 am to go the bathroom. I noticed my body was vibrating or something. ewwwwwwwwwwwww, that was a weird feeling. I am downing water now. I'm on my 3rd bottle in 1/2 hour. I just don't want to puke, but I want this stuff out.

The other strange thing is that the hospital doesn't take anything out of the room while I'm here. So my food tray is still in here. Of course I didn't eat all of the food on it so it's grossing me out. At least the nurses put a bag around it and tied it up. They leave everything in here for a week or so til the radiation dissipates.

I can't believe they generally let people do this in hotels. How toxic are the hotel rooms we stay in? Can you imagine? You would never know if someone just before you was staying there for radiation. At the same time, this hospital stay is the most expensive 'hotel' I'll ever stay at. Can you imagine what kind of room I could get for $6K a day or whatever ridiculous amount they bill they insurance for? I could be at the Ritz in Paris for a lot less than that, or even the presidential suite at the Phoenician.
