The Nose Knows - December 28-29, 2010

Yesterday was an early day. Pete had an 8:30 appointment for radiation treatment to his back. There was no blood work scheduled, so it was a very quick in-and-out trip.

At the beginning of these treatments, Pete had been advised that the path of the radiation beam may have some effect on his bowel/intestines/digestive system. Until yesterday it didn't seem that anything was particularly amiss, but as the three of us sat in the condo wishing for fresh air and lighting scented candles to mask frequent bursts of unpleasant odors, it became obvious that, in Pete's case, the radiation was wreaking havoc with his gastro-intestinal juices, producing voluminous eruptions of olfactoraly obnoxious flatulence, or as Pete described it, "radiation farts".
