Here’s the bottom line: I met with two doctors today and both seem to think that it is a temporary side effect of the radiation. 

Here are the details: I was able to get in to see my primary physican at 2:00, and she wrote out an order for x-rays of my whole arm just to make sure it is nothing having to do with the bones.  I met with a radiologist at 4:00 after my radtiation appointment (I see one every Monday), and he said go ahead with the x-rays, but he thinks the swelling will get better once radiation is over in three weeks.  He said that I just need to watch what I do with this arm…lifting Kai, carrying bags on my shoulder and such.  

So tomorrow I go for x-rays in the mid-morning (no time is set) and will wait for a call saying everything is fine.  It’s just that every little pain or new “issue” gets me all worked up and worried.

Thank you for continued prayer and I’ll let you know what the x-rays show.  (Hopefully nothing!)
