Insurance approves Cyberknife procedure

I went in on Friday for the fitting of my new plastic mask and learned that Group Health had authorized Cyberknife for me. That's a relief. The fitting went very quickly compared to the last one. The mask is slightly smaller and they made it tight over my forehead, but not as tight over my nose, eyes and chin. They will cut out eye holes so it won't be so claustrophobic. They also have a pad to lay on and padding under my head too so I should be more comfortable. They will call next week to set up scheduling. She said I wouldn't start next week, but probably the week after.

We're on our way to the coast (Seaside, OR) to spend some time with my sister. The weather is supposed to improve by tomorrow so it should be a pleasant trip -- just short. We're heading back on Wednesday. Then I will be leaving my current position at work temporarily to be the interim supervisor in another office division while they search for a permanent replacement for the position. It'll be a busy week getting ready to leave.

I still need to get around to posting a picture of my hair. :)
