Radiation Burn

At the beginning of her radiation treatments, Grandma got a nice tan on her chest. Now her chest is black from radiation burn. The area hurts and she finds the itchiness unbearable at times. Fortunately, there is no blister or skin break. We have been told that the effect of radiation peaks in two weeks. We are currently at the two-week point. Hopefully, her skin condition will not get any worse than what it is now.

It rained a few days ago and our parking lot is very slippery. My mom has been going out daily to work on breaking off big slabs of ice. She can only do some each day because she will be in too much pain if she does too much. She managed to remove all of the ice in front of the garage so that there is at least a safe area for loading and unloading passengers.
