Esophagitis

They say I have Esophagitis. Anytime they append "itis" to the end, they are just flaunting their medical jargon. Esophagitis just means that my esophagus is irritated; it could be irritated from radiation, food, some random other condition, or an alien parasite. Really, I have Bodyitis, because my hip, chest, back and inerts hurt; plus, I have that toe issue and my hands have a rash. It is expected that I get esophagitis because of the radiation. They told me that I just need to avoid eating stuff that irritates it more. The esophagitis is creating some heartburn, which is creating slight nausea. I also have somewhat of a sunburn now. They are having me put Aloe Vera on it.

In spite of the side-effects, my radiation is proceding as planned. I am now 4 days until treatment is done. Today they were having trouble finding one of my tattoos because it was buried beneath my chest hair. I said "I apologize for my manliness" and they sort of laughed. The joking helps with the awkwardness of the whole thing. I am getting sort of used to not wearing any clothes. Don't worry, I still prefer clothing.
