side effect or coincidence?

hmm, 3 treatments down and 26 more to go.  they were saying that i shouldn't feel anything until like 10 or so treatments in, but after the first one i felt kind of sick.  i figured it was just a release from finally having the first one done, the stress outlet or something. thursday i felt ok except the bad heartburn i had all day, then friday afterwards i was wiped out.  i felt like ass and was super tired and i just felt icky.
the funny thing is that i lay there on that table, its weird to think that anything other than a bunch of noises is really happening.  they say i can keep my eyes open the whole time but when the radiator starts coming into view i close my eyes.  doesn't seem safe to keep them open.  maybe one of these days i'll test it out, but not tomorrow.  i don't trust it.
i was also mistaken about the photo of the machine.  only the big thing on top rotates around.  the dark panel thing on the bottom is used for imaging.  when they aren't taking xrays, those things fold up so the thing on top can move around. 
did i mention the door?  its the only indicator that they room is "fortified."  the door itself is like a foot thick.  then they told me all the walls and floors are too.  i told them that i thot the dark panel thing was there to keep the beams from continuing onto China but they straightened me out there.
right now my stomach hurts.  feels like heart burn again.  gas?  i don't know.  i felt really bad because today i was just like, wtf.  its sunday and i am dreading monday.  why?  because i don't want to go to the treatment tomorrow.  its not a big deal.  its not like it takes a lot of time, it doesn't hurt.  but it does make me feel like a sick person, and i'm not sick. 
BUT i did decide that if my hair falls out and i wind up shaving my head i am totally going to get a tattoo on my head somewheres. that would be awesome.  don't know what i'll get, but it will be something.  something so that like when i am all old and my hair is thinning from being old, it totally shows and makes people be like, what is going on over there?  ok, probably not anything like that, but i'll get something.  maybe i will get eric's face tattooed on the back of my head.  how awesome would that be!
