As everyone is, at this time of the year, am running in circles trying to get everything done for the holidays. Do have all my shopping done, most hand made gifts done, but time to stop and wrap and get the out of state and town in the mail and get cards done. But if they are late, as long as they are not for the small kids, sure no one will really care. At least, hope not.
Had lab, xray and saw Dr on 12-4. All going just as he wants it to. My platelets are down a little more but not in the anemic area and we are set for chemo again on the 12-10th. Next Monday.
Then was supposed to see him again on the 26th but he moved it up to the 19th which fits my plans better! If all goes well, we will have Christmas here with the in town family, and then leave early the morning of the 24th and go to Arkansas to be with the great grandkids on Christmas Eve.
On day 15, just as several had told me would happen, my hair started to come out! Had planned to go to my regular beautician, also a good friend, and have her shave my head when that happened. But my wonderful daughter had told me she wanted to do it for me! Such an act of love. I think. (Wink) So yesterday, after I wore my newly studded ball cap to Weight Watchers, I went to the wig shop and got me some beautiful hair. I am a blond again and have more hair than I have had in a long time. Fun to play with! And I have lots more time and save money on shampoo!
So all is going great! Thanks to all of you for your comments and words of support. And know without all of you and my great family and especially Leo, I would not be handling this as well as I am. You are all very special.
