Getting ready!

Rug Shopping

Today has been good.  I started driving again.  I still have a teddy bear between me and the seat belt to act as a buffer.  What a sight!

Last night Rachel came by for a visit, and just stayed and chatted a while.  It helped the time just fly by.  

Today I went and bought a wig (rug).  It took me forever to decide; blonde or brunette or redhead, curly or straight, long or short or in between?  All the wigs have names and I was very unsure who I wanted to be by the end.  The platinum blonde sitting in my chair was a little scarry even if she had my same nose. I settled on a really short haired terrier, I mean, wig.  Dark brunette.  Tomorrow I am getting the real hair on my head cut very short so when it comes out, there won't be too much to vacuum.  

I am looking for one of those goofy baseball hats that comes with a ponytail.....

This afternoon Dan and I went to Chemo training and saw where I will be having my treatments.  I pictured something more soothing or comforting.  But it's just a big room crowded full of vinyl recliners with IV poles next to them.  People of all ages and cancer  types will be there.  I can have one visitor with me at a time.  The visitor gets a rolling stool to sit on.

Tonight I met with my girlfriends and laughed and enjoyed the cool evening air.  What a gift to have so much love and care in my life.  Thank you everyone for this gift.  Carmine

  1. I know you will look great.....it is the smile that everyone sees, not the hair!
    Sounds like it was quite a process! Be sure to include pics of the little terrier!
