With the radiation treatments completed, and awaiting September 5 Chemo Dr. Appointment we are just going along each day. She seems to be showing good signs of not being so tired so often. Still, when it's time to lay down and rest; "it's time to lay down and rest". She is eating better, and more things appeal to her taste buds. (She still won't try my tuna-fish-ice-cream-topping!) She didn't care for the wig she ordered, so she is exchanging that. Judith and Bruce invited us over for dinner Tuesday evening, and they tried on wigs. Judith is lending her a couple, and one of them looks really cute. Jean likes it too. After we returned from her blood work today, (platelets came in at 195 HOORAY) we drove over to my barber friend, and we both got a haircut. Ken has been in our shoes before, and he cut her hair just right. Following that, he peeled me too. Jean looks much more comfortable without that longer hair on the back of her head, and she feels comfortable too, and not nearly as self-conscious of her hair. Unfortunately we have a funeral mass to attend tonight (a good friend of ours from the Re-membering Group), and after that and a brief trip to the reception, we are going to see Mike and Deb near the end of a CATS game tonight. (Hopefully it will cool a bit, as she just cannot take the excessive heat. Or cold for that matter. Things have to be just about right for her to be very comfortable.) (The CATS games are an established tradition with us and Mike and Debbie. And of course Bubba.) She was napping this afternoon, so hopefully she will be able to enjoy an active evening.
God bless and keep you all.Bill
