Sorry for the delay in updating my blog. Life is really stressful when you lose your cable modem. I don't recommend it to anyone. What? No Internet? I need it like I need air, I'm finding.
I said I was gonna do it, and I did it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Well, Kristi did it, but I let her. (Thanks Kristi! You're a doll!) I had her cut my hair really short. I feel very different. I'm glad I did it, but I was just a tid bit freaked out at first. I woke up on Monday, and I had an urge to wear animal print. So I donned my cheetah skirt, and I went into work for a quick meeting on Monday. As I arrived, I found myself trying to hide from myself. Everywhere I went, there I was. Most said they like it; A couple of folks got really big-eyed and did a double-take. My son just asked when I was gonna have long hair again. Christmas-time is about the earliest (if I even decide to go long again!) Many have asked if I'm sure I'll lose my hair. My oncology nurse said that in 30 years, she hasn't seen a single patient that didn't lose their hair, so why not take some risks while I have a couple of weeks to mess around with it?
Two days later, I'm comfortable with my hair, and I like it. No more 40-minute hair prep. Whooo-ya!
On another topic - we celebrated my sister-in-law (Karla's) 50th birthday on Saturday..... a family event we had planned long before my cancer diagnosis. We had Clayton and Karla's cousins here from LA and Karla's God parents from Encinitas, along with other family and friends. We kept it small for Karla's sake. Large groups often cause her to have seizures, but she did well and enjoyed her party. Clayton and Cassie, with some help from others, did all of the cooking and cleaning. I just sat back and enjoyed the day. My stomach hasn't been feeling too well, and I've lost 6 lbs over the last week. The doc gave me some stuff to settle my tummy, and I already feel better. So maybe this 2-week chemo cycle will mean a slightly rough first week and a better second week. Time will tell.
I'll attempt to attach a picture of my new hair to this blog. Thanks for reading.

Sandy my sweet sister. I love your hair as I have said before. I love you for your inner strength that just shines through. You are handling this battle as just an everyday part of life thing that is there, needs to be taken care of, you take care of what you need to and go on with life. Life stays in session for you and you let nothing get you down. You still live. You are my hero and a person everyone should look up to. I love you my sister, my friend.
You are the most awesomest Sandy! I love what your sister wrote about you...ditto!
