Smooth travels

Yesterday's chemo went off well. When I told the nurse that I did not want to even see the "red devil medicine (which is injected for about ten minutes through a large syringe) she kindly covered up the whole syringe and kept it out of my view...above and beyond!  Windy and Gary kept me company and provided lots of opportunities to laugh...we had the ward complaining about too much laughter...not really.  Thanks to good pre meds and follow up, I am able to eat, smile, laugh today.  And still get to enjoy grandkids, daughters and Gary.  I am so thankful.

We had a shave my head party this morning.  A combination of daughters helped carry it of (my hair, that is).  I had been sprinkling hair for several days and it was to the point that it needed to go.  It's a very strange experience that required laughter and tears.
