To all who have been asking about Ginger, I thank you. I got her to the vet today and other than old age aches and pains in middle spine, she seems to be in good shape. We are giving her some pain meds and letting her rest for a couple of weeks. (ie: no long walks, only in the yard, no jumping or running) It sounds like her recovery is going to be right in line with mine.
I am doing okay as well. Had some delicious crabsoup in the past 2 days, which has caused a little fluid build up (oops!) I'll have to watch that and make corrections in my diet. I am scheduled to have my port inserted on Saturday, June 28th. So my job right now is to keep everything balanced and moving in the right direction.
My cranial prothesis was chosen to be as inconspicuous as possible. The style and color are as close to mine as I could get. I know "How boring!" I haven't even decided if I will wear it yet. I did get my hair cut last weekend and have received a favorable response from most people. Think Jamie Lee Curtis! Yeah! I might just keep this as is, and forget the wig altogether!!! I also have an assortment of hats to choose from.
As for having a wig made from someone's hair, well I think that would be time consuming and expensive. My niece Kristen has the most gorgeous thick, curly auburn hair, and has offered to donate it to have a wig made specifically for me. Thanks, that's very sweet, but I don't think it could be a direct match like that. I am not sure what the requirements are except that the hair must be free of chemical treatment and most be a certain length. If you are interested, any reputable beauty salon should know what to do.
Tom has returned to work, and is feeling good about that. Kevin is working on his summer routine and schedule. They are both planning their trip to Philmont Boy Scout camp in New Mexico next month.
Thanks again for your prayers and support. Till next time :-) Bets

Betsy,
So glad to hear you are feeling better. As for the wig, why make a decision?! Go natural one day, do a wig one day, do a hat another day..it's always good to change it up.
Saying daily prayers for you and hope you continue to rest and gain strength. Take care of yourself...let all those men around you do the heavy lifting!

Betsy,
Sounds like you are coming along and getting stronger each day. I love Jaimie Lee Curtis's hair!! I'm sure the haircut only accentuates your beautiful face! You are doing great with the blogging. Keep them coming. It's usually the first thing I check in the morning.
You continue to be in my prayers.
Love, Sue T.
