Wednesday June 25, 2008 Timing is everything

I had a wonderful but brief visit from 2 friends from New York as they traveled between Virginia and their home. Again, taking advantage of opportunities as they arise. It was so good to see them, and we promised not to keep our visits an annual event but to make them more often.

My hair has begun falling out! My shoulders look like I have a fine angora shawl across them. The good news is that my wig is in, so I am going to pick that up today. Still not sure if I'll wear it. I'll have to play with it a little, and if my hair loss gets bad enough I may have to.

I start my chemo tomorrow and Tom will take me for the day. The bad news is that will exhaust his leave time completely. I will need some help getting to and from chemo (take me in the AM and pick me up in the PM). I will have a much better idea of timing and frequency after tomorrow. I believe it will be 1 day every 2nd or 3rd week. I will see how tomorrow goes and let everyone know. I do appreciate your help with this. I will be getting too many meds during the day to allow safe driving.

Till next time :-) Bets

Betsy,
I may be able to help out with transportation. I'll wait to hear what the schedule will be.
Take care!

Betsy:
So glad you are feeling a bit better. Is your Chemo going to be at Anne Arundel? Let me know the timing. If you need to be there all day, it may work for someone who works in Annapolis and lives near Piney Orchard (like me) to help out. Will watch this space for more info. News is that School Health is going to New Mexico for NASN. Back on 7/1. Keep making progress.
Hugs,
Gene

Betsy,
The good thing about being the "boss" is the flexibility it gives me. Just give me a day or 2 notice when you need someone and I will be there. We will be home from Disney on the 4th.
