Sometimes the monotony is hard to take...

I realize that I have been less than diligent with the blog as of late. To be honest, it is because there is not anything to report here.

I cannot believe that Thanksgiving has come & gone. I love Christmas, but I feel very unprepared.

Gabe came to visit and that was great! By him being here, it breaks up the routine and helps me re-focus on these last weeks. I am So ready to bust out of this place you have no idea!!

My hair has of course started to fall out. It is pretty bad because it is coming out where my head and neck meet, so not only can I not see it or how it looks, but I really do not know how to manage the hair on the top of my head that is still there. Also, the steroids have made my face swell up so big that they can hardly fit it inside my radiation mask anymore.

I come out with this fine mesh look all over my face; it is mildly amusing if it didn’t squeeze so much!



Last but not least, I have moved to an apartment for these last couple of weeks. It is just easier and there is a shuttle that goes between here and the hospital for all my appointments. Now the final countdown begins. My original release date was Dec. 17th. Belive me, I am working overtime to change that to Dec. 14 but we shall see.......

Goodness! Hang in there girl! BTW, we hope your Thanksgiving was good. We did a big few days of traveling with the ENTIRE fam. and visited Elizabeth in Cincinnati.

Thinking of you always,

Hang in! You are my hero. Maybe your hairstyle will become the next Jennifer Aniston cut. Maybe not, but it is a badge of courage and no one looks better in a scarf than you do.
