We had a wonderful time in Eureka Springs with Ken and Debbie - the weather was beautiful, our cabin was really nice, we got to relax, eat some good food, shop, look at some cool antique cars and just plain enjoy being out of town with friends!! Good to do every once in awhile. Thank you to Charlie and Mattie for keeping our dogs while we were gone and especially for driving them back to Stillwater for us!!! We really appreciate you guys!! And, to Stephanie, too, for taking care of the pets we left at home!
Last night we decided to go ahead and get rid of the rest of my hair - so...........Bob got the trimmers and trimmed as close to my head as he possibly could - all over! Wow, that's definitely a look I never thought I'd see on myself!! And, I'm sure Bob never thought he would shave his wife's head (and get away with it!) either! All new experiences..............
I still haven't really had any major side effects from the radiation - just feel a little weak and shaky/fuzzy feeling at times. As for the chemo pill, that's another story..............the main side effect is a rash/breaking out on your face. Makes you feel like a teenager all over again and I'm really not enjoying it!! I talked to Marilyn (the nurse) today and she told me I could use Head-n-Shoulders shampoo to wash my face and that is supposed to help - we'll see!
A couple of people have asked about bracelets - we do have bracelets! We ordered some in the beginning and they went a lot faster than we thought they would. So, we placed another order and it's taken forever to get, but they are finally here. Let me know if I can get some to you.
Thank you, Marilyn, for the ride last week - hope you enjoyed your Hideaway pizza!!!
Thank you, everyone, for the comments - I love reading them. They always help to brighten my day!!
Today was Day 13 of Radiation (7 to go) - yay!

We love you Mom, and it was fun to keep the dogs! I am going to post pics of the dogs on my blog in just a few :)
So glad you guys enjoyed your trip. Sounds like you had a great time. We are sorry about the loss of your hair, just remember it's just like grass (I mean the lawn) and it will grow back eventually, probably even more beautiful than before. The stripes Jesus took upon his back are for your healing, and we pray that for you daily. As always, you guys are in our thoughts and prayers. Love you very much.
I think your new hair looks great!The color is very much like your natural color. You may get used to not having to do all that hair prep that we girls usually have to do. Glad it was a great trip to Eureka Springs.
