1 Down, 299 To Go

Well I’m happy to report that I finished my first Sudoku puzzle today and I’m already hooked on puzzle number two in the book.

Right now I feel like I’m in limbo. With the surgery behind me now, I’m anxious to move on to the next step. I called the surgeon’s office today on the off chance that they may have my appointment set-up at the Cancer Clinic but I didn’t have any luck. They say the Cancer Clinic told them to call back tomorrow. I would really like to get the chemo going. The sooner I start, the sooner I’m done. The whole hair loss thing has been on my mind lately. I don’t know for sure that that will happen but I’m kind of planning on the fact that I’ll lose my hair. In the grand scheme of things it’s no big deal but still… My hairdresser tells me I have a good face shape for short hair. Short hair yes, I’ve had it before but bald…I don’t think so. Although many cancer patients feel more comfortable with a wig, I don’t think it’s for me. I would feel like I was dressing up for Halloween everyday. I think I’ll opt for the baseball hat or bandana.

Steve and I had the conversation that no couple really wants to discuss but you know that it has to be dealt with sooner or later. Although I remain extremely optimistic about the future, a small part of me just wanted him to know a few things just in case I’m not here. I just feel better knowing that he knows so now I can continue to move forward. Steve says we’ll discuss those things in 40 years time…I know he’s right.

Back to puzzle number two,

me

Hey Kim,

Not sure if you are watching yet so I thought I would fill you in on another "Daytime Classic"!! Wally and his buddy's were learning about how to build a tree fort with the proper dimensions, while "The Beav" was charging people $3.00 to spit off the town bridge so he could make some spending cash!! Kinda sounds like the Groves' household growing up!! KEEP SMILING
