A cranial prosthesis, eh?  Now that's a new term for me!  <lol>  At first I 
thought you were going to have a brain transplant or something.  <grin>  As 
for the hair, my friend Donna, who had to have chemo for breast cancer, had 
a good-bye to my hair party, and a bunch of us came over and cut her hair 
and shaved her head, and someone actually decorated her head with some kind 
of funky design, and took pictures and everything.  I got to do the hair 
cutting, which is probably the only time in my life that I'll cut hair.  It 
was really neat how she made something humorous and fun out of a difficult 
situation, and it sounds like you're doing the same thing.  Now where are my 
scissors?  <grin>

Subject: Hair it goes!


Okay, okay, it's God's hair not mine, but hair it goes today.  Since I'm 
starting chemo cherapy next week, the hair will be going.  These fragile 
fine locks of mine, why perhaps they'll grow back in full and beautiful and 
... oh, stop dreaming, April.  LOL.  Marilyn's niece Kristen will be cutting 
them for me this afternoon after I get a tooth pulled.  This bothers me 
until I remember just who's I am and who's hair will be falling to the 
floor.  So hair it goes!

So to all of you wonderful folks with long beautiful hair, (rasberries). 
Just kidding.

Now I sit writing to you from this little pink net book and bearing my soul 
to many of you whom I've not had the pleasure of meeting, but may I share 
some thoughts with you?  God has given me some wonderful gifts in this life. 
I have two stepsons, wonderful daughters-in-law, a grandson who will turn 
four in November, and a husband who loves me with his life.  These are gifts 
I thought I'd never have.  It seems life hasn't always been good for me in 
the family department, but in this season of my life, God has truly blessed 
me.  Now that's one great gift.  Another is the absolutely phenomenal sense 
of family I feel with you.  Many of us have been writing and have known each 
other for a really long time, so I thank God for you all each time I think 
of you.  Smile.

Last night I heard a big bang and then our power went out. David, my 
husband's sister, lives with us. She is 87 years old and gets around 
splendidly with her walker. She thought she had made it back to the couch to 
sit and missed the couch landing softly on the floor. We all went to bed 
shortly after that, so I'm hoping she has no soreness or stiffness today. 
Good grief, if I landed like that, my young bones would be ouchy for days. 
Oops. Anyway, Irene is a classy lady and we love havingt her here with us.

Miss Flurrie, my guide dog, is always a big hit at the cancer center. 
Yesterday several people petted her while we waited to go to chemo therapy 
class. BTW, the big thinhg about the class was that I got a prescription for 
a cranial prosthesis. (Yes, you guessed it! A wig!) Now how about that?

Wishing you all a blessed day!
