DAY15Celebration!
The liver came back a-ok. We have a happy clear liver and I got to see the coolest 3d photo of my insides.
I'm all squishy wishy inside. Thanks for all the love & light, everyone ....!!!!
I've also moved past the scarf on my head to just my head.
I went to the imaging place for the MRI with a scarf, and Mark and I had breakfast afterwards- after that I just pulled off the scarf and went Au Danzaral. I don't care anymore.
I managed to include some fun dangly earrings and eye makeup and I think i pulled it off. I feel much more comfortable this way and most likely I'll be rocking the bald if I don't feel up to a blue or green wig.
My nice wig is too much right now- I either need to wear it more as if I was breaking in shoes, or it's just not meant for me. Either way insurance covered the cost.
My hair is starting to come out more, though. I ran my hand through some hair and it came out in a small chunk. Then more, and more after that. So weird too. And you can actually feel it as your head gets this weird pins and needle tingly feeling. That the feeling of your hair saying sayonara.
It's a silly makeover. You get cancer- then all your hair falls out so you don't have to shave any legs or pluck any eyebrows, you lose a bunch of weight (I lost 9 lbs in the last 3 weeks), and you get to write off glitter eyeliner as a viable expense. Not to mention the new free boobs you get at the end. It's a weird journey towards a look you never expected to ever have.
Today was a very tired day- afer the MRI and breakfast- we decided to check out the mega thrift store on Route 38- while I was there I just hit a wall and got tired real fast. Great thrift store though.
Dr. Miller called as we had just gotten onto Magnolia Road bound home via 70 - we missed the call, so I pulled over and he left a message about the MRI being clean and clear and all good. Mark pumped his fist and we called our moms. :) It was a great moment. I knew the liver was fine.
I'm loving Magnolia Rd... it's a gorgeous stretch of 6 miles connecting 38 and 70.... it's got a magic to it.
I told Mark after my first drive down it it was so beautiful he had to see it for himself and write a song about it, so he did. Just in time for the new album. It's such a great tune.
I slept and rested for the rest of the day- my butt is whupped.
After all that's said and done, I'm so happy that I can stay in Stage 3 and my heart goes out to those who aren't so lucky. I'm grateful every day for the fact I don't have to live with this for the rest of my life. I cannot even imagine what it must be like.
Yankees right now are kickin some Rays butt 7-0, and for me, Matsui just doesn't look right in another uniform. It's so cool to see the support he's getting from the yankee fans though. Makes ya feel good.
Today was better than yesterday and tomorrow never knows, but I'll project for a better day than today ....
*love*
