We're Back!

We're back from our trip and although it was wonderful spending time with Ray and not thinking about my disease so much, I'm glad to be back home sleeping in my own bed.

My hair growth seems to have taken on a life of it's own. It often reminds me of a man's straggly beard, with each tiny strand sticking out every which way. If it wasn't so daggone unattractive, it would be funny! Same with my eyebrows. I need a trip to the beauty salon.

My next oncology appointment is October 1st. I am looking forward to seeing Dr. Carraway since she is back from maternity leave. She will probably schedule my 3rd Lumbar Puncture for the same day.

I am feeling fantastic and am so grateful to be able to say that. I ran into some friends this afternoon whom I hadn't seen for quite some time and who were unaware of my diagnosis. As I was relaying to them all that had happened, I was reminded how incredibly blessed I am. I, or possibly Ray alone, could easily be telling a much different story. Instead, my story is full of hope and plans for the future. I'm grateful for the moments, those little reminders, of what could have been - it keeps things in perspective.
