First Winter Visit

Mom and dad headed back to Tuscon today, and my daughter came to visit.  I showed Winter where the glass displays were that she could color on to tell mom to get better, and she took up all the space she could reach.  The whole floor is talking about how cute it was.

I had an okay night last night, I got a depo shot which caused the opposite effect it was supposed to last night and got blood over everything, but I slept really well.  Today I started my chemo regimen with predenisone and a lumbar puncture, tonight I get the vincristine and one other.  I stopped and restarted my menstrual cycle, so that highly painful shot didn't do me much good.

I talked with the social workers I was supposed to meet yesterday, and when they said they could get me a wig, I told them how I'd rather have the hat on the wall, down the side hall and they told me to go take it before it disappeared, and that they had plenty of beanies to replace it with.

My husband has discovered the true power of a neighbor who wants to help desperately when he got home and found that our tree has been chopped down and the weeds where I wanted to put a zero scape have all been torn up.  I wouldn't be surprised if he woke up tomorrow to discover she's had her guys finish the job.  I hope my friends will take the initiative in offering different kinds of help to him, since he's so anti-social and doesn't realize like I do, how many want to do something, and anything even if its only to give him money to pay for gas to visit or keep up with bills.  Though I will gladly accept any company, books, and Dr. Pepper. :)
