Round #2 and Hair Cut Day

Today was chemo #2. The blood test done just prior to chemo showed the white blood cells had recovered so well that the counts were actually above what they were prior to chemo #1. That was very good news. The day was beautiful and we were able to spend much of the time out in the sun on the deck along with our mascot Kemo Sabe. It made the process much more pleasant, as if you can say chemotherapy is pleasant.


This morning we discovered that the hair had begun taking its vacation. So we decided to send it on its way just a little bit early. We got home late afternoon and were surprised with a bunch of goodies and a movie from our daughter Robyn. That was soon followed by the delivery of a wonderful meal, thank you Heather. After supper we went outside and Len gave me a buzz cut. The picture to the right shows me with two of my grand kids. We expect that in the next couple days I will really shine!

With all this going on and Len working a week on week off schedule there was a concern about keeping up the lawn. I would generally cut the grass on the weeks that Len was working but that won't be practical this year. With the fenced in yard and only a small gate we could not use a commercial lawn service so our son and two son-in-laws came out and built us a new gate. Their fine work is shown below. Thank you Dan, Dustin and Jason.
