Decided to try a mohawk last night!

The back is so curly!

Look at all that crazy gray hair!
I just wanted to show you all the new hair I've gotten in the last month. It's coming back in very gray and curly. Maybe I will keep it a little shorter, once it grows out completely.

My CTCA health care team contacted me this week. I won't need to return to the hospital until September.

Now my journey of healing really begins. I'm putting cancer behind me, and no looking in the rear view mirror!

You look cute! My hair came in curly especially in the back, too...and then it went back to being straight after I cut my hair. :( Congrats for a summer with no trips to CTCA!

Thanks, Ginny Marie! I don't know what will happen when my hair gets longer, but I'm enjoying what it is for now. Cancer teaches you that. Enjoy the place where you are. I would love to pick your brain sometime about what you learned.

You look very lovely in your curly gray hair, Carol = )

My "new" gray hairs are coarser and curlier than my "old" brown hairs. Makes for some "crazy" hair days!!!!

Deb, thanks for commenting! My gray hair was coarse, at first. I gave up on combing and styling and trying to flatten it down. I just let it go where it wanted. Since it has grown back in, it is soft and still curly, but not coarse at all. God is blessing in all kinds of ways!

Female in Motion Health Update

I am at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, IL, tonight. I flew in last night, spent all day in the waiting room and appointments. I have a headache, my feet hurt, my burns hurt and I'm exhausted. Man, I hate it when I'm whiny. The good news is, I'm doing well. As Dr. Citrin put it, I'm one tough woman. He was shocked that I was able to travel so soon after finishing radiation. He took one look at the burns under my arm and prescribed some aloe vera gel with lidocaine and some pain meds to help me sleep.  I will start Arimidex this week, too. In the bad news department, I am not in any state of mind to write tonight. I have to be up early in the morning to catch a flight home, so I will say good night and God bless each and every one of you: for your prayers, for your support, for being you. As I promised, I will post the piece I've been working on very soon. Thanks for understanding. *** Notable Quote:  " John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave w...

I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Image
Too much of a good thing is not good at all!  When I was a kid of six or eight, I had an obsession. It was a food obsession, particularly with Chicken in a Biskit crackers. It was a doomed relationship from the start, because even at that tender age, I realized the glaring spelling error. I found a box of those crackers in the cabinet one day, quietly put them under my shirt, and slipped downstairs to the family room, where I proceeded to watch Major Astro and eat the entire box . It wasn't much later when my tummy started to protest. Too much of a good thing was definitely not a good thing. After spending several hours in the bathroom that evening, I learned a valuable lesson: Even the best food doesn't taste good in reverse. Since that day, even the sight of one of those crackers makes me  slightly nauseated. I can't go near them. Seems like a lot of us are looking for something to fill in the nooks and crannies of our lives. The temporary satisfaction that an...
