Visits

As I am going away for six weeks I wanted to have some visits with Durham friends I am going to miss while I’m gone. I started my day with Christy and Mary Lloyd. I then went to lunch with Lynn and ended the afternoon with Jan and her daughter Kim coming to see me on their way back to the mountains.

Jan had her second Chemo treatment yesterday and Kim went with her. It was a long day as they did not get into a treatment room until more than an hour after her scheduled time. Jan is doing great. They predicted her hair would fall out weeks ago and she still has it. She has buzzed it short so when it does fall out it won’t be big clumps.

She told me it has started to fluff out, but I told her she had more hair than I have without chemo. The good news is she has a really nice shaped head. I told her so since she can’t tell from the side.

Then tonight I had a multi hours long call with my friend Tricia who I haven’t talked to in ages. One call leads us into the need for three of four more calls since she is trying to make the world healthy. There is just not enough time in the day to keep up with everyone. What’s it going to be like when I get home in six weeks?
