hello, sun in my face: 09/26/14

Round 3. Done. In the Books.

half-way point of chemo, people! can i get a whoop whoop! today went well, and quicker than last time. 8am–3:30p.

daniel drove me there, and stayed with me until about 12:30, then Murf arrived, and Mary Jo, then Lauren, then Brigid, then my mom and aunt Susie, then Terrell! So many lovelies, all in one room. it was really special that my mom was able to come because of her Parkinson's–she drove down to Susie's first, they had lunch, and then drove to see me. so sweet of them both and thanks! it really meant a lot. at one point, when we had 7 people, plus me, in the room, i looked at the nurse and asked her if this was too many people. she looked at me, smiled, and said, "no way. we love seeing all the support you have", and gave my arm a gentle squeeze.

so now it's the wait of the uckies for the next couple weeks or so. but i do so love this day of chemo because i feel good for the most part. tomorrow when i wake up, i'll probably feel not-so-good, but we shall see. you never know, and i'm always open for change.

so again, thanks to everyone who could come today, for reading poetry to me, rubbing my shiny bald head, providing me with kombucha and beautiful necklaces, nourishment, more hats, and most of all, that little touch and look in your eyes, into my eyes, that simply says love.

much,

hol
