Chemo, Day 1, Second Session

(TH for Susan)

I talked with Susan's dad this morning, it sounds as though her reaction to her second chemo treatment (yesterday) has gone much better so far than the last time. He thought we would know more in the next 24 hours. She is going in this morning and tomorrow for fluids, which will hopefully keep her better hydrated and able to recover more quickly.

Buzz Party!

(IL for Susan)

Today Susan went in for her second session of chemo.

Yesterday, Susan wanted to resolve her hair issue...it's coming out in clumps so why not buzz it all off now before being sick with the chemo treatments this week. It's not bad enough that all the hair was coming out, but it hurt like "heck"! Liquid courage first! After shopping for a bunch of caps at REI with Tess and Ida, a big group joined Susan at the Rio for the strongest margaritas in town. It's was a crazy "pre-buzz" party. We made Monday Happy Hour history!

Then off to Susan's place. Joe brought his clippers and seeing that he was master shaver of his own head, he was designated the barber. Fred requested a temporal mohawk before it was all taken off. Not bad! Susan carried off the tough punk look. Within minutes, off with the rest...and leave it to Susan to still look stunning!
