    Thank you for all the comments on my "Biker Chick" hair.  After the reaction from my family, it will be the hair that I pull out when I need to channel that inner Biker Chick for strength and sassiness.  But we did order "normal" hair yesterday, so that I can look as normal as possible to my children and my husband. http://www.tlcdirect.org/products/product.aspx?sku=7697

    The prom dress saga... THE BLACK ONE HASN'T SHOWN UP!!!!!  And I haven't gotten an email that they've shipped it.  So, currently, she's going to wear the green one, and she looks fabulous in it.  Today, Stephanie is color correcting her hair, making the brown more even, and adding highlights.  She's going to be the most beautiful girl at the prom.  Someone reminded me to order a boutinierre, but Ciera said that a friend of hers is having a bout making party at her house on Friday.  So she's going to make Rob's herself.

    Well, tomorrow is D day.  The day that an atomic bomb goes off in my body.  I'm praying that along with anything healthy that the bomb kills, it at least takes out a few cancer cells.  I have my "Cancer Sucks" shirt all layed out and ready to wear.  I have my list of questions for Dr. H.  I'm ready to go.  Except that I'm not.  I'm honestly quite scared of this.

    Steph is taking me in the morning, but was going to swap out with Mo in the afternoon.  Mo emailed me this morning that she has sinus crud, so she can't be in the chemo room.  My cousin, Debbie, is going to come instead and "babysit" me in the afternoon. 

    Then, I am blessed that my Grandmamma is flying into Denver on Friday night.  She and Mama will be coming down to stay with us for the weekend.  Mama is packing for a few extra days just in case I'm not up to snuff by Sunday.  I hope to goodness that I'm running around feeling great by Sunday!

    I was blessed today when I went to check my sick and vacation balances today to see if I could at least take one of the days this week off paid.  Since I've been making up time for Doctor's appointments, and since I took the overdose day off unpaid, I actually have 16.5 accrued hours of leave.  I get to take Thursday and Friday off paid.  SHEW!

    So, very specific prayer requests:

    • For my anxiety - that I would find God's peace
    • For side effects - that any that I suffer from can be controlled by meds, and that I don't suffer from any that can't be.
    • For my family - they're all worried.  Can't say as I blame them.
    • For my pain - I'm physically in a great deal of pain.  I'm using a wheelchair sometimes, because walking is just more than I can bear.  My pain patches aren't doing squat currently, and the doc and I will be having a long, hard talk about it tomorrow.

    Thanks so much, all.

    If I'm not up to posting (a good likelihood), I'll either have my mom post, or call Amy and let her know what's up and have her post.  That way, you guys will know at least that I survivied it, and you'll know what, specifically, we need to continue to lift in prayer.

    See you on the flip side!
