Point B
EDIT AT BOTTOM:
The journey from Point A to Point B was traumatic. I had hair, and then I didn't. In small scraggly looking steps.
Last night we accelerated the trip. Paul shaved off the 20% that was left. And now I'm at Point B. Point B isn't all that bad. Not my first choice of hair-dos, but not all that bad. Because there's a little bit of fuzz left where Paul clippered, I'm wearing my new turban today instead of the wig. And I've gotten a lot of compliments on it.
Ciera reminded me this morning about the Amazing Race where Joyce (of Uchenna and Joyce) had to shave her head for a fast forward. And how beautiful she was after she lost all that hair. According to her, the hair loss has done the same thing for me. Before she got out of the truck this morning at school, she took a closeup of me with her cell phone. What's she going to do with THAT??
It was rather strange as Paul was sweeping up what was left of my hair off the floor to see that there was less down there than I would usually have after a haircut. So a whole heckuva lot fell out yesterday when I couldn't see myself.
Paul graduates with his MEd. a week from today! His thesis is turned in, his project is being printed, and his hood and cap and gown are here. I won't have chemo next Thursday, 'cause I don't want to be draggy on Graduation night. He's getting a new digicam for his gift. I was amazed at how much less they cost than they did the last time I bought a camera! Which was just 2 years ago. For about what I spent on our current 3 megapixel, I can now get a 7 with major zoom. I think I'm going to get an inexpensive photo printer as well. But that might be mine.
One more thing... I did something stupid, and brought a new nutrition bag and 3 cans of nutrition to work. But forgot the pump. So, instead of going home, I decided that I would just have to eat a real meal at lunchtime.
And eat I did! You guys... I ate a WHOLE CHICKEN BREAST!!!!! And some rice. That's the first time I've eaten a whole chicken breast since surgery last November. Now you watch... I'll probably be exhausted as my tummy tries to digest it...
Look what my silly Daddy did!!!! He said that if I was going down to peach fuzz, so was he. And when my peach fuzz falls out, he's gonna take the rest of it off. I hate to say it, but he has a heck of a lot more peach fuzz than I do!!!!

Wow! I had no idea Paul was working on his MEd! WTG, Paul! You'll have to take pics of him in his spiffy cap & gown.
And wow! Grats on the chick & rice! I hope it tasted good and I hope you didn't feel exhausted afterwards.
So when do we get to see a pic of you with your turban?
WTG Paul!! I am sorry it was so traumatic for you last night. I am sure you are beautiful with your cute bald head though. What a sweet thing for your Daddy to do. Love you friend. {{Evie}}

{{hugs}} for the hair loss, Evie. You have a good attitude about it, but I'm sure that was very hard.
Your dad is such a sweetheart...
((((hugs)))) Your dad is the coolest dad ever.
Your father is a precious, precious man! WTG, Dad!
Evie, your beauty radiates from the inside first and NOTHING can take that away. (The fact that you're just super adorable on the outside too- hair or no hair- is just a bonus!)
I'm so proud of Paul......and amazed by your Daddy's love....and in awe of your indomitable spirit!!! Yay appetite!
In all the "excitement" I'd forgotten about Paul working on his Masters. Congrats Paul!!
Your daddy never ceases to amaze me. No wonder you are what and who you are.
WTG on the chicken breast. Even I have trouble finishing a whole one. Your tummy must have been ready for some solids.
That is so sweet of your Daddy.
WTEat!!!
I heart your family! They are so loving & caring!!! You are so blessed to have them & vice versa.
Sorry about the hair but YK, some of the prettiest models IMO are the ones with little or no hair.
Your Dad is awesome and now the whole world knows it! :coolman:
WTG Paul!!!
Love your dad! LOL
WTG on eating so much!
That was VERY sweet of your daddy!
Evie, you have such a lovely supportive family. No wonder you are the remarkable woman that you are. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to lose your hair, but you sure are handling it with grace and style. Love you friend!! ((hugs)) Congrats to Paul on his Masters.
Congrats, Paul!
Feeling the love for your Daddy! That is just so sweet that he did that! God love that man!
Congrats to Paul on graduating! Congrats to you on eating...and your Daddy is the best.
