Chemo sucks so I shaved my head.

Yes, chemo hit me hard the other day. I'm just now coming off of two days worth of flu-like symptoms (body aches, fatigue, nausea, shakes) - still have the shakes and fatigue. Mom has been my Angel, coming and bringing me food - even though I told her not to. Thank god she ignored me. After failing to eat a cracker, mom comes over unanounced with a vanilla milkshake, a plain hamburger, and whatever else she thought I may be able to stomach from McDonalds. The shake and burger hit the spot and I felt better for having eaten. Then she cleaned my kitchen. I mean she CLEANED my kitchen! *sparkle* <---that was my kitchen talking. Then today she came over with soup and made me tea and proceeded to deep clean more of my house for me. Moms rock. :) So today I feel much better and can get on the computer. Typing is difficult 'cause of the shakes and I have to go back and do a lot of correcting. Grr.

After mom left, I got bored so I asked Jim to shave my head for me. This was interesting. We tried to get Erik to help but he ended up wacking me on the head with the clippers. lol When I showed him my head afterward, he touched it and gave me a kiss. Jim had me shave his head as well in what he called an act of solidarity. Awww... So here we are in all our glory:

I think it is sooo cute on both of you! I love the pic with Erik and the clippers. I am so glad that you have a hubby as wonderful as Jim to be by your side. You two are awesome!

Love you much!

Wow, seeing you without your glasses and your hair all gone, I just noticed how much you and Erik look alike--especially in the eyes! I guess that means he really IS your son, eh? LOL

Props to Jim for going skinhead with you! Now THAT'S what I call a loyal husband!
