Another GREAT day & a LIST of things that can help us!

Again, no aches-pains-weird feelings to report. This is a good thing. Just continued hair loss. A ton more in the shower this morning. Oh well, I am gonna fight for what remains until it becomes apparent that I have lost the hair battle.

If you want to help here are some things that would help us out a lot during my chemo days and the week that follows. Those are the days that have been the hardest for me during my last 2 chemos.
•help with the dishes which can pile up from one day to the next
•dinners. On days that I am weak and in pain it would be very helpful to have dinner taken care of. Our oven does not work so things that we usually eat are: pizza (pepperoni or cheese), mexican food, pasta dishes, chicken dishes, garden salad, Chinese dishes such as beef & broc, low mein noodles, house chicken, soups, and I am sure there are other things that are escaping my mind right now.

Yesterday Kerry brought me a warmable heat sack. You put it in the micro and place it where there is discomfort. Thank you! Hopefully I won’t need it too much next week but if I do I am sure that it will help.

Magdalena,
I am so glad to hear that you are feeling normal right now - you get a break, that's great! I am glad to be back from Ireland too though so I can now help you full time - you name it - cooking, cleaning, taking the girls, whatever! I love you and can't wait to see you this weekend (if not earlier!). Melissa
