I received "Beads of Courage" for every procedure, poke, day of chemo, ect. This is me collecting them during my second round of chemotherapy.
Here I am discovering my true inner baldness!
Larry, our dog, was my "therapy dog" at home.
Larry had it pretty good when comforting me!
Mom told me to not play with my food, but it gets pretty boring in the hospital...you know?
Nedding to stay busy, but not feeling well enough to do anything major, I baked and cooked quite often.
This was my first blood transfusion, which took most of the day. I began to play with my tube in various ways!
I became the master of balancing things on my head. This is only one example, a water bottle with a straw carefully placed on top. The bald head gave me a little (ok, a lot) of an advantage!
