| Me...au naturel!!!! |
How are things in your corner of the world?! Hope all of you Moms out there had a wonderful Mother's Day. I sure did. Started the day with church & even was able to go to Bible class this morning...mostly because my hubby was teaching the class. I received a Mother's Day gift from a wonderful friend & also a belated birthday preseng from another sweet friend. Then off to lunch at Enjoy China with the fam. More presents; peanuts & Pepsi (you southerners will understand that one), beautiful gold earrings & a gorgeous new scarf. We had a grand old time!!
Things have been amazing the last week or so. I've felt wonderful, have my appetite back & my energy has increased. We went to the cabin this past weekend & rode 4-wheelers all weekend. What a great time that was. Just me, Ed & our 3 grandsons. Those 4-wheelers were running the whole time we were there. Our oldest even learned how to work with the wench!
My next "spa treatments" are Wednesday & Thursday this week (May 11 & 12). Keep me in your thoughts & prayers. I'm actually looking forward to them. Just one more step in the process; one more step closer to DONE!!!
The other big "happening" this past week is; as you can see I lost all my hair. It had been coming out all last week & I was hoping it would last until today, Mother's Day. Well, no such luck! By Friday I looked like my Papaw Rowe! Just almost bald in the front/center/top of my head!!! So when Ed got home I had him shave it all off. It was a little emotional at first but then I realized how free I felt. I've never really liked my hair anyway & hopefully it will come back thick & straight...color, I could care less! So that is why I've included some pictures of myself in different styles of baldness so if you see me out anywhere in any of these "get-ups" you'll recognize me!!
Thanks for all the prayers, thoughts, cards, flowers & well wishes you have all showered me with over the past couple months. I couldn't have done this without you!! Stay tuned for more chemo chonicles!!!
Love ya all!

ReplyDeleteYou look great Rhonda. You are inspiring...
ReplyDeleteThanks Ladies! I have been feeling great & plan to after this treatment also. I really want to go to the cabin this weekend for some R & R with my hubby & ride 4-wheelers again. We'll see how this round treats me. Pray for minimal side effects & nausea. I'm loving my life & have no doubt whatsoever that God will bring me thru this; whole & healthy on the other side!
ReplyDeleteKeep the prayers coming everyone!!!
Hi beautiful... I like wig with frameless, but even more, I like the bald and the bandana. From where I'm looking, it shows off your character, grace , strength, and beauty the most. Sincerely.
ReplyDeleteStill praying and sending love. One of these days we'll make it there for a visit and a real in-person squeeze. XO Michelle Trail
