Bald is Beautiful
It has been awhile.. Happy New Yr! yay for 2011 because 2010 sucked! it was a difficult and heartbreaking and but it also had some really good moments. so im gonna go with 2010 was difficult. Surgery and beginning a clinical trial that included radiation and chemo. oy. but i also had my graduation party that was so much fun/ vacation to DC with my wifey/ and had my one year anni with carlos. I have high hopes for 2011. My hair started falling out on New yrs eve. It was everywhere, when i scratched it came out in bulk. So my mom buzzed it off. Now my scar is on display for everyone to see. I cried alot in 2010, sometimes for very good reasons and sometimes for stupid reasons. i didnt cry so much when my hair started falling though. I knew it was coming, dr warned me but still...so now im rocking the bald look. Tomorrow is Carlos's 24th bday. I made him a box carrot cake and we are planning to go to the zoo. Im excited. something normal. I went to the support group yesterday and the biggest thing we discussed was taking things one day at a time. which is the name of my blog :) But its an interesting concept. I am guilty of always planning for the future. I am goal-oriented. How do I get to point b from a is something iv always planned for. but facing ur mortality puts things in perceptive. What is important in life all of the sudden takes first priorety.swry i cant spell... Thats where i am..
