DAY +5
It’s been a good day so far.
It is evening now and I have a only low level pain. No morphine so far today but I did get a bit
of Oxycodone. It’s been a bad day for
appetite so I’m drinking lots of Ensure.
I am having an occasional bout of nausea so I’m getting drug for that. I
have barfed a couple of times but fairly easily; Far less severe than a “hold
my hair back please” eruption. I’m also getting a different drug for the
bladder pain. A very nice Urologist came
in and explained the pain is not from an infection but likely where the chemo
has eaten away at the mucous lining. He
changed the bladder so now my pee is blue instead of orange. I failed to notice if there was any green during
pee during the transition to blue. He
said the bladder lining only takes a few days to heal back so I hope to be past
it soon
The big event of the day was
the haircut. Something that I have been
concerned about. I have been dreading
how I would look with a shaved head. As
it happens I’m not quite bald yet. Tonight as I type I have rubbed my head a
couple times and a light covering of hair covers my hands. I’m pondering going ahead and cutting the
hair with the closest setting possible on my hair trimmers. I can’t actually shave the head because we
are not allowed razors. The look is not
as bad as I thought it would be but it’s yet not bald.
Friend S is the one that did
the cutting. Between us we came up with
a plan for the time when I will be billiard ball bald. I provided the baseball cap; a Big Orange cap
of course. Friend S supplied the hair and
this is what he created with the two................................
Well that is pretty much the events
of the day. Perhaps a bit boring but
much better than pain and nausea.
Later.

Bald is sexy. And your old hippy hat looks like someone I used to know.
Glad pain is better. Hugs.
Just getting on plane. Glad things are better today. Diggin the hair dude. B
Oh, c'mon B. Admit that you think bald is sexy too.
I want to know if the bald spot from your 9yr old bike crash is showing in this cut? I always thought it was shaped like a pork chop.
Glad you are feeling better.
Love,
Donor
Boone, you are a mess. So handsome with the haircut but I should have expected nothing less than Hipppie look with the cap. My youngest [a son, finally] grew up during the Hippie years so I know you are harmless and loveable with your long hair. But those P.J.s take the cake. You and Pauline could wear matching His and Hers with that version. Hang in there you are another day closer to healing!
Hey J. DIG the BALD. Hey Mr. Gregory - havent piulled an al;l nighter in a long time but it is looking like it will be one tonight. Adding that to the 4.5 hours of sleep from last night and I should be in excellent shape by the time I land back at BNA tomorrow night.
Hope you had a decent day - if you happen to have insomnia tonight feel free to skype me and keep me company as I work on deadlines for tomorrow. Affectionately BS
Hey David, it's Caycee again. I actually really like the short hair! You look swag! haha. And the long hair is HILARIOUS. Glad your pain is better :)
