Yes, I'm still here. Just not feeling all that well. Very difficult to get motivated to do anything - even type. Wednesdays and Thursdays are not my better days. Feel really tired...but can't sleep all the time! I have to have daily injections to keep my white count up. John has been such a sweetheart and has been doing them for me, even though he doesn't like to stick me with a needle. Well, Thursday morning he was stuck at the hospital, so I had to do it myself. I tried not to think about it, and just did it. I'll let him keep doing it when he's home, but now I know I can do it if/when I have to.
Mom and Dad came by and did some cleaning for me (thank-you, thank-you!). Dad was quite entertaining with the duster - and he'd just had cataract surgery. I told him I don't think my dining room has ever been dusted so well.
My hair is starting to thin. I have very thick hair, but not for long. It is coming out by the fistfuls. Thought I'd show you just how much hair I have, (well, had).

Love the 'hair' picture! Hope you got some rain. Love, Mom
I am trying to learn how to leave my comments. I have shared your blog with numerous people who are interested. Love you! Marge
Terri,
You will continue to be beautiful -hair or no hair!
I'm praying for your continued strength.
Love to you,
Carol
OK - where did Terri go? The pic looks like cousin "IT" - (Ok - Adam's family - I know it dates me...)
You are so brave with the injections. Knowing that you can step up to the plate if you have to is half the battle. Even though I've been in health care for ...xxx - well "many" years I'm not sure I'd be able to be brave enough to give myself an injection. I'm great sticking it to other people! :)
I agree with Carol- hair or no hair - you are beautiful through and through.....
Love,
MK
Your hair is gorgeous! And it will be again...in complete agreement that you are beautiful, hair or no hair! Picturing you giving yourself an injection fits my image of you as a "no nonsense, tough little cookie." Love to John and ceaseless prayers for you both. Love, Meg
Keeping you and John on my positive warm thoughts list~~I wished I could have observed the Dust Buster "Genie". You have the greatest parents...and it continues on through the generations. Love, Darlene
Hey, I just checked your blog, and I finally realized what your picture reminds me of- the Sesame Street where the barber cuts that guy's hair and by the end he's all covered under a huge pile that looks like a haystack!
Love L
You are brave sis, I know you may not see it, but we all do!
Love Tim
Terri,
I am just one of the phantom nurses that works with your husband, John. I am glad to hear you have a sense of humour and fight with this cancer "thing"... It is a sense of humour that will help you get through these tough times. We appreciate your husband and are glad you have his support and love. It truly will work miracles to have such positive family support. Thinking of you and throwing cancer fighting hugs your way.
Sincerely,
Donna Algeo, RN (Labor and Delivery)
