Bring It On

I am happy to announce that we are ready for the second chemo treatment tomorrow. 

This morning after lugging myself around the Century Village circuit twice I took Cele to a morning optometrist appointment which took forever and was pleasantly uneventful.  We got home in time for lunch and a quick lie-down before Jeremy got home from another computer job (keep bringin' in the money honey) and we all three went off to Cele's second wig appointment. 

Cele had all her hair cut off at the salon today which is a big relief, as it has been shedding very quickly now and is always finding its way in Cele's throat.  Her wig was fitted to her hairless head and thinned out a little so it doesn't look like a Dynasty prop, and the result is fantastic.  It looks so natural, Jeremy was so amazed at how good it come out (it was good before but it looks much better now that it's been fitted and cut a little).  While we were at the salon Jeremy bought himself a new watch which has given him all kinds of joy, and after we were all done we walked around the centre and Cele had a spider (ice-cream soda for the Americans) and Jeremy had a chocolate milkshake.  Cele walked around the whole time without her walker, just leaning on Jeremy and I, and it was a very nice outing for us all.

On the way home we dropped by Cele's friend Annie's place as she was having difficulty connecting her printer.  After cursing Microsoft for an hour Jeremy gave up, but we managed to convince Cele to go and see In Her Shoes with Annie.  Jeremy and I took ourselves out for a nice romantic dinner at a Japanese restaurant, especially as he's flying back to West Hartford tomorrow morning.  I'm really going to miss having him to bounce off here, but he'll only be gone a week.  An hour after we got home Cele got back from her "date", they both loved the film and had a great time.  I'm so glad, because Cele won't be able to get out for about the next week as she'll be recovering from her next treatment.

So tomorrow I have a busy day, taking J to the airport and then sitting through the chemo with Gran.  And to top it off, there is a hurricane heading our way, expected to hit around the weekend.  Her name is Wilma.  I would love to know which name they have lined up for the hurricane after this one.
