haircut and yankee history...

a year ago today my dad and my uncle nati drove out to the hospital to bring out my hairdresser from my childhood and adulthood, luchy, so that she could cut my hair short in preparation for the chemotherapy that was about to begin the next day...it was the smartest thing to do at the time because i didnt want to see clumps of long hair when it would start to fall out...i remember being really nervous about starting chemo, but at the same time ready to start it and kill all the cancer cells that were in me..we saved all of my hair and put in a ziplock but later found out we could not donate it because it had to be a certain length for "locks of love"..the ziplock has been in our office for a while, i cannot bear to throw it out...maybe a wig can be made of it...i should really do research on that...

i went to see dr grossman on tuesday for my weekly checkup..he was back from vacation and came back with a cold...everything was good with me...while he was away my liver functions were a little elevated, which was a concern for the doctor covering for him, but after my blood test on tuesday, my liver functions were back to a normal level, praise God...tuesday was another big day...i stayed home and did not go into the city because i had to run a few errands...it felt GREAT to be alone and take care of TJ..i felt very independent and like my old self...TJ and I even went out to lunch..i love spending alone time with him....

final thing...today yankee history was made..derek jeter tied lou gehrig in hits...it was great to see it with tom and TJ...derek jeter is a GREAT baseball player..he will definitely take the express train to cooperstown one day....the yanks this year are reminding me of team they had in '96....they are great this year...
