Grandpa is loosing his hair and I need some one to come and vacuum . . . Wake up Smith, I have a job for you ! (Can you believe he sleeps with his toy vacuum?)
Grandpa finished up brain radiation today and got his graduation papers. He will return to radiation for his lung a week from today. Before leaving radiation today Ger met with Dr. Herold who gave him a THUMBS UP for doing so well these past 2 weeks. No side effects at all . . . until today.
Ger wasn't feeling great yesterday but we had a good day starting with Charles Osgood's show, SUNDAY MORNING. Then it was off to Sam's club for a few much needed items. Wine and beer were NOT included in this shopping event so bring your own if you're coming to visit.
Last night was low key and we were asleep by 10:30 PM.
Ger says he woke up feeling BLAUGH today along with loosing clumps of hair. He went for his last brain radiation and brought home his "mask" that was put on him during the treatments to keep his head still. The mask was made to fit over his face and then be anchored to the table during treatment. It is now ours to do with what we want. I did suggest hanging it on the wall like a deer head but Ger really isn't for that plan. He is talking about making it into a planter.
Tomorrow starts chemotherapy at 8:30 AM. I think the doctors are trying to kill us with these early morning appointments. Chemo on the first day of each round will last about 6 hours. We don't know what to expect so it is all an adventure to us.
WE will keep you posted and also let you know who sheds more hair, Ger or Mookie the Dog.
