Pictures!!

Here's a picture of me completely bald taken just after my last chemo. Pretty head, eh? Scroll down to see my sprouting hair.....
Here's a picture of me today. I'm growing a little bit of hair. I actually took off my hat when we went out for dinner on Friday night. I was having a hot flash and just couldn't take it anymore so I took it off. Interestingly enough, people didn't stare but they did pretend to be looking around the restaurant and their gaze ended up on me. Well, I guess if I saw a practically bald woman I would stare, too! LOL!!

This is the radiation machine. It also takes x-rays. I lie on the table and this machine moves all over the place and those things on the side move. The part on the top is the actual radiation part and it moves all the way down to radiate me from all different angles. I'm not sure if that makes sense. It's hard to explain. Especially since I have to lie there, very still and can't move my head so all I can see is what I can see from my perifial (sp?) vision. Again, I don't even know if that makes sense. Anyway, I just wanted to show you how frigging huge this machine is.

This picture is the "view" I have from the table. It's directly above the big huge machine and you lie there and look at the pretty picture and they play whatever music you want. On Friday they played me some Elton John. Captain Fantastic. I love that song so I'm lying there singing away. At the end they come in and say "wow, you really like Elton John." I go "Yah, how do you know?" She says "Oh we have a microphone attached to the machine so we can hear you - you know, in case you're in distress or something. But we could also hear you singing. You're pretty good." OMG!! How embarrassing is that? Although, I did like the "you're pretty good" part - even though I know I'm not! ROFL!!

Here's Kevin's tattoo. It's growing on me although I still wish he hadn't done it. This is when it was only a day old so it's really red. (post entry note: I removed the picture because it occurred to me, many months later, that I really shouldn't have our last name posted on my blog.)

Here's a picture of Andrew & I in Vegas. I wore my hats most of the time. I wore my wig on Sunday night. We went to a reception and then out to dinner with Andrew co-worker, Paul and one of their suppliers. After dinner we wanted to hit the casino but my feet were killing me in my high heels so I went up to the room to change and ended up changing into a hat, too. The wig just isn't me. Anyway, I love love love this picture!! I had meant to get a platinum wig before we went but couldn't get one in time so this will have to do.

So there you have it, my picture gallery. Exciting, eh? LOL!!
