6. She is refusing to cut her hair

Jan 2012

She's currently on hormone treatment, rather than chemo. She says she wants to grow her own wig. She's getting really shaggy, and every time I look at her hair, she grins and goes, "Aha!"

She's taking the week off from work. She keeps on pulling muscles in her legs because she is compensating for the pain in her back. We will celebrate her birthday at the end of the week. She's making me go to a 3-D vampire movie in exchange for all the Anthony Hopkins films I've made her see.

All of our best to you, CMD.
