Finally some new photos
I have posted here today some new photos which come courtesy of my sister, Susan. Thanks for taking the pictures!
There are two photos of me with my nieces - Samantha and Riley where you can get a nice view of my new hair (and of course the nieces too). This hair is still the grow out from the chemo. I haven't done anything else to it.
The other two photos have a story. Our friend Rich whose blog is referenced to your right under American in Germany http://onlyingermany.blogspot.com/wrote a very moving story of his life and first meeting with the twins. The story left me in tears. Rich also posted a photo with the story that showed his first meeting with Samantha - one of the twins. I was so inspired that I just had to paint it. The picture you see was painted for Rich and is the result of that inspiration. Rich is in Germany so it may take some time before the actual painting is delivered but, rest assured, he will eventually get it. I hope he likes it.
As for other news, my CT scan came back with no unusual blips or shadows. Just showed that I do have a brain after all! Yesterday, I had two cysts removed and now have two little stitches to show for it. They will be biopsied but don't really expect to find anything.
The trials with Social Security continue. Kaiser, Santa Teresa didn't help by delaying sending my records over to the SS office. They say they are supposed to go out in 7 - 10 working days but it is taking them 16 working days (they won't send them until next Wed) to send them over! Apparently, none of those people understand what it is like to have billls to pay! Kaiser, Redwood City hasn't sent theirs either and I couldn't even speak with them because they were "out to lunch". Aargh! At least things are moving.
Oh! I almost forgot. I have a date with Bachelor #3 (Mr. SeemsNormal). He is still seeming normal and we have a lot in common. I am really looking forward to this date. It is tomorrow - drinks and.......maybe......dinner.......if all goes well during the drinks phase! PFChangs.
That is all of my news. Just enjoying not having to be out on this rainy day.
