One Month

Yikes! If someone would have told me one month ago I would be in a hospital, I would have said, "YOU'RE CRAZY!" :-) I think it's a good thing I'm so tired otherwise I'd be climbing the walls; planning an escape; tying bed sheets together.

I'm proud to say I have not started watching daytime television......but I could be only weeks away from Jerry Springer or Judge something or other. It would be sad to beat leukemia only to lose my brain, so I'm fighting it.

I am essentially bald now. Ron calls be Peach Head. He has big heartedly offered to wax my noggin, but I declined his generous offer. The only hair that continues to hang on is anything you might pay to have waxed. My legs are very European.

I am reading like crazy; my Bible; my Kindle (which I love, love, love!), good magazines and trashy (Will Jennifer Aniston really steal Brad back??). I'm doing everything the Doctors tell me, rinsing my mouth, walking the halls (with a mask), eating well (OK it is hospital food, but not too bad) and trying to keep my spirts up.

Zero leukemia cells are still the first goal and I think everyone who has included me in their prayers and well wishes. I can feel your support and love from here. I miss and cherish all of you, and someday, when I'm back to my old, mundane, ordinary life, I hope I can repay a small part of your kindness.

With love and so much gratitude,

Connie
