Time to Get a Haircut
December 27, 2009 by mommyjenni
His hair fell out in clumps today. I teared up and he said, “Time to get a haircut.” He seems fine with it all. It’s me that falls apart every time something new happens.
Do you ever just feel like nothing is going your way? I decided that it wasn’t cancer when I sat in the hospital room, but the doctors said otherwise. I decided that they would get it all with the surgery, but the radiologist disagreed. So I decided that his blood work would be fine and markers would go back to normal after the tumor was removed, but the oncologist said, “Chemo.” Then I geared up and decided that he wouldn’t get sick, I was wrong again. Hair fell out in clumps today, and he says, “Time to get a haircut.”
I am ready for things to go the way that I want them to.
Bald is beautiful!
This comment from colleague Todd Chambers, a survivor and generally great guy, came by e-mail last night. It’s worth sharing:
Randy,
Just been reading the updates at Reddick Family Web. Sometimes there are some gates of life that get in our way, but we will open and pass through.
Tell Kenneth to keep on keeping on. Phenergan seemed to work ok for me on the nausea and stuff, didn’t take it all away, but most of it.
I’ll let Barbie know and we will keep up praying.
I’ve said many, many times — “I am ready for things to go the way that I want them to”
Hope,
Todd
