She's a hit!

Call her what you may--Shirley, Sasha Fierce, Shelly, Sandra D, Gus--but she's definitely a hit!  I had so many complements, although thinking about it now I'm not sure if they were sincere or if people were just trying to be nice.  I still feel very awkward and am not so sure I really like the way I look.  I know over time I will get used to it and I'm sure I'll become accustomed to how the wig makes me look but for now I'm still not so crazy about it.

I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by how I look with my head shaved.  I think I look pretty good bald, if I do say so myself.  I have a fairly nicely shaped head; no major bumps or dents!  I think I can carry the Mister Clean look and pretty well at that!

I'm getting very excited about being back in Alabama with my family for Thanksgiving.  I will be so happy to see everyone.  I am super excited about the Iron Bowl and of course tailgating.  The fact that I may be too tired is still in the back of my mind but I'm hoping the adrenaline will kick in and I'll be fine.

I must admit, I am a tad bit anxious about my next cycle of chemo just because I have been feeling so good lately and don't want to be feeling so down again.  Trying to stay positive though, at least I got to enjoy 10 great days and I will have more to come, I'll just have to get through another little bump in the road.  Good thing is I'll be surrounded by my loving family who I know will spoil me along with a few very good friends who I know will do everything in their power to keep me comfortable and safe.
