WOW, the chemo treatment last Thursday really threw me for a loop. Because I had a biopsy first thing that morning, my day was long and I ended up at the hospital for 10 hours. The infusion took 3 hours, a lot longer than I had anticipated. I slept on and off, Steve was able to find a computer to keep busy. So went the social event of my week. Sleep took over soon after I got home.
Armed with more drugs than ever, for me, I didn't get sick from the treatment. This is VERY good. However, I was in bed for almost 3 days. Kitties couldn't believe their good fortune to have found another sleep companion 24-7. I hope the "normal" part of the cycle starts soon.
I had a busy morning, visiting the wig salon with Irene. It's come to this, so we're taking it on. Somehow fantasizing about trying on "glamour" wigs and actually sitting in the chair trying them on, isn't quite the same. Maybe Dolly Parton has a different take. Maybe by next week I'll be here to say "I'm sittin' pretty" too. Reality check: not a good look for me, right ??
Not much activity out of Igor of late. He lost his coat, boots and hat at the hospital last week. His hair is thinning and he's feeling queasy. Winter is coming, he's cold and no one offers to help. He faintly hears voices in his head shouting "DIE ... LOUSY ... *&#% ...". He can't make out the rest. He thinks it's just another nightmare, but we know better.
My thoughts are with you !! Thanks again for being YOU, so supportive and caring. Hope your holiday plans are easy, breezy and FUN. And know how much I care about you.

I think sleeping is good and not getting sick is even better. When you are fully awake I will be in touch to see what if anything I can do to help out.
Hang in there. The K-Man sends his love.

Kathy-
Do you have some good books to roll up in the covers with? How fun to have the the kitties with you.
10 hours at the hospital sounds terrible. We're hoping that won't happen again. You are a trooper.
Rest whenever you can!
Love, Sista
Kath, it is so good to have this blog as it lets us all know how things are going for you...10 hours -YIKES ! I love Bobby changing his passwords to kathy related..perhaps we should get it out of him sometime what h used?
FYI.Dolly partons take on hair is probably not a good fit for you-just in CASE you thought big hair would help....love you and see you soon.....Sarah
Kathy~
You have such a great attitude! Please try to keep up the blog so we know your status. I'm thinking 24/7 rolled up with the kitties was probably the best way for you to let the medecine work its powers against Igor. JT
Hi Kathy. Keep up the good fight. Igor is going down....xoxoxo
Kathy,
It was great to see you & Steve several days ago. Sorry we didn't know about Igor or the blog earlier! Keep up your great attitude! We're here supporting you. Love, Ann & Jim
