Go Broncos!!

I admit that we are all a little crazy about the Boise State Broncos here in Boise. Mom, being the sports fan she is has become a bronco fan too. Whenever they play mom loves to watch and we make phone calls back and forth whenever something exciting happens. It is always a good game..truly the Broncos are never boring. Last week I called to remind mom that the game would be on in a few minutes. She wasn't happy..

"Well," she said, "They had better win, I am in no mood for them to lose!"

Thank goodness the Broncos pulled it off and won..because her beloved Angels and Dodgers have totally let her down and Chemo hasn't helped either..The side effects of chemo are surfacing daily and mom is facing them with humor and frustration. Who wouldn't be frustrated.

Just as predicted her hair began falling out about day 14 and continues to fall out daily. One of Luke's friends knit her a hat out of bamboo (who knew) yarn and it is her current favorite hat. She said she doesn't even look in the mirror..and just puts it on.

She figures she can save all of her grey hair and use it to make Christmas cards..ya know Santa's beard!

Tomorrow is another chemo treatment. Chemo treatment #2. Keep her in you heart tomorrow morning and especially the days following. It can be a bit bumpy for her the days following chemo.

I can't help but think of all the other people I love who have gone through this. It was hard, but they all pulled through. In fact this week Sally (my pal who had breast cancer) and Pat (my sister in photo who had breast cancer) have been helping me get through the dreaded swine flu.

Remember..bald is beautiful. Hair is highly overrated..right..right? Bald is the new black,

Bald rocks and rolls, bald is awesome..
