Third treatment

My friend Kathy will be taking me to my third treatment tomorrow. Geo has to work. But then he will have 4 days off so he will be able to take care of me and George. I am so excited to be able to stay home this time. Miquel was going to watch George for me but Atti and Cougan are sick so we will take him with us; mom will care for him.

I forgot to get my steroids til this morning, so I was late taking the first dose. But I got it before lunch so I am guessing that I am OK. Again the steroids made water taste like chlorine and I have a very scratchy voice, almost horse.

I wonder if this treatment will finish off my hair. I have never lost all of it. I shaved it off last time thinking is would all fall out and then I wouldn't have the mess. All that did was give me really bad razor burn and lots of ingrown hairs all over my head. Not pleasant or pretty. My hair grew about an eighth of an inch in two weeks, some very fine blond hair is a quarter of an inch. Anyone know if this is normal?

Geo and I spent the last week in Winnemucca NV. We took Georgie to see his grampa Gibb and Lisa. We had a great time. Georgie loves his gampa. They had a great time playing. Gibb took us on a tour of the city and then to see old abandoned silver and gold mines. It was really interesting. He showed us a hoist with a really deep hole under it. It had been caved in so we couldn't go investigate further (thankfully). I was worried that Geo and Gibb might get to adventurous and try to get into one of them but rationality prevailed and we all returned home safely.

Another high lite of the weekend was being invited to Zachary's Patriarchal blessing. It was really special to be there and participate in the spirit that was there. I knew Zach was a special person but it was fantastic to have it manifest in a blessing from Jesus Christ thru the Patriarch.
