Hair update and Audrey update

Hair update today.


Looks can be deceiving. Until you get closer.


Yep that’s scalp you see there. It’s SUPER thin there.


Again. Super thin. Bangs are barely there anymore.


Back of the head. Not sure if that’s a scan from hair falling out or not but it does come out in clumps at times. So who knows. Plus - I don’t feel anything back there except I know my brush is hitting scalp when I brush.


The hair that came out from my shower. Yeah. Showering makes it come out faster. I brush before and after shower so 1/2 is prior to shower, 1/2 after. Sigh.

This isn’t posted for sympathy, just documenting what’s going on. This is one month to the day from the last disconnect from chemo pump. You would think this would slow down by now, but nope. Sigh. This too shall pass. We will wait for it to grow back and see what color/texture I get. I’m voting GRAY and curls.




Still doesn’t look too shabby. Still debating going short as the braid and pony tail get thinner and thinner.

Update on bleeding stoma or bleeding skin around stoma. There is no blood at all upon flange change. No blood. One raw spot on the right side... brushing around both sides. Nothing horrible. It’s looking good. Well good, since it’s been abused a bit during surgery. So all is well in Audrey’s world. Or at least her neighborhood.

Christmas in Fl

Yep after surgery on Thursday prior to Christmas I went to FL for the holidays :)
Now don’t get me wrong, I did NOT drive here or there. I just relaxed and let others take care of details

We did get all the way down when it dawned on men that I left ALL the stocking stuffers here in Warmer Robins. Der!!

Oh well, second Christmas was bad here Wednesday night when we came home :)

We left on Christmas Eve day.
We went out to eat dinner at Okinawa. It was delish! The last time we went there I was on Optifast. It was nice to eat some of the food stuff! I still don’t have the capacity to eat a lot but I enjoyed it all!! Yum!!


We then went to the Destin Commons to watch The Shape of Water as it’s not playing anywhere near us and it’s an independent film. It was too much sex and nudity in the beginning but the story was good and we all enjoyed it!













Christmas Day was great fun opening presents and enjoying the day!






Santa not being too sneaky :)


My pooper I really wanted ;)


Liz and her Xbox.


Angela in snuggly blanket.


The aftermath!!


XBox One. She really wanted the Nintendo switch but doesn’t know to not play games and pick a more expensive item then dropping the lower price one as an option. Silly girl. She got the more expensive option. :)


Too funny! Embroidered on a TP roll. ;)


Fun hat!!


Everyone back on devices and Angela snuggled in her new electronic throw!


Merry Christmas!!




Camellia from my back yard. Pretty. I have a white one in the front as well ;)

That moment when you.....

That moment when you are unloading gifts and realize you left ALL the stocking stuffers at the house - FIVE hours away.

Sigh. Guess Christmas is extended a bit this year!
