Nonnie felt surprisingly energetic and strong throughout the entire day. She told me that she went on a few walks and caught up on some television shows today. Her spirits sounded high and she even joked about how her hair has begun to fall out. She started using a lint brush to clean her pillow but there wasn't enough tape on the roll. A towel now rests over her pillow to catch the hair. Tomorrow, Nonnie's "care person" Robert is going to help her cut her hair off using clippers. Despite this recent event, she still has the most positive attitude and is actually excited to try on her new hats and wig that has finally arrived.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
By 10:00 A.M. this morning, Nonnie had not heard from Papa since he had gone home yesterday. She was getting worried about him when he walked in the room and rushed over to put on a mask and gloves. He woke up at home last night at 3:00 A.M. with a headache and sore throat. He used all of these precautions because he did not want to expose Nonnie to any sickness. Check this out......Papa drove from Riverside to Los Angeles to make sure she had clean underwear. He wiped down the entire room with disinfectant and cleaned behind himself as he walked out the door. Papa was there for a total of 10 minutes, and got back on the freeway to make the return trip. You can't ask for a more supportive husband. We need him to get rested up over the next couple of days before her sister Carol and Tony get in this weekend from Oregon.

Dearest Linda:
ReplyDeleteWords are so inadequate to express how much I just don’t like what you’re having to go through. But, feeling the love that is in every message written by Jeff and the subsequent outpouring of love through the written comments tells me that you are not going through this alone. We are ALL with you. Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, we all need one. And, you make it so easy to be a member of your family because, my friend… wherever you go, no matter what the weather, you always bring your own sunshine. You wrap that warmth around each and every person that comes in contact with you. Thank you.
Now remember, every evening when you go to sleep, turn your worries over to God. He’s going to be up all night anyway!
Thoughtfully,
Kathi

Well, it sounds like we better hurry up and get down there! Linda, I can't wait to see you in your new wig--it sounds like a lot of thought went into it and I am sure it will be perfect.
ReplyDeleteJeff, I think you must be the most "techie" person of all! Did you notice there are no comments under the cry for tech help?? I'm just hoping that after I type this, I can get it posted :)
Love you guys and I can't wait to get there--I'll look forward to doing whatever I can do to help, although it sounds like you are all doing just fine!
Testing...testing.
ReplyDeleteTen Reasons Why Its Good to Not Have Hair:
ReplyDelete1. No more "bad hair" days;
2. You can get ready much faster;
3. Its okay if you can't find your favorite brush;
4. You save a ton of $$$ at the hairdresser;
5. You are much cooler in hot weather;

8. You can go to the beach and not worry about your hair going limp or getting the frizzies;
9. You don't have to worry about running out of hairspray; and

I have been there and done that - it wasn't so bad. Take care and know you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
