Strong Biceps

"I Can Do That Now!"

Another day, another new discovery, and another major milestone accomplished for Rene. Right now she cannot stand with aid so taking a shower is seated experience for her.

Prior to today, I would have to help her get out of her shower chair when finished. She told me that she wanted to try this without my aid and I stepped back to watch her stand up without any problems.

Shave And Haircut? One Buck.

We both agree that she is having less hair to wash and brush each day. She is at the point where I want her to wear a hat to guard against the sun's rays. I definitely feel she will be completely bald when she completes her fifth tour of chemo at this point.

On the flip side of this, her mental state is even stronger since she has begun wearing her new wardrobe. She didn't realize how much of positive impact it would have on her.

I think she enjoys the mental sight of me potentially wrestling for the last garment in her size with another woman. It is a scary thought for me also since I am completely out numbered when I go into one of her favorite clothing stores!
