Fighting Breast Cancer

Today, Michael’s Aunt Denise and Uncle Pete flew into town from Atlanta for a visit.  We met them for dinner at The Old Town Tortilla Factory, a favorite restaurant of ours (they have The BEST Margaritas!!).  Aunt Denise gave me a gift bag filled with some of the best gifts that I could use as a cancer patient, namely The Chillow.  The Chillow is a pillow that through some kind of voodoo magic stays very cool.  You simply fill it with water, squeeze all of the air out of it, wrap it in a pillowcase and you can say “Good Night!” to hot flashes and night sweats.  I wish they made a Chillow mattress.

She also gave me some bonnets to wear when I sleep.  These are very useful because even though the little hair that I have left is only a half inch long right now, it’s still falling out very rapidly and I have been waking each day with little hairs all over the sheets.  The bonnets, though very “Little House on the Prairie“, keep me from shedding all over the place. 

Lastly, there was a hat and the most beautiful bracelet that was made by Aunt Denise.  I am very lucky to have such kind and loving people in my life.
