And yes, even a haircut can help a little with such heaviness hanging about. :(Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018721209690768151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337375229926186501.post-2324591727316741292008-05-30T02:45:00.000-04:002008-05-30T02:45:00.000-04:00Hooray Terroni that Grandpa has found a doctor who...Hooray Terroni that Grandpa has found a doctor who knows what he's doing. What a relief for you.<BR/>And, I can attest to the fact that short hair is quite liberating. I'm enjoying my short hair, sort of.

My mom, a nurse, went with them and confirmed that the doc seems to know what he's doing. He sent Grandpa for a chest x-ray, did more extensive blood work, and plans to transfuse based on the results of said blood work. <BR/><BR/>In other news, I got a card from Anne, Jane's partner, today. She said she understands the huge risk I took for them and she wanted to thank me. She went on to say other amazing things that I won't repeat here because it'll make me cry. <BR/><BR/>And finally, I got a much-needed haircut. That may sound silly, but it was the perfect day for it. I feel lighter in more ways than one.<BR/><BR/>It has been a good day.Terronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737715891767920516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337375229926186501.post-77292078630428242092008-05-29T15:05:00.000-04:002008-05-29T15:05:00.000-04:00Yes.

At least for a while...<BR/><BR/>When my neighbor, Nona, was dying of cancer, she would look as if she were going to tip over that day and then go in for her blood and it was as if someone gave her a temporary elixir. I knew that it was just a bandaid, but it did buy her some more time...<BR/><BR/>And yes, I imagine how awful it would feel to know that you could not protect your spouse anymore. <BR/><BR/>Mostly, though...I feel for you, sweetie. It is hard to stand there and keep breathing normally, yes?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337375229926186501.post-89875735824207587882008-05-29T08:45:00.000-04:002008-05-29T08:45:00.000-04:00Can you contact his doctor and have a chat?Half Wa...Can you contact his doctor and have a chat?<BR/>Half Way isn't much to ask for.<BR/>I'm so sad for you Terroni.
