My great friend Tom who lives in CA and is in Nursing school sent me 8 books, YES EIGHT books!!! I was sooo excited. Brian had already given me one too! Boy, with all this literature, I have a lot of catching up to do :) I can't wait to dig my heels into these books and see what I can figure out. I have read a lot online and it sometimes makes me crazy. Seeing all the people with their bald heads!
So, last night I was plucking out my grays, and I was really appreciating EVERY hair I was picking out! I was thinking in the back of my head that one day I might wish I could even pluck ONE hair on my head. It's too soon to tell. Maybe I will be the one who doesn't have to lose my hair:) maybe just maybe!
I found out about the PET scan. The nurse called me and told me that some cases require you have it and some don't. At this point in time mine does not. Maybe after the other tests it might, but for now no PET scan.
Friday is hospital day...WOO HOO. I am having CT scan, Bone scan, Chest x-ray, ECG, blood work and topped off with a nice visit to the radiation doc! COOL, huh? It's weird to be a patient when for so long I've been on the opposite side. I appreciate nurses better and truly understand the "waiting" for everything. At least I have some great reading material for the wait! Thanks Tom :) and you too B!

You are too kind and I just wish everyone that reads this blog could know the wonderful Suzy Q that I know...
I hope I didn't overwhelm you with books, but I only picked the ones that looked good...I can't help if there were 8 that all looked REALLY good!
Just wait until you get my next box of penguins! Whoops, I let the cat out of the bag about your penguin collection! :-)
Tom,
Brian was truly touched that there was a book JUST FOR HIM :) Thank you for thinking of the husband too!
