Hiya Kelly,

Thanks for the encouragement. I had so much pain on my first round that I will talk to the Dr. about Monday when I see him.

I went wig shopping today. I made the best of it. I tried every wig on in the shop and there were a lot of wigs. I did a little skit with each wig. Everyone laughed.
