Grrrr... I blame Bob

We all know that if Bob hadn't acted up, I wouldn't be in my current situation.
No, I'm not talking about surgery, chemo and radiation - I'm talking about not being able to eat after 8pm and not being able to drink after midnight. Once again I am forced into self-discipline. I HATE THAT!
It doesn't matter that I'm not really hungry. It's the point. Sigh. I'm going to go get a drink and lay down. Maybe I'll fall asleep and wake up just in time to get ready to go to the hospital for the PowerPort installation. Sigh...
On the hand, I am gearing up for my new chemo hair. I am going to have Lina's father cut my hair just like Halle Berry and then dye it strawberry blonde. Or vice versa - I can never remember which goes first. Then later but before August 1 (first chemo date) I will be putting pink stripes/chunks/things in. I was going to try and do it this week but Bob was fussing too much and I couldn't even think straight.

I did find out that my echo was good. I do have a heart and it is working properly. This was based on the authority of my crack medical team Jessica and Casey. :) Jessica also told me that I have another 100 years. WooHoo. I now can sleep easier now. Well not as good as if I could have a snack or something right before bed but almost.
