Good-Bye Halloween Halloween is over and I might never have such good costume opportunities, again. There were so many bald men I could have pulled off. And Women Bette Davis and Kristin Wiig have sported some nice high-forehead-looks. I could have some fun with with those characters! But I wasn't invited to any costume parties this year. And besides I had a lot to do on Halloween. Vote and Buy Candy I got slightly in the spirit, looking like a Pumpkin Head, when I early voted at the grocery store. Carving Chores I had to carve the Jack-0-Lantern and get it out on the porch. Then I geared up for my 3rd Radiation. What should I wear? It's Halloween after all. Radiation Fun It was a little frustrating not dressing up. After all, Don and I dressed up for chemo days. But I knew I was going to be wearing a drab hospital gown, so it was hardly worth the effort. I did wear my pumpkin head scarf, which they made me remove, before my treatment. I opened my eyes and watched the machine's "head" move over me. It was decorated with orange pumpkin lights. Quite festive! Then I thanked my 2 technicians who were dressed in matching tutus and I headed off to the dressing room. Oops! I forgot my scarf! "Hi!" I waved with an embarrassed grin to the man seated next in line, wearing his gown. I reached up with my hand, to see if I had indeed walked into the waiting area with my bald head. All I could do was laugh. We'll all in gowns, after all! Home At home, Don was making chili and the evening was balmy for trick-or-treaters. I was so happy to be feeling good. My cold was gone and my chemo symptoms have pretty much disappeared... except for numb toes. I was ready to answer the door to the kiddos. We only had 9, but that's okay. The chili was good and we caught an old Vincent Price thriller on TV.

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer, Covid & Coronary... I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done. On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021. CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C". Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent! I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post! Navigating This Mess! The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016. To find past posts, look below the "Archives" section, to find "Categories". Archives
