Another Spa Treatment Gone!
Today I had my second spa treatment. It went pretty quickly, considering they didn't need to show me the ropes this time. I tried to eat more this time before I started to feel sick and I think it helped. I have created a medication profile for Rick to use to help me get my meds on time. Hopefully this will help too. So far, I am doing a little better then the last time. I took a 3 hour nap and then got up and had soup with the girls (mine was mostly broth), but I keep it down with a glass of gatorade. This alone is huge. I couldn't think about putting anything in my mouth the last time for about 4 days. I am also up on the couch right now watching the girls do their stink bugs! I am definitely starting to feel more nausea as I sit here and I am do for drugs in an hour so I hope my new Queasy Pops will work! I will make this one short, because I am losing my energy quickly. I miss everyone! Please see the new quote added to my list. I was blessed to get one of my favorite emails today and this was how he ended it. Thanks for your beautiful words Uncle Dan.

Uncle Dan rocks!!!! Love the new hair, or lack there of!
Susi,
I thought of you all day yesterday, praying it would go a little easier on you second time around. Love your new Quote, it's comforting and peaceful just to read it. Love you, Marie
Dear Susie
Amazing uncle you have there.
I really hope it stays a bit easier this time.
I like to think of you and your stinkbugs.
Susan
Oh my God!! Susie!! I miss you...you are my hero!! Hope this spa day goes better than the last, but knowing you......you will refine it to the bone and by the next spa day you will have it down pat!! Stay strong and hang in there...know I am out here thinking about you daily!!
Love, Kathy...your FDT!! ;-)
Uncle Dan's quote is quite amazing...go there...........
Susi
What a gorgeous picture you are. You truly have a head that is shaped for beauty with and without hair. A lot of this sucks. The upside? Would you have every known what you looked like without hair if this hadn't happened? Okay, its a weak attempt at otpimism but what isn't weak is your strength(even tears, anger and "why me?" can be strong) We love you very much and admire you even more. And Rick.....can't think of a better rock for Susi to lean on when she needs a rest.
Love,
Kris and Bill
Hey Sue!
I love you bald! Now what you share with my dad grows. Birthdays, lack of hair, special people that touch my heart!
I hope that Carra can join us for the parade on Friday night. We would love to have her.
Let me know if there is anything I (or anyone else from Bunco) can do for you. Also, I have a dinner to drop off that Kate made when she was here over Thanksgiving.
And by the way, you look HOT!
Love to you!

Susie -
sorry, it's been a few days... been on the road... think of you all the time though...
Who knew my father was such the poet - he's quite the guy that one.
Dude, your hot with the shaved head... so let's talk about being bald - its awesome first off - not to mention haircuts are like what $10... and your SOOOOO right, who has time. Been blessed with a lesser head of hair for a while now and wouldn't change it...
But just in case you feel the need for an "up-do" give me a call, I have a couple of great wigs in storage I can send ya - of course they are pink...
OXOXOXOXOXOX
Cousin Rob
Susie,
You are my hero! You look great, have a fantastic attitude, even getting mad and taking control you do with flair. Keep strong, We are keeping you and the family in our prayers! PS. Love the stink bug shot!!!
