Jan 11

My hair is coming out more, but still maybe not enough to shave it. Do I sound like I'm waffling about shaving my head? Yeah, I guess a little. My wife brought my do-rags, my Notre Dame beany, and a hat, but I've never shaved my head before so I guess I'm holding out until the last possible time. You see more and more guys shaving their heads so its normal, its just not normal for me yet! Deb is coming in today, I haven't seen her in 3 or 4 days and I miss her. They found the chair they were talking about that folds out flat for sleeping and she is planning on staying overnight as soon as she can. That will sure help. I know I'll sleep better but we'll see how comfy the chair/bed is. I've been watching movies during the day to pass the time and Jim brought me a bunch of cowboy movies (they're my favorite) Most kids would watch cartoons on Sat mornings when we were little but not me, I would watch the cowboy movies. I even had my own pistols, holster and hat. Fanner 50s baby! Louis L'amour is one of my favorite authors, I think between me and my dad we had every one Louis ever wrote! // I just watched SILVERADO, man what a good movie, you should all see it! It has Kevin Kline, Danny Glover, Brian Dennehey, and a very young Kevin Costner! After my shower today I saw a lot of hair on my towel so I looked in the mirror and saw spots with no hair, and I don't mean my ears!!! LOL! I guess I'll have Deb shave it as soon as she can. Hello do-rags! I'm not very tan but I'm sure the top of my head is lily white, so it will probably look weird until I can get a little sun on it. // OK, we did it, no more waffling. When the doctor got here we asked her if Deb was still contageous and she said no, so we shaved my head and my goatee. It feels weird but probable looks worse. Deb just went down to the cafeteria for a soda and is bringing me an ice cream! You see why I missed her so much? LOL!!!! // Deb left about 5pm but we had a great visit. It is supposed to snow sometime tonight in the Antelope Valley, so I'd rather she got home before its supposed to hit. She is going to stay the night tomorrow night and that will be cool! Hey, a Friday night sleepover! LOL! My counts are still too low to go home, but my doctor said that about day 20 is when they usually jump up in a matter of a day or two. Today is day 19, so it should be soon, hopefully. I had to put a do-rag on later in the evening cause my head got cold, don't remember that happening before! Slept with it on, too! Maybe I'll get used to it and won't have to wear anything on my head. // Those of you who didn't pray that prayer yesterday, it's still there, you can still do it. The problem is that no one knows when they are going to die, one of you could get killed in a car accident on the way home from work or anytime soon, and once you die its too late too receive Jesus as Lord. This decision, is the most important decision anyone here on earth has to make, and don't be fooled, by not praying that prayer and giving your life to God, you are telling God, no! // I got some new Gaither CDs today and boy are they good! Thank you all for the emails, I really enjoy reading them. I have trouble, however, with the Instant Messages, there are so many things that happen thru the day that I can't keep up with them, but keep the emails coming! Thanks,
IN HIS HANDS,
