Surprise!

Well, that nice quiet pre-birthday dinner I thought I was having with Michelle tonight (see next entry) turned out to be a surprise party! And I had no idea.

My favorite Fresno peeps and my support throughout all of this: Pam, Jay, Leslie, David, Lisa, Ed, Rick, Kathryn, Ron and Michelle and me.

What a great night! Lots of laughs. A fantastic end to my feel good days, and a big emotional boost as I head into Round 4.

    Sweetie: You look great in all the wigs or with no wig. Happy Birthday with as little pain, nausea and general crappiness as possible. And thank God that varicose vein on your inner thigh will be gone; I’ve always wondered about it!

    By the way, Chris and I have joined her son Mark and our daughter-in-law Mitsi, both nurses, as you know, for wonderful meals at Max many times when we’ve been in town. We’ll definitely come see you next time we’re up there to see them and their two kids.

    Love and loads of detoxifying thoughts.
