Not Much to Say

It's spring break, and though I didn't plan for spring break to be during my third week, I'm thrilled that it is! Other than itching, I feel completely like me. The itching, well, I'm practically tearing off my skin. My head is much better. The oncologist prescribed a topical antibiotic. However, as my head has been healing I haven't wanted to wear my wig. I've gone out a lot wearing a buff, which is what contestants wear on the show Survivor. The buffs are easy to wear, wouldn't fall off in the strongest wind, and are so comfortable. I was self-conscious going out like that at first, but now I don't even think about it. At home I've given up and started going bald. I warned the kids that when I was in the bedroom I had to air out my head so it could heal, and it turned out they thought nothing of it. So now I just go around the house with naked head. One of these days I'll forget and walk out of the house like this. Could you imagine?

So it's spring break, and I'm hoping to do lots of fun things with the kids. We went bowling and to dinner with the Glasses on Saturday, which of course was a blast. Yesterday I took the kids to Atlantic City. It was fine when we were shopping at the outlets, but the boardwalk was like a tremendous wind tunnel. Coming back from Johnny Rocket's to Caesars, we made a run for it. Well, Allison was too cool to run with us. Today it's raining and we haven't done much of anything. I'm getting laundry done. Tomorrow it's supposed to rain again. Thursday I want to go up to NYC, but Allison wants to hang out with friends. We'll have to see if we can manage both. It is my good steroid day, after all. And then Friday morning I'm hoping to walk around Center City with the three of them, then have Ken take them home before I have to head to Penn. Ken will be gone for the weekend. Anyone who wants to entertain any of my kids while I hopefully sleep, they're all yours. Especially Jonah.

Oh, forgot to mention: I'm having my first problem with Aetna. Last treatment they paid 100% for my Neulasta shot, and this treatment, they've apparently "changed their procedure." They want me to pay $350 out of pocket! Crazy. So I don't know if I'm getting the shot. My dad has a friend who is an advocate, and she's willing to help me. I hope she can!
