Ok, these Chuck Norris jokes are cracking me up.
I had more platelets today and I always try to pretend that some studly, tri-athlete, handsome doctor has donated my blood products to me. So I get extra POWAH!
I'm now hooked to my least favorite chemo, nick-named El Diablo Rojo. It gives you the worst heart burn of all time and nothing makes it go away.
I am so bruised I look like I have been in a bad car wreck. Even tape bruises me now. I hope I don't get hit in the face, because then people might stare. *rolls eyes*
I tried hard to take a cute picture before my hair falls out again, but I smell kind of rank like chemo meds and my hair is getting wig-ish. It's creepy!

Zoe has a cold, but Momo G has magical powers.
I can do this. Thoughts of home and my bed bring me home.
I'm going to try to sleep. Your assignment today is to enjoy your week and be thankful. Thankful with pie.
PS - My Bro #1 who was my donor said that I'm just having a grudge match vs. the cancer.
That isn't a cute picture Deb -- it's a GORGEOUS picture! Despite everything you're going through, your face still shines with spirit. Not even the dreaded El Diablo Rojo can dim that.
As always, my thoughts are with you, and Zoe, and your beautiful family.
S.
xo and lots of +
Good to see you smiling in the pic.
Prayers headed your way.

Posted by: Patrick at November 25, 2008 07:17 AMYou look very nice. I really do hope you start feeling better soon and kick cancer's ass to the curb forever.
Get some rest and don't forget to eat some pie.
Posted by: lolismum at November 25, 2008 07:56 AMHush. You look beautiful in this picture. I can see your fighting spirit shining through. Chuck Norris would approve. ;)
Posted by: Jessica at November 25, 2008 08:27 AMLook at you, all pink with color and smiling big! I'm still not seeing the wig thing, but I don't know if you remember a woman that came to our bunko several years back that was a cousin of one of the members at the time. She lived over by Memorial Park. In any event, this young woman was fighting breast cancer and she said every time her hair fell out and came back, it was a different color! I've even heard of it coming back wavy, instead of straight. So, maybe you could put your order in now and get something different if you don't like what's you've got....although I've always thought it was just beautiful like it was...even really short!
Prayers and squeezy bear hugs to you and your family. We all love you gobs!
Denise :)
PS: Someone got the Chuck Norris PJ joke to you before I could.....still trying to find an original one!
Posted by: Denise at November 25, 2008 09:09 AMAwesome picture! You're doing it!
You make the homework too easy. Bring on the pie!
If you rearrange the letters in "Chuck Norris", they also spell "Crush Rock In". The words "with his fists" are understood.
Posted by: mrtl at November 25, 2008 09:35 AMYou can win this grudge match, YOU CAN!
Posted by: Ern at November 25, 2008 10:17 AMGod you look great-and I think it looks like you have George Clooney platelets I love that man.
Good luck with the "UGH" checmo. Think of PIE :)
Posted by: claire at November 25, 2008 10:20 AMShouldn't that be a requirement at the hospital? Only beautiful totally ripped men can be the ones in charge of the icky stuff?
"Excuse me miss, I need to stick this awful needle into you, but while I'm doing it I'd like you to stare longingly at my bare chest and large arms. Yes ma'm it's hospital policy for me to do the unpleasant tasks almost naked. The fireman boots, hat and pants are only to help you through this difficult time."
Posted by: Amber at November 25, 2008 12:08 PMLook at that pic, you are amazing. Even with the crap thrown at you, you are smiling. And you can see the look in your eyes. You are going to kick ass once again.
MMMMM pie. Yes, just because you said so, I shall have pie. But I am also walking 5 miles that morning, doesn't that help offset the situation - heehee.

Posted by: Denise at November 25, 2008 03:10 PMWow! You look great Deb. I hope the heart burn eases up for you. As always you are in my prayers.
Posted by: Yvonne at November 25, 2008 04:12 PMAs I do check to see how you are doing every once and awhile and see the pics of Zoe. I have come to read this. Debbie if there is anything anything at all that I can help you or your family with please let me know.
Posted by: Lisa at November 25, 2008 04:25 PMMah-vuh-lous! Simply Mah-vuh-lous! That's how you look!! I'm not kidding. I'm not sugar-coating it either. Your indomitable spirit is blazing through every single cell of your body and it soooo very much shows in this pic!
Wow...my Debu_Hero, I actually read your blog, replied, *AND DIDN'T CRY!* That's strictly because I'm very positive about all of this and you are looking amazingly hale and hearty.
Pssst....The Secret, The Secret, The Secret. *Visualization*
Yesssss!

"If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you."
Blessings on you and yours!
Posted by: Monica the tiara chick at November 25, 2008 05:27 PMI think that you're getting Michael Phelps blood products. The man is amazing! I think I have a new idea...a blood drive for Olympians!
You really look great Deb, keep smiling.

Posted by: Angie at November 25, 2008 06:04 PMI know in the scheme of things, when this happens doesn't mean very much, but it seems to me particularly cruel and heartless for it to pop its ugly head up on the eve of the holidays.
I will give thanks on Thursday for knowing you in cyber space, for being witness to your struggles, to your courage, to your love for your Bird Talker and your parents and family, and to the love of your family for you, in all your perfect imperfections and heart full of love.
Posted by: Loretta at November 25, 2008 06:35 PMGREAT photo and blog entry! Sorry you're stuck (and I do mean stuck) there for Thanksgiving.
