Thanks Ingrid! This is when I wish Matisse was still with us, as he was a wonderful calming factor for Aliza whenever she got stressed…just as she was his calming factor in his last days with us. My husband promises to give Aliza extra attention. Lulu promises to share. 🙂

Thanks Ann! I admit that I’m relying a bit on my humor to get me over the pangs of fear that crop up about the surgery. And yes, Aliza WILL become bald if she doesn’t stop it. I say, “Aliza, stop it!” and my husband says, “She doesn’t know what you’re saying.” Au contraire!! She does too. 😉

Hurry home to Aliza before she is totally bald!

Ahh Kate, another one who understands! I’m also liking the feedback to my crafty tube ideas. Might open a second Etsy shop with this idea. Can you imagine? And my luck it would be the most popular items sold! LOL

Yes Melissa, I’m picturing a hole that goes into some empty space, and…other stuff too gross to type! That sounds like quite an experience you had when you were 15. Sometimes I remind myself that I’m 45 and still obsessing about my hair like I did in high school. And then I cringe. And then I rationalize it and all is fine again in my little world. LOL

Great idea about the scarves – I remember how cool Rhoda looked – and I’ve got a zillion of them, w/ a few days to practice. LOL The finger puppet idea is perfect!!

And I think pre-planning for hair maintenance is the smartest idea ever (and not just because I’ve had to cut mine to make life easier for my own convalescence).

Best of luck with the surgery. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you making aquaintance with that private ocean view room 🙂

I had two tubes sticking out of my side for awhile and I still remember so vividly how as soon as they pulled the tube out and left me alone, I was trying to pull the holes open to see if I could look inside and see my guts. 🙂 I also remember being absolutely horrified by my hair (I was 15, afterall), especially when my (gorgeous) surgeon came in to check on me.

MCatherine has a good point. And I would love the idea of the tube cozy. HA!

Hope all goes well. Best of luck with the surgery, and make sure they’ve got that anti-nausea stuff really handy. That stuff is awesome. 🙂 And it probably wouldn’t hurt to ask for the frequent visitor upgrade. 😀
