Ok laying down the gauntlet...I will shave my head to join Skate with the hair loss...Who else is with me?...I will post the pic also after completed...

Well, I didn't shave my head, but last week I took about 13" off to donate, which would be enough to leave some people bald. Grin

Used to be down to my beer gut (although I don't drink Undecided

), now just down to my shoulders. MUCH less hassle when I go riding. Cheesy

Had mine cut already and started growing it out for another donate cycle. But, if Skat would like black/brown/grey/silver, I can grow it back and cut it for her... Suppose I can ditch the SS officer's cut and get a buzz cut, but none of my helmets will fit.

Well crap, I can't find the photo now. There is an old thread that has before and after from when I had it cut in 07. Serious metal head hair.

Lisa made her Dad take the Bug battery out of the Kubota today. And they started tilling for fall squash/pumpkins, a 4th variety of sweet corn (burgundy kernels) and fall salad stuff (greens, lettuce, cabbage, etc). We have somewhere in the vicinity of 100 heirloom tomatoes, they are very good for chemo patients... A/C at the guest facilities confirmed working...

I'll start stockpiling Bug customizing supplies when I get a couple checks under my belt. Have some back bills to kill off.

OK, now that smiles have been mentioned, a moment of seriousness.

Mouth care for chemo (and several other drug regimes):

You're going to have some really dry mouth -- that can lead to major dental problems in a hurry. So keep up the oral hygiene! You may need to shift products -- a lot of the mint flavors and "tartar control" ingredients can be irritating and painful to dry, fragile tissue. Also, use saliva substitutes. It's not just the liquid part that's lost, it's also the "snotty" part that's suppressed by the chemo. And see if you can get a scrip for some high fluoride toothpaste.

OK, professional rant is over -- let's ride!

Interesting info, doc. I surely never thought about it before.

Thank you for caring enough to post this because I do know people who were never told and had dental issues LONG after the cancer was kicked.

In my case I have an AWESOME dentist whom I went and saw right before my chemo started for a full review, cleaning and a presciption for that special toothpaste. He also gave me a special toothbrush with super super soft side bristles that do not irritate the gums.

As a result of using those items and drinking LOTS of water, even by my bed at night, things have been very good with my mouth and teeth.

I have my 6 month appointment in August, and they said if I need to come in earlier with any problems, to just walk in. They also said they can make flouride trays if things get bad (which they have not thankfully!).
I am grateful that I have a dentist like you who thinks of these things BEFORE they get to be an issue.

WHOOT - awesome! Cool

I actually RODE today! This is the first time this week - I've been having trouble with anemia and fatigue; not a good combo for riding.
It felt great to be out and I hope you all had some fun too. I dont know about y'all but it was 100 degrees humid here today....I kept moving just to stay cool!

God bless you Skat, you certainly do have a battle on your hands. I don't know what else to do but offer encouraging words, prayer, and tote the pink.

If anyone is interested in wearing a pink silicone wristband debossed with "Skat" let me know. I can get them to you for $2 each if I order ten. ( http://24hourwristbands.com/order-custom-silicone-wristbands/ )
Also, 2"X4" pink ribbon magnets for the scooter with "Skat" printed on them for $5 if I order ten. ( http://www.supportourribbons.com/custom-ribbon-magnet-sticker/37459/Skat )
Those were the best prices that I could find on personalized items and wanted to ask all of you before ordering my own. ---Scroop

I want a wristband - is it too weird for me to wear one too? I just love the idea, it promotes awareness and of course...its PINK! Cheesy

Okay, high five to ya then.

As for you Mr burned leg; if you can, get the Tefla pads (non-stick) to use so that your pants do not rub on the burn and irriate it.
You can coat the burn with aloe, then tape the Tefla pad in place and it should stay all day.
Careful in the shower - dont run hot water over the burn.
Shave your leg around the burn so the tape doesnt rip it out when you change bandages.
I'm probably sounding like a mom now...sorry! Wink
