Disappeared on you again, didn't I? There is a very good reason..but one (trust me on it!) I do NOT want to discuss, lol - lets say the problem is now rectified (and yes that is a huge clue). I go for Chemo again tomorrow, thats the 'big' one...then follow up IV's on Weds. and Thurs. - luckily, they don't bother me...or haven't anyway. Bad news is that along with everything else, I lost pretty much all my hair this weekend. Contrary to what Eric says, I do NOT look like S. Weaver in Aliens. Nope. Bald with little hair spatters (shaved down) is NOT a good look for me. I have been a big hair queen since the early 70's. I have naturally wavy hair that lent itself wonderfully to the Farrah Fawcett look in Charlies Angels. I still had that look when I met Eric 10 years ago. We knew I would lose the hair, so we trimmed it short 2 weeks ago.....but yesterday while in the bathtub...washing my hair...it came out by the handfull. Eric came in because he could hear me sobbing. KNOWING you will lose it is one thing. Having it just fall out in your hands is another. I'm fine.....just feeling...naked? So anyway...posting a couple freebies for you tonight...and will have one more for you . These tonight are from Anita, made with Bush Hollow Road :)
Just click on the images to download! Hopefully, I'll see you tomorrow! - Kim

ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful freebies. Keeping you in my thoughts. Best of luck with your next round of chemo.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adore the cats...(I have 5)....thanks so much for sharing these gifts!
ReplyDeleteYes I would be devastated to lose my hair .. and I don't have all that much to start with :) So I can imagine how hard it must be when you have been used to seeing lots of hair:( I miss your posts, and of course your freebies; but also your new kits (I buy as many as I can, and probably more than I should .. shhh the less the hubby knows the better!!) I wish you the very best in your fight against your disease .. it always amazes me how many bad things happen to such good people. I hope you know how much you mean to all of us out here in scrapland .. even tho I have never seen nor spoken to you, you are and have been a constant in my life for quite a while now; all the best and fight the good fight!! Hugs!
ReplyDeletePS...just remember "bald is beautiful" your badge of courage if you will, at least you are still with us, getting over this terrible disease, your hair will grow back and we are all still praying for you! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteYour courageous post tugged at my heart this morning! You are going through a major life-changing event; but, you still have it in your heart to bring beauty to others through your designs. You are in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteThank you ! My best friend going thru same thing right now. Hang in there !
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful! Your creations show the beauty that you possess and you are in my prayers and thoughts. I teach at the YMCA and several of them have GO PINK programs that offer free support and often free memberships. They are an awesome group of people! I have been blessed with good health so far, so I don't know how it feels except through what others have expressed. You are loved by so many. TY for your sharing.
ReplyDeleteHang in there and keep fighting the good fight... you have many who are rooting for you. Hugs
ReplyDeleteJudee
You are created beautiful in the image of God, hair or no hair! You're in my prayers as you navigate these rough waters. You are never alone. Thank you for sharing your story and know many are praying for you and thinking of you. Blessings.
ReplyDeletePrayers to you. My mom went thru this, it was hard for her. Someday you will look back and it will be a memory. Just take it one day at a time and try to be strong and depend on family for the days when you aren't. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteSaying prayers here too.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you.
Hugs
Know that we are all thinking positive thoughts for you and Eric both. I'm sure it is tough on him too. Hugs for me too.
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, I am so sorry you have to go through all of this. My best friend just had all her hair fall out from chemo so I know somewhat how it must feel. Sending you a warm hug and praying for your complete recovery and a full head of gorgeous hair.
ReplyDeleteKim, you are so brave and upbeat! You are my heroine! Sounds like you're doing great so hang in there!!1
ReplyDeleteThank you for updating us on how you are doing. You sound like you are doing wonderfully (all things considered). I hope and pray for a complete recovery for you.
ReplyDeleteI almost started crying. You're right - knowing does not ease the actual 'happening.' Keep your sense of humor - but also know that sobbing is okay too. Still praying for you. Wish we could all magically appear before your eyes for a large "group hug!" Know that our hearts are knit with yours.
ReplyDeleteWe will all be here pulling for you and waiting until whenever you are ready to do your work. Your generosity is a sign of your beautiful soul and that won't ever go away.
ReplyDeleteJennifer
I am so sorry for what you are experiencing. I find it amazing that you continue to bless us with your beautiful work while you are suffering. I am so thankful for you and all you do. You and you family will be in my prayers.
ReplyDeletePraying for you!
ReplyDeleteHang in there Kim. And be kind to yourself!
ReplyDeleteAhh, Kim, I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I can understand the hair part. It seems so unfair to have to go through the chemo, etc. and then lose your hair. Your crowning glory will reappear.
ReplyDeleteStill praying, Kim!
ReplyDeleteKim, I had the same thing happen to me 3 years ago. To me losing my hair was the worst part. It is hard to go through, but it does come back. I'll be praying for you and hoping everything goes well for you. Sending you a big HUG!!!
ReplyDeletepraying for you, hang in there
