...so here I am.
Today was a treatment day. Infusion only, no doctor visit. Everything went smoothly and I was out before by 10 AM...not bad. You might recall, on my last visit I shared a treatment room with a lovely lady who had been recently diagnosed and had just lost all of hair. She said someone had donated a wig for her but it was silver...she was not thrilled about that. I had held on to a box of wigs with every intention of donating them to an individual or an organization at some point but for some reason, I hadn't yet. Apparently I was waiting for her. I offered her the wigs and took them back to the clinic on the same day and left with the nurses to give to her. Today I took back the wig brush and spray conditioner I forgot to take the first time. I asked one of the nurses if she could pass on the supplies and she smiled and said she would be happy to. She then told me that the other patient (whose name I don't know) was so thrilled with the wigs. She said she cried (happy tears, I hope) when she got them and kept saying she needed to get me something. I told the nurse to please tell her that she's more than welcome for the wigs, I was happy to pass them on and she didn't need to get anything for me. I'm so thrilled that she was so thrilled. Sometimes the smallest things can be big things. You just never know.
It's never a bad idea to pay it forward.
I can do no more tonight. ZZZZZZZ
Love to all,
Andee
