Re: I think Joe would have liked this....
Shelia,
I loved this! It reminds me of the time I was going through chemo and had not a hair on my head. My husband was driving me down to Mayo in Jacksonville (about a three hour drive) for another treatment and I wasn't feeling well because my Hgb had dropped to 9. I had my seat reclined so I could doze and all of a sudden, I sat straight up and announced,"I'm glad I don't have any hair!" My husband looked at me with the strangest look on his face. It was a mixture of~should I look for the nearest mental hospital and disbelief. I told him, "I don't have the strength to fool with it right now." So thank you again for sharing this.
Sandra
