CHEMO CAPS
I knew as soon as I said I would only post once a week, that I would find something else to say!!!! After last Friday's class, I went home and eventually sat down to work with my cotton yarn and proceed with making a dishcloth. Yikes - lo and behold, my needles and yarn were not in my bag. And then it hit me. When we were cleaning up, my good friend helped and I remembered seeing her (yes, P, it's you - LOL) scooping up Ren's sample stitches on needles and yar
n and knew right then that mine were accidently packed in with Ren's massive stash of supplies. Not a problem though - luckily, I grabbed another ball of cotton yarn, another set of needles and if you've read my blog, you know that I moved right along. So...........I ran a few errands this morning and one was stopping by the Extension office to retrieve my supplies (I had mentioned it to Ren yesterday at Church and she actually remembered seeing my stuff - I know how she knew - it had yellow in it - not one of Ren's favorite colors - so that quickly gave it away - ha ha). While there, Ren and I chatted about the upcoming class this Friday and before leaving she asked me when my next Dr.'s appointment was so that she could make sure to send the many chemo caps that caring people have made, along with me to hand out. I went ahead and took them today. I plan on talking to some of the nurses that I grew close to and let them decide how they want to hand them out. Maybe this will start a new "ministry" with them. I told Ren that they are always so kind to their patients and try to make them smile. This will provide another tool for them to use in easing your fears and concerns while going through chemo and it's after affects. Ren wasn't sure how many she had - there were bags everywhere - so I told her I would count them before delivering them. Thought you would like to see the effort that has been put into this. There are sixty-three (63). And, I can tell you, when you have lost your hair and someone has given you something they made to make you feel better, it truly means more than words can describe (plus it sure keeps your head warm)!!!!
