11 July 2016

Me: "I'm just going to brush my hair."
Brian raises eyebrows.
"Well 'hair' is singular as well as plural."

Hmmm. It's clear that there's not a lot to report this week. 
Fortunately we've had cold wintery weather which is very well suited to wearing hats. You'd think that would make my morning dressing a little quicker but not so, as the time previously spent in hair-styling now goes into carefully selecting a hat suited to my mood and chosen clothing!

Meantime it's amazing how cancer (or more accurately, the drugs used to treat cancer) impact the more ordinary things in life. A recent routine trip to the dentist for a check-up revealed 2 ulcers around a back tooth. Further checks two weeks later showed that the ulcers hadn't changed and because of the risk of an abscess forming it may require treatment. However my dentist is not game enough to touch anything in my mouth because of my monthly denosumab injection which may impede healing, so off to a specialist in Geelong I have to go (consultation in Warrnambool, treatment in Geelong). 
Nothing is quite as straight-forward as before.
