The New (And Improved) Me

IMG_4307.jpgThis ain’t no Friday Flowerblogging entry baby. Rather than warn you, I just thought I’d give you a late Halloween scare. The Vorlon Wife plans on putting a copy of this photo in all the closets to keep mice out of the house. She may even put a large image outside the house to discourage potential thieves.

I’m thinking of getting some nice hats, now that I have a good reason to buy them. Like this one.

I’m starting to some research on blood markers for my enemy. My concern is should the chemo appear to be effective, I don’t want to wait for another tumor before I restart treatment. I expect I will become much like an insulin diabetes patient with continual treatments, maybe a couple of times a year. I got this idea after reading “The Patient from Hell.” The Vorlon Parents saw the author interviewed and I ordered the book. I found it a VERY worthwhile read.

I think you should draw some hair on your head kind of like Charlie Brown's hair with permanent marker. Or if you're feeling really ambitious you could draw on a Homer Simpson hair do. If you're feeling more traditional you could simply write "I'm with stupid" on the back of your head and show up to a client site.

Well Ted we think you look very Good. A big smile
says it all. If we can smile when faced with
challenges like yours it says there's a fighter if there ever was one. It's better to take it all off up front rather than go through the slow process of having it fall out. Now that's over you can get on with what's at hand.

If we were there we would both give you a great
BIG HUG.

Ted, I love both Rachel's and Mom and Dad's responses. Have The Vorlon Wife give you a big hug and kiss from Mrs. Depraved Brain and I.

Yul Bryner, Telly Salvalis, Ted Armstrong .... all bald and beautiful.

Your smile is great. Reminds me of Michael Jordon's smile (another man that looks great with a shaved head!).

Rachel has a great idea with the drawing, but that means The Vorlon Wife would have to wear a T-shirt simply saying 'Stupid' on it. Sometimes Vorlon Wife's don't have the same sense of humor as their husbands.

Or just put something on your head like ...This Space For Rent.

Forgot to mention - I love the hat you are thinking about ordering. It's a classic!

Rachel, by the way, is one of the Vorlon Nieces. I think people with darker skin tones look better with a bald pate. I am thankful that I don't have any noticeable peaks or valleys in my scalp. I’m wondering if my eyebrows and eyelashes will also fall out. In reading Lance Armstrong’s book, that’s what happened to him.

Thank you for your support.

As Rachel's mother & Vorlon's sister, I must say that I was sure that there HAD to have been a few dents on that head. I could have sworn that I put a couple there years ago! Plus I never realized how big the lower half of your face was. It really is amazing what we look like when we take away the fluff. Maybe we all should take a closer look at ourselves without our daily fluff. Maybe we would be more humble and less pious regarding our ownselves.

Hang in there, Dude! It's amazing the warp power you have after the battles you've had so far.

Love,
Kathy

Hey Ted! You're looking great!! Now you're right up there with Bruce Willis, Patrick Stewart and Telly Savalas!! (One of the girls in my office just asked who Telly is! oops! I didn't think he was THAT long ago!!

Glad to hear you are feeling better! You're always in our thoughts!
