I shaved my head

Steve here.  So I was in need of a haircut, and when I was home all day Sunday I decided I'd just shave it all off.  So it's gone now! I'm bald and it's weird, haha.  Anywho, now for the more important matters at hand.  My hair is gone and my head is weirder shaped than I ever thought it would be. Oh well, you can't win 'em all!  

Now in complete seriousness, I would like to extend a very very strong and heartfelt thank you to everyone who's been keeping me and my health in their thoughts and prayers.  Like I mentioned in a previous post, all of this support really is helping me to keep positive.  Without all of you, I just know I'd find myself in a very depressing mood 95% of the time.  Specifically, I would like to say thank you so much to the Messiah Knitting Ministry and the ladies of the Bible study group, you know who you are.  Thank you very much for the generous and thoughtful prayer shawl gift!  It's very beautiful and I'm positive my family and I will hold it very close throughout this experience.  I know it means a lot to me and I can guarantee it means a ton to my mom.  

For a little update, I had a consult with Dr. Morris this morning.  He's the surgeon who's going to be throwing a port in my chest.  I thought he seemed like a very nice guy and my mom and I could just tell that he is the kind of doctor who's very comfortable in a surgery-type situation.  I think I'm in good hands with him.  Now we're just waiting on Wednesday to come for my consult with the radiation oncologist, and right after that, my port placement surgery!

Hoping all is well with everyone,

--Steve
