every ounce of patience seems to flee from peter's body the moment we are left in an exam room to wait. this day we could see the doctor standing outside the door casually polishing off a package of twizzlers with perceived disregard for the fact that he was running nearly two hours behind schedule. there wouldn't have been enough candy bars or newspapers in the world to distract my peter's mounting frustration!

now that my eyebrows are growing back, i can fully appreciate the cruel joke the universe played on me the day that i texted this picture, along with a desperate plea for help, to my best friend. my left eyebrow wiped off all at once, leaving me to decide what to do with (what was left of) my right eyebrow. after several hours of contemplation (dare i rock one eyebrow?), the decision was made for me when it also wiped off on its own. phew.
of all things that could be delivered to you on a silver platter, huh? :) at least that's what i thought each time i saw this tray approaching. while it has been a little more than a month since i finished chemo, i can clearly remember the feeling of dread associated with the arrival of this pile of syringes and IV bags packaged in their own individual hazmat baggies. (hopefully) this is a feeling i will now only relive through photos!

Yeah why do the doctors make you wait so long? Like you dont have anything better to do!! Last time Jeremy went with me to my OB appt we had to wait in the lobby for a good 45mins before we went back and he went off on this tirade about how they should offer you Starbucks or coffee or at least some kind of food while you wait and how they should have cots so you can sleep...hahaha impatient husbands :)
I'm beginning to feel like this bad dream is coming to an end....hang tough, Cutie! I can see the finish line.
