Post 49: 11th December

Every day I find copious amounts of skin in my clothing. I warn Chris that he may one morning wake to find an empty outer shell shaped like me, but with nothing inside it.
I have always had really thick wiry hair (the grandchildren call it Grandma’s sharp hair), but now I am noticing bits of scalp showing through. They warned me it was a side effect of Chemo, though I am unlikely to go completely bald with this particular chemical. I must be grateful for that.
The furniture arrived today as promised just before 11am and it is a blessing to relax into a comfy reclining settee rather than perch awkwardly in a garden chair which I’ve been doing for the last month! The delivery men are helpful and unpack it all for me , taking the mess with them. Great! it would have taken me the rest of the day in my current state. I express my gratitude with a tip. At Rachel’s request I send some pictures of the new sofas to her via email. By return she sends me some snaps of the girls with the comment:
Sorry, my kids don't look quite as comfy and luxurious as your couches, but I think you'll agree they are much cuter!

I have to agree. See what you think!
