Jimmy's beautiful blond hair is about 85% gone now, and we're finding its loss fairly traumatic. As long as he looked the same, it was possible to pretend that everything was ok. He has also lost weight, probably about ten or twelve pounds, and continues to suffer from extreme fatigue. Just taking a shower this morning wore him out so badly that he had to get back in the bed and rest for thirty minutes before he could get dressed. It could be, too, that when he got out of the shower and looked in the mirror and saw how much hair had gone down the drain, he, in my grandmother's words, "took to the bed". Otherwise, we're fine.

Hello sweet original love of my life, I hope this finds you both in great spirits. I have been out of touch because I lost the "blog" address, but have it now. I tried to call a couple of times, but know how totally salmmed you've been. I'd love to see you anytime you would like a respite so give me a call anytime you see that fits. I am right down the street from you on Oakdale. Cell:404-316-3107. Home:404-373-2150. Do know that you and Jimmy are always in my thoughts and heart. Love, Burt
