Today was a good day. The new meds are helping my mother. It wasn't perfect. There were moments of anxiety, pain and sadness. Even with that she is hopeful, as am I. She decided, for some unknown reason, to shave her head. I was originally against the idea. Mainly because i assumed this was a decision made during a less than stable moment. A "Britney" if you will.
She convinced me otherwise. It is her belief that shaving her head will be a symbolic first step on her new beginning. And so a shaving we did go. To be honest it was cathartic for me as well. I haven't laughed liked that (during the shaving) in months. It was a good day. I hope tomorrow will be if not better, than just as good. Or at least not much worse.
