His facial hair was growing in black patches, which was weird. Then it changed and turned back to his original colour, but was super curly. Chuck was freaked out because he said it made him look exactly like his mom lol. After a year or so, it straightened out a bit, and now it looks like it used to. :)Kynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-64077667703548710312010-08-17T22:48:56.762-04:002010-08-17T22:48:56.762-04:00I was going to comment on my exfoliating crepe myr...I was going to comment on my exfoliating crepe myrtles, but really!

For everything I had thought about though, I hadn't really thought about the 'contagious' part of chemo, but it makes perfect sense. Glad Chuck has all that put behind him now though.

Chuck's a year and a half away from 50, and I keep expecting the frisky (yes I could just be a grown up and say horny, but frisky is funny) to decline. <br /><br />Nope. Viagra, shmiagra. I'm glad, because I hear those bastards are expensive!<br /><br />Do you think as many men would buy those pills if it was called Shmiagra?<br /><br />Yeah. Yeah, they probably would. Because the primary reason men evolved legs was as a mode of transport for their penises. That's also the reason why the wheel was invented. <br /><br />Never mind.Kynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-71881585326692085822010-08-16T03:34:43.700-04:002010-08-16T03:34:43.700-04:00I remember when I was in hospital once, hooked up ...I remember when I was in hospital once, hooked up to an ECG thing.

Indeed, research has shown that adverse conditions increase the friskiness ratio.

They don't hurt as much if they're funny :O) <br /><br />I'm sorry you had to go through all that with your dad. I thought my dad would get cancer, if not of his liver than definitely of his lungs. He was a smoker and a drinker. <br /><br />But his bad eating habits got him first, he died of a heart attack in 2002. It was pretty sudden. I try and take it to heart and make myself healthier, so good things come out of bad things. That's the way it is, even if we don't see it that way at the time.<br /><br />Bub: Ha! I should be skinny for all the running I do from Chuck chasing me around. Ok...jogging. I kind of want to be caught.<br /><br />Crazy Lady: I know! I still think about it, how weird that was. After a few months my hair was growing in though, sure enough. <br /><br />Al: He had the surgery and the chemo in early to mid 2006. So 4 1/2 years I guess. He still takes every opportunity he can to make himself his own public service announcement. Just last night we were over at a friend's house with a bunch of people, and someone who had never met Chuck was there.<br /><br />The dude lit up a cigarette, and Chuck lifted up his shirt. All of the rest of us were like, 'Here we go!' <br /><br />The guy's eyes get all wide (he's a Marine, btw) and asks, 'Cancer?'<br /><br />Chuck goes, 'No, shrapnel.'<br /><br />LOL! The guy was totally fooled until Chuck started laughing and was like, 'Yeah, cancer!'<br /><br />That's my man. Not only a charmer, also the biggest bullshitter around :P<br /><br />Shyrlene: Totally 'balding man in denial'. I used to laugh, but since I had my own balding experience? Now I only slightly giggle. Because that could be me someday :P I totally wouldn't let Chuck shave my head though. I'd go get it done at the salon, and get a manicure and a massage thrown in. ;)Kynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-92033176393034586212010-08-15T17:26:18.139-04:002010-08-15T17:26:18.139-04:00The way your mind works ... reading your posts is ...The way your mind works ... reading your posts is always such a compelling journey!! <br /><br />(I agree w/ Bernie -- Michael Bolton... yikes; ...we actually have had an ongoing family debate as to whether his hair style is a "mullet" or just a balding man in denial?!
