Heading for LA

2000

July 7, 2000

       I am headed for LA tonight - to see Fabio tomorrow.
       I have the dress, the shoes, the makeup. More or less.
       I have all pills, a notebook, books to read.
       I will do my nails there (at the last minute - they are still, of course, fracturing right and left. It will take months for them to grow out normal).
       And the news on my son is not good.
        I am sure God knew that I would need a hug in July - it has to be why, when I accidently (not really planned) won Fabio in the BBGLA event, the date couldn't manage to get scheduled until now.
       I will know later today what we do next for my younger son - chemo and radiation, prognosis, etc. I am trying really hard to not think until then.
       I just know I will need strong arms to give me a very big hug by Saturday.
My older son took his brother out for pizza last night and will come up and take him out to the movies this weekend while I am gone.
       We live near Stanford - a center to diagnosis and treat lymph node Lymphomoas.
We have specialists (two of them hopped on this - and about 30 pathologists are reviewing the tissue).
       He will not be leaving home (which is probably why he has not packed or cleaned his room). Also why he hasn't bother learning to drive. Yet.
       I believe things work themselves out as they need to be worked out.
       So for now, I will seek comfort with a tall blond, a list of questions from fans and a camera.
       The dress is just fine.
      I've lost weight this week.
