Oh...so close! It was well into the 4th quarter before Mound City could have been comfortable with the thought of winning the semifinal game. The Bulldogs fought hard and played to the very end! But, they played a talented, disciplined football team and came up short...32-7. I am SO PROUD to be a Stanberry Bulldog Football Fan! The guys had an awesome season and have so much to be proud of! They were IN IT TO WIN IT! They can proudly hold their head high. The tradition lives on.
I am so fortunate to be feeling so good. Last night at the game was one of the best nights I have had since chemo started on August 17th. Other than the menopausal hot flashes that caused me to shed my coat and hat, I felt great. OK...it may have been in combination with my frantic cheers for the Bulldogs. But, I have been without head gear/cover for a couple weeks due to the hot flashes. Some people have not recognized me and many make comments about me being bald with Dan. I'm sure I make some uncomfortable, but do not intend to do so. I shopped at the mall this week without anything on my head and a little girl yelled at her Mommy, "Hey, that lady does not have hair!" Her Mommy calmly reassured her it was OK, and some people do not have hair. The little girl immediately began combing her fingers through her own long, golden locks and with the most priceless look on her face, said, "NO HAIR?!?!?" It was too cute!

I was so happy that I was able to listen to the game on the Internet. The Bulldogs did play a great game and the announcers commented on how disciplined they were. Mary, I'm so happy you feel comfortable without wearing something on your head. There is nothing worse than feeling as though you are burning up. Just keep up the fight. Sending prayers and lots of love your way. Aunt Liz

ReplyDeleteI was excited to listen to the game on the Internet. It was fun to hear the announcer keep mentioning his chats with Coach Collins. Mary, you go girl. Maybe a few snowflakes on your head will cool you off! Sounds like it will be a nice day Saturday to cheer for the Bearcats. Good Luck on the home stretch. My prayers are coming your way.
