Hello Kitty.

One of the byproducts of cancer treatment is the ability to manage the multiple perceptions from the various doctors.  Timing I found to be the critical factor in how well you adjust to the Meds.  If I take the anti nausea meds too late, it diminishes their effectivity.

In order to manage the timing I use my phone alarm and calendar, while toting around multiple vials of prescriptions.  A friend had made a little tote for Gayle that was just the right size.  The only problem was that the design was somewhat feminine in nature.  Being classified as a senior and the reduced capacity to be embarrassed, I carry it around with me religiously, plopping it down on the table in front of me at restaurants.

One day as I sat by myself with my drug tote, I realized how strange it looked.  I  took the photo and requested a more masculine design.  My request was more of a desperate plea with a concession that a black Hello Kitty was acceptable.  Tina within a day delivers a Star Trek themed bag with a hidden hello kitty patch inside.  I now maintain my masculinity by proudly carrying my new bag exploring new worlds where no man has gone before.  Thank you Tina!!

By the way the Wada clan welcomed another boy, congratulations to Kerri and Josh on the birth of Luke !!!
