Never underestimate children

1 minute read time.

Time contiues to fly by.. I cannot believe that I will be having the second round of this chemo on Wednesday. And I am really chuffed that I have only missed two and a half daysa off work. The side effects of the chemo have not been too bad, they all seemed to happen in the first few days and then apart from the general tiredness they seemed tosettle down. It is strange having numb fingertips though!

Last Saturday it was my birthday and as my hair had started to fall out I thought it time to shave it all off and with the help of my young granddaughter I did it. So On Monday off I went to work thinking it will be easy to keep a hat on through the day. Hah! I forgot to take into consideration the heat generated not only by the central heating system but also by the bodies of 30 children. By playtime I was dripping! Something Had to be done.. the hat had to come off! I gathered my next class of children together and explained what was happening, they can all remember my first encounter with the big C. And off came the hat! Infact since then it has been off every day..... and not one of the kids inschool has been phased by my baldness...in fact some of the littlies just think it is my new haircut!

Now I wonder what they will think of my wig???

Take care all xx

    Kids can be the most amazing creatures in times of need (of course they can also be the exact opposite to their peers!) but on the whole, the children at my pre-school never failed to amaze, or cheer me up.  I miss it every day!

    Good luck with the treatment and kudos to your attitude, I take my hat off to you (no pun intended, or maybe it was ..........just a little lol)

        Hi Jazz,

        Glad your back at work. Its amazing how kids dont really notice things like a bald head or you wearing A hat . I lay uou a bet they will notice the wig. All the best and good luck.

        Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

          God bless our children and all they can teach us!

          • Please don't wear yourself out looking after all the 'ankle-biters'. Take it easy and fight the ********.

            Best wishes,
