My plan was to leave this post blank. An empty post that would convey, I hoped, that I had nothing good to say about Tuesday's wrath and so I shouldn’t say anything at all. But then Husband thought everyone would think I was dead. That didn’t seem fair. I’m nearly dead, but not quite.
Then, Husband suggested posting the meatloaf recipe my mom made tonight because it’s delicious and, get a load of this, food-related. That would have meant typing up a recipe, though. Also, it would have detracted from the misery theme I was going for. So that’s why I’m song-poisoning you with this ditty that’s been running through my head all day instead.
Forgive me.
So many congratulations on the last of the chemo- now I have that song in my head too, which is misery indeed. I'm glad that I can take a little of the misery on in that way. I hope the songs get better in the days to come...

Great. Now I'm going to have that in MY head. This is how you celebrate your last chemo treatment?
Well, I guess it's better than something by Cheap Trick. Or Dexys Midnight Runners.

Congratulations! I can't quite thank you for the video, though. This one's a sticker.

Yay Tammy!! You're all done!!
OMG the video, the clothes, the shoes! It was so frightening!
Bless you for taking the time to let us know how you are. Husband was right we do worry about you!

Congrats to you and Mr Biv DeVoe on going through something that horrible and living to tell the tale. At least your chemo will never be on YouTube.

I almost peed my pants! I had a full-on 80's flashback, right down to my big hair, rubber bracelets and cobalt blue pumps! Girl, chemo is over--may your youth and vitality return in full force.
Hugs from Atlanta!

Everyone: Thanks guys. Chemo is indeed over but the hideous side effects continue. I can't throw any parties until: a) I stop feeling like shit piled on top of existing shit; or b) I get that song out of my head. The dancing, though, will always make me laugh.
