108. Chemo Heads or Tails

This one is dedicated to S.A.  Thank you for all your encouragement!  Bisou!

Manitoba friends were having an anniversary party.  My husband and I  were invited.  So we went, taking our small Beachcomber camper along and we camped in our friends' yard.  It was a great visit and party!  Not in any rush to get home afterward, we decided to make a small side-trip to the International Peace Garden, a 9,5 km2 park located on the Canada-United States border between the province of Manitoba and the state of North Dakota.  It is a lovely park, a symbol of peace between the two countries.  To our chagrin we found no campground nearby.  The closest one we would come across was situated at Oak Lake.  We decided to stay there for the night.  The campground was packed.  We got the last campsite available.  Because our Beachcomber had no shower in it, the weather had been extremely hot and we had been on the road several days by then, being able to shower was something to really look forward to!  Up to that point we had mostly been camping in our own province and had not yet encountered a coin-operated shower as was the case here.  I prepared two "bathing baskets": one for my husband, and one for myself and we emptied our pockets and divided the coins more or less equally.  I hurried to the shower barracks because I wanted to beat the rush.  I was in luck: no line-up yet.  But I no sooner had undressed and people began to line up behind me. I put the coins in the machine and discovered that in my haste I had grabbed my husband's basket.  It did not contain a lot of coins, in fact the coins amounted to roughly 3 minutes of shower time.  It did have a towel but instead of my usual shampoo and luxurious soap had a bottle of Head and Shoulders, a dandruff shampoo.  Oh well I shrugged.  I did not want to leave without being refreshed so I decided to lather up from head to toe with the dandruff shampoo.  I am not in a habit of using this product, so I plead ignorance.  But anyone who does use it will tell you that you do not want to get this shampoo in your eyes: it will sting and burn!  Well, the same goes for any other delicate parts I found out.  I have never danced around in a shower like I did then and there, trying to get this shampoo off my private parts before the money ran out.  Ouch!!  My husband commented afterward that he never had such a relaxing shower being lavender scented and all that.  I couldn't help but think how lush, shiny and dandruff-free my "nether parts" must have been. 😏

Biopsy tomorrow.  Not looking forward to it!  Results may take up to 2 weeks.  Back in about a week. Keep well!  SanTeh!
