October 23
A fine shave occurred this morning with my trusty OCtober focus gear.
My Bride completed her first treatment today with no ill effects. It's early, so the nest few days should tell the story. It has been busy seeing doctors, getting things scheduled, and getting our questions answered over the last few days. Things are beginning to settle into a manageable routine. We're grateful for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers from everyone. Thank you all.
I managed to pull a "Charlie" this morning on the way to our treatment. I was not paying attention. I rushed out the back door into the garage in my socks, lost my balance on the bottom step, and fell onto the garage floor. I caught myself with my right arm and thankfully landed on a row of shoes that served to cushion the fall. It could have been much worse, but I think I sprained my wrist. Otherwise, I feel OK. I'm being encouraged to pay the doc a visit in the morning to get his verdict. The wrist is sore and stiff right now, but everything seems to be moving OK. I'm a lefty, so my shaves will not be compromised. I just won't be using my right hand for skin stretching for the next couple of days. I am more concerned that I can't eat ice cream with both hands.
I'm hopelessly behind on the thread with no hope of catching up. If someone can list the individual month-to-date purchases greater than $250 each, shaving accidents involving blood spillage greater than 2 gallons, new CT's awarded, and a list of current hot topics (bloom vs. no bloom, veg vs. tallow, country vs. western, Ky vs. St. Louis BBQ, two-sided thingy vs. one-sided thingy, etc.) that would be helpful. Also, if
@Terry is using more than 5 new DE blades per shave, I'd like to know that as well. (Yes, without having any relevant/current information, I can stir the pot.

)
I hope you all are well.
