Home Stretch

We are on the HOME STRETCH... 

+for my helmet wearing days and

+for the Giants.

Tonight is game 1 for the Giants in the World Series! 

Woot Woot! Two Thumbs Up!

That's right. 

I have 3 weeks left in my helmet.

That's

1!

2!

3!

weeks and I'm out of the ol' helmet!

That's 

1!

2!

3!

strikes and the Tigers are out of the ol' ball game!

Woot Woot! Two Thumbs Up!

Let the countdown begin.

The end is in sight and boy does it look and feel good!

Woot Woot! Two Thumbs Up!

So...I went in for another helmet check up today.

The doc took some measurements and

  made a few adjustments to my helmet.

He then told me the GOOD news: I am down to a 4!!!!

Woot Woot! Two Thumbs Up!

Remember I started out at an 11...

well now the difference of my diagonals are down to a 4! 

We are right on schedule, 

if not ahead of schedule!

Woot Woot! Two Thumbs Up!

But remember, a 3 is our goal. 

So even though I am like only 1 little millimeter away from our goal, 

I am going to wear my helmet for another 3 weeks.

By then the doc says I will be well under 3mm. 

Like a 2 or better!

Woot Woot! Two Thumbs Up!

Now, I can do this because when he measured my circumference

he said I still have 8mm of growth left in my helmet. 

The last time I went in--3 weeks ago--my circumference grew 4mm.

Even IF it grew THAT much in these next 3 weeks (which usually it slows as I get older), 

I would STILL have 4mm to spare. 

So I am safe and good and on the HOME STRETCH!

Woot Woot! Two Thumbs Up!

Now Take Me To The Ball Game!
