My hair is definitely coming out. When I wrote last it was just a couple of strands, now it is more like a dozen or more. My scalp is sore. It is a different feeling from any other I have ever had. When I move my hair it hurts. I am afraid to wash it.
Last night was Bunco night with my school group. We laughed, talked, and had a good time together. I was out later than usual so I am starting later than usual today. I also don't really have plans for today. That works out great!
Tomorrow they changed my appointment time. I will get to go through the whole lab process (previously described) at 8:30 and then I will meet with the oncologist at 9:00. So, if I think of any questions today I will write them down. It seems as if I think of a question and as soon as it is formed it escapes! So, hopefully I will be near a pen and pad of paper to write it down. If I am not, by the time I locate the pen and pad of paper I will wonder why I wanted them. It is what it is! (I am not sure this will pass!)
I am very excited! My sister is coming on Friday to help me through this round of chemo. She will be a big comfort for Ken and I to have here. Ken might be able to get a few things done without worrying about me while she is here. There are always things to look forward to. I have decided not to eat right after chemo. I expect that to keep me from puking all night. Since I do not plan on puking my strength won't be as zapped, so maybe I won't sleep through my sisters whole visit. This patience thing is hard to get a handle on. I am trying.
