First of all we had a really, nice, quiet weekend....no visitors. I love seeing my family but it was just nice to do NOTHING. It's been 2 weeks since my last chemo and I am starting to feel better. But I am sure my dr will continue the chemo next week. Well, if that's what I gotta do I guess I gotta do it.
Yesterday afternoon Kev and I had errands to run so I cleaned up and off we went. I dread making myself presentable....(yes, I do it IF I leave the house). We stopped at a local restaurant for an early supper....first time I've been out for pleasure in a month. As I looked at the menu nothing appealed to me. The strawberries looked pretty good.......so I had a pancake with strawberries (and Kev shared his ham with me). That's a first, I NEVER order breakfast in the middle of the day.
Another first: no make up! I'm one who always wears make up, even if I'm staying at home. That certainly has changed! I never even think of makeup anymore....altho I did tell Kev if he wanted me to wear some he'd have to apply it. He said if he did that he would not let me out of the house. We had a nice, early dinner. It was so good to be 'normal'.
I knew it was going to happen....and I'm really sad. My scalp and hair was hurting .... I know what that means....I noticed today that I am shedding :-( I really, really like my short, curly hair. It's so easy to take care of. I have my wig, but it feels small and I feel self conscious when I wear it. I might have one or 2 sunhats here, but my favorite one blew away one windy day. And, of course, I don't have any turbans here! I am going to call a local cancer center and see what they can help me with.
Damm Cancer!!!!
Damn cancer is right, Linda!!!! I am glad you got out for a kind of 'normal'day...and sorry that you are losing your hair again. You will do this with grace though- just as you did before. If you did it once you can do it again. I got faith in ya, baby! Blessings and love to you- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your going through hair loss again but I'm very happy to hear that you've been feeling better and that you've felt well enough to be out and about having some fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry to hear what you're going through again. Sending out prayers and hugs from afar. xx
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that you were able to get out and about and that you are feeling better. Sorry to hear about your hair but remember that we are more than our looks. A cute turban would make you look great!

ReplyDeleteOh Linda so sorry it's happening again. But you faith, attitude are inspiring. You have been on my dearest and my pray list for a long time, and I love the updates so we can pray more effectly. So happy you could have a pancake and strawberries, and a bit of hubby's ham. Perhaps its true....Make up is a waste of time and money.... HaHa. You are beautiful without any of it. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteYou will get through the hair loss, and the turbans and scarves will work well. A little lipstick goes a long way in making you feel better!
