Well, I finished my second round of chemo this last Friday. Only 6 more to go. I feel much better after this one. Hubby left the Sunday after the first one and doesn't know how I was affected. He thought yesterday was a really bad day, when in reality I had much more energy this time than last time. I was even able to work 4 hours today and didn't once feel like I was trying to swim up stream.
My hair started coming out yesterday. I'm so glad that I knew a tingly scalp meant that. The tingly feeling is a pain. I had my hair cut shorter about a week ago, so it wouldn't be a housekeeping issue when it came out. It's funny to not really care that I have all this hair in my hands. Wore my wig to school for the first time. One of the 8th graders was nice enough to tell me that all his classmates were making fun of my hair. Now, you must understand that my husband calls it my Sharon Osbourne wig. I decided early on that I was going to have as much fun with all these lemons I was given as I possible. Besides, if I'm going to care what a bunch of 8th graders think about me, then I'm working at the wrong place. I do though, care what my 7th graders friends have to say. He said no one said anything. Of course, I think they also know what is going on with me.
I just wish my kids had the courage to let me go around bald....it would be so much easier....but I guess people still feel bad when they see bald chemo heads and don't know what to do. I can certainly understand that.
This certainly seems to be an interesting road I have found myself on, and I plan on having the best time possible. Attitude is everything!
