So my hair started falling out today. I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, I have thick hair so maybe it won't be noticeable for a while yet, but on the other hand..OMG it's my hair falling out!! I'm going to try not to obsess to much about it. Yep, gonna try. Funny the questions that immediately come to mind...is it ok to rinse it off my hands down the shower drain or will it clog it up? Should I instead gather it and throw it away? Umm yuck! And hooray, I get to take another shot of the chemo Wednesday. Daughter's wedding is Saturday...please let me not have a bald spot! I have wild curly hair and I read a post on RaWarriors fb that said the chemo treatments made her curly hair straight. Maybe that will happen to me and I can finally let it grow out, well when it stops falling out! /points to hair, orders it to STAY!
It was so windy here today. I'd go outside and then come into my house and realize how snug it really is. That made me think about my husband. No matter how stormy it gets, its always snug and safe near him. I am truly blessed in that respect. I read posts about women who's husbands don't want to hear about their disease activity or pain and I thank God that mine has such a great sense of humor and such a huge love for me. This disease can't break that!
Oh and finally, I ate spinach that grew in the garden. Still trying to decide how I feel about picking it up outside vs picking it up at the grocery store lol! It was super yummy though and actually tasted a bunch better in the salad we made. Very crisp and flavorful!
